Connaissance De Ceylan

At Connaissance de Ceylan, we've been creating locally flavoured dream holidays around Sri Lanka since 1981. We believe in embodying sustainable and ethical business practices and aim to work with hotels and experience providers that share similar values.

We are passionate about creating 'genuinely local, dream holidays' — we've partnered to create a handful of hotels scattered around the island, the first of their kind to Sri Lankanise a unique regional experience.
