In the ever-evolving landscape of global travel, where meaningful experiences increasingly take precedence over opulence alone, Sri Lanka is quietly ushering in a new era of hospitality—one that blends the island's soul with curated comfort and purpose. At the heart of this evolution stands Island Life – Sri Lanka, the freshly unveiled identity of Maitland & Knox Heritage Hotels. Known for their award-winning properties like Galle Fort Hotel, Thotalagala, and The Warden’s House, the group’s rebranding is more than just a name change—it’s a statement of intent.
With a focus on immersive, experience-led travel, Island Life – Sri Lanka positions itself as “the custodians of the perfect Sri Lankan experience.” The new identity is built around five core pillars—Sanctuary, Adventure, Memories, Indulgence, and Responsibility—each rooted in authenticity and purpose. The idea is simple but transformative: travel should nourish the senses, connect cultures, and leave people and places better than they were.
