Sri Lankan businessman Javana Fernando oversees management of each of the properties, as proprietor and managing director of the operating companies, combining his family interests with his own vision for Sri Lanka tourism.
“Our properties are unique, with their own signature of life in Sri Lanka. They have one common thread: our commitment to responsible, low impact tourism. We offer our guests discerning, private and very special destination experiences, from bespoke safaris, to relaxing beach culture, to the quiet restfulness of being surrounded by nature as far as the eye can see. We have always strived to harmonise our living concepts with the integrity of our natural surroundings. We give our guests every opportunity to experience sustainable initiatives and environmentally considerate accommodation options; that maximise luxury while mindful of their footprint on Sri Lanka,” Mr. Fernando said in a press release.
