What does "Travel With Us" mean?
At selected times throughout the year, we invite a small number of travellers to experience Sri Lanka alongside us.
These journeys are different from traditional group tours. They are designed around the same philosophy that guides all our journeys: meaningful experiences, carefully selected boutique hotels, personal connections and a slower, more thoughtful way of travelling.
Some journeys are created for families. Others are designed for small groups of like-minded travellers. What they all have in common is the opportunity to experience Sri Lanka through the eyes of people who know and love the country beyond the guidebooks.
Whether you choose to join one of our hosted journeys or travel independently with a tailor-made itinerary, our goal is always the same: to help you experience Sri Lanka in a more personal way.
Why do we travel together?
For me, these journeys are about more than showing people a destination.
Sri Lanka has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. It is where my family comes from, where I have spent countless moments throughout the years and a place that continues to inspire me every time I return.
Through these journeys, I hope to share some of that connection with others. Not only the places themselves, but also the feeling of being there. The people you meet, the conversations you have and the memories that stay with you long after you return home.
My hope is that you leave with a deeper connection to Sri Lanka, a collection of meaningful memories and perhaps even a feeling that a small part of the island has become part of you too.
That is why these journeys exist.
The Highlands
Tea country, train journeys and cooler evenings in the hills.
The Coast
Boutique stays, long dinners and time that moves differently.
Everyday Sri Lanka
Fresh fruit, tuk tuks, tropical mornings and life close to the local rhythm.
Who These Journeys Are For
Travellers looking for something more personal
You want more than simply checking places off a list.
You're looking for genuine moments, local experiences and a journey that feels thoughtful from beginning to end.
Whether you're travelling as a family, with friends or across several generations, you're looking for something more meaningful than a traditional holiday.
People tired of stressful tourism
You want to avoid crowds, rushed schedules and tourist traps.
Instead, you want to travel at a slower pace, with space for spontaneous moments and true relaxation.
You value quality over quantity and prefer experiences that feel personal rather than mass produced.
Those wanting to truly feel Sri Lanka
You want to get closer to the country, the people, the food and the culture.
Not just to see Sri Lanka, but to feel it, understand it and bring home memories that stay with you.
Whether you're travelling with family, friends, a club or a small private group, you're looking for a deeper connection with the destination.

About us
SweLanka Family
Sri Lanka Vacay was founded by Ida Ohlsson, a Swedish Sri Lanka specialist with roots in both Sweden and Sri Lanka and a lifelong connection to the island.
Sri Lanka has been part of our lives for many years and has become something far more personal than simply a destination. It is a second home filled with people, places and experiences that continue to draw us back.
We return to Sri Lanka regularly as a family to reconnect with the people, culture and rhythm of everyday life, while continuing to explore the island beyond the traditional tourist route.
At selected times throughout the year, a small number of travellers will have the opportunity to experience parts of that journey alongside us.
Together with Sri Lanka Vacay and Travel Experts Sweden, all journeys are arranged with package travel protection and financial security for additional peace of mind.
