Across all Resplendent Ceylon and Reverie properties, we recently honoured our commitment to the planet for Earth Hour by dimming or turning off all non-essential lighting, from guest areas to back-of-house and staff accommodations, creating a serene, low-impact environment.

This transition into shadows set the stage for a series of intimate, lamp-lit dinners that fostered deep connection, while Cape Weligama elevated the evening’s energy with a captivating fire dancer performance.

At Cape Weligama, we transformed a simple garden visit into a hands-on culinary journey. We invited our guests to step into our resort gardens to harvest fresh produce, reconnecting them with the authentic origins of their food. We harvested over 400 kgs of vegetables from tomato, brinjal, cabbage, okra and more.

This experience isn't just about dining; it's about transparency and participation in the story of sustainability.

An evening of pride, purpose, and people.

Held on the 13th of February, the Resplendent Awards 2025 marked a milestone moment for our organisation, bringing together teams from across our properties to celebrate excellence, commitment, and the spirit that defines Resplendent Ceylon.

The evening honoured long-serving ambassadors whose dedication has shaped our journey over the years, recognised teams and individuals delivering exceptional performance, and reflected the passion behind our global accolades, including the Michelin Keys and the Relais & Châteaux Savoir Flair Award. Each recognition was a reminder that true luxury is built through consistency, care, and the people who bring our values to life every day.

A proud reflection of where we are, and an exciting look at where we’re headed, as we continue to grow with purpose and ambition.

Sri Lanka is healing again, and the speed at which the country is bouncing back is truly inspiring. The traditional Sri Lanka itinerary is fully accessible via road, and while we have been silent, our teams have been working in the background to take care of our fellow Sri Lankans and all our guests as well. Sri Lankan hospitality and humanity has shone through at this time, and we invite you to continue to be part of the Sri Lanka story.

Tourism is a key driver of the economy, and every single tourist visiting will strengthen the country yet again. All 5 resorts are operating at high occupancies, with our loyal guests experiencing the best of what our people have to offer. We will see you soon.
