While every aspect of a wedding is purely optional, there’s just one thing you cannot skip - the location. Finding the ideal venue can be a tough decision amongst many others a couple would have to make. However, if your heart is set on a destination wedding and the tropics are calling your name, here’s a few things to consider when hosting yours in Sri Lanka.

The towering strong, dark and textured trunk extends toward the clear blue skies. Its cascading crown of leaves bloom and spread, casting playful shadows across the ground beneath.

While Mr Fernando’s contribution and devotion to building a global tea brand has been highlighted by a multitude of tributes, his contribution to hospitality has been remarkable in so many ways. Along with his family, Dilmah created Ceylon Tea Trails, and 18 years later, the resort reached a pinnacle of being listed on the Condé Nast Traveller Gold List. Similarly, his faith in Cape Weligama and Wild Coast Tented Lodge have demonstrated his confidence in the growth of the tourism industry. We are all incredibly proud to have been part of that journey.
