Luxury Tourism in Sri Lanka
Market & Trends
According to the Sri Lanka Tourism Development Authority (SLTDA), luxury accommodations make up a significant and growing segment of the tourism supply.
In 2024, about 32% of hotel rooms in Sri Lanka were classified as “luxury” (19,000 out of ~60,000 rooms).
There is increasing demand for sustainable, eco‑luxury stays: many high-end properties emphasize environmental responsibility, wildlife, and wellness.
Luxury tourism supports eco-resorts, heritage hotels, boutique villas, and “slow luxury” experiences, not just conventional big hotels.
Types of Luxury Experiences in Sri Lanka
Eco-Luxury Nature Retreats: Resorts in wetlands, paddy fields, or forested areas.
Heritage & Colonial Luxury: Restored bungalows in tea-country, architecturally significant hotels.
Beach & Cliff Resorts: High-end villas, ocean views, infinity pools, wellness/spa.
Wellness & Ayurveda: Spa retreats, yoga, traditional Ayurvedic therapies.
Safari / Wildlife Luxury: Tented lodges near national parks with guided safaris.
