Or let us design your journey from the ground up
You share your vision, how you want to travel, and what matters most to you.
We take it from there.
With our local expertise and personal guidance, we create a journey thoughtfully designed in every detail, from the first idea to your return home.
Everything is planned, booked and coordinated for you.
So you can focus on the experience.
Every journey begins with a feeling.
When you travel with Sri Lanka Vacay, you can either start from one of my carefully curated journeys – or create something entirely tailored from the ground up.
Whichever path you choose, every journey is designed with the same intention: that the entire experience feels right. From the very first moment to the last day.
That is why every journey begins with a design phase.
Designing your journey
We always begin with a personal conversation where I take the time to understand you, what you are longing for, what matters most, and how you want your journey to feel.
This is a first step, completely without obligation, where we explore together whether we are the right fit to create your journey.
If you choose to move forward after our conversation, I begin designing your personal travel proposal, where the full experience is carefully curated, including accommodations, route, pacing, and experiences, presented in an inspiring format.
As part of this process, a design fee applies:
Tailor made journeys, individual or family: 1,500 SEK
Private group journeys: 3,000 SEK
The fee reflects the time and care invested in designing your journey and is of course deducted from the total trip cost upon booking.
Why a design fee?
Each journey I create is built on time, care, and close collaboration with trusted local partners in Sri Lanka.
The focus is not only on what you do, but how it feels throughout the journey.
Creating the right flow, the right pacing, and the right balance from the very beginning.
The design fee allows me to dedicate the time needed to create something truly tailored to you.
Based on how you feel after reviewing the proposal, we refine the journey together, until it feels exactly right.
