Story
Sri Lanka Through the Lens of Ceylon Unearthed
Ceylon Unearthed is a boutique travel agency based in Sri Lanka, curating intimate, immersive journeys for discerning travelers seeking authenticity and depth.
We design bespoke experiences that go far beyond the expected, inviting you to live the island’s rhythms through vibrant markets, ancestral kitchens, hidden temples, and serene village landscapes.
Each journey is thoughtfully crafted to offer not just exploration, but connection — with culture, community, and the quiet beauty of everyday Sri Lankan life. With a deep respect for culture, community, and comfort, we offer travel that’s not just seen, but intimately lived.
Crafted with Care, the Island Way
Like a perfect cup of Ceylon tea — we believe in slow, thoughtful perfection.
Every itinerary is handpicked and personalised, blending luxury with local charm. Whether it’s a hidden beach villa or a village lunch beneath the palms, we tailor every moment with grace and intention.
Journeys, not scripted but lived
From your first “Ayubowan” to your last farewell, you’ll be embraced with heartfelt care. Our team is here not just to guide, but to make you feel seen, safe, and truly at home in our island paradise.

"Having traveled to over 50 countries, nothing has captivated my heart and soul quite like Sri Lanka. The culture, the kindness, the chaos and moments of calm is part of the magic you will find in every corner of this beautiful island. That’s why I founded Ceylon Unearthed: to help people truly experience the raw, unfiltered beauty of this island. I want every human to not just visit Sri Lanka, but to know how to Lanka! To live it, breathe it, and feel it from the inside out, and by the end of their travels, to feel at home. This isn’t about tourist trails. It’s about real stories, real people, and the real Sri Lanka. If you're seeking authentic, off-the-beaten-path travel experiences that connect you to the heart of the island, Ceylon Unearthed was made for you."

"Every time I leave Sri Lanka, I don’t just miss my home; I miss 'home'. Not the building I live in, but that feeling you only get here in Sri Lanka… It’s in the way strangers smile at you, the aunty at the corner shop calls you 'putha', the scent of freshly cooked dhal and sambol in the air. Sri Lanka is more than a place; it’s a feeling, where you feel safe, seen, and heard, from the authentic food that tastes like childhood, to the people who treat you like family even when they don’t know your name. With Ceylon Unearthed, I wanted to create more than just a travel experience. I want the world to feel held by its beauty, its people, and its stories, and to experience a home that welcomes you, even if it’s your first time here."
