We are a small family-run business in Sri Lanka, I am incredibly proud of our mission to promote local products and services while protecting social and environmental values. Our goal is to uplift the living standards of local villages and minimize our carbon footprint as much as possible. We believe that sustainable tourism is the future, and we are dedicated to leading the way in this important movement. That's why we use solar power to generate 50% of our energy consumption and only use LED bulbs in our villa. We also source our products and services from local communities, ensuring that our tourism dollars go directly to supporting the people who live in the areas we visit. We want our guests to feel good knowing that they are making a positive impact on the world while enjoying the beauty of Sri Lanka.
