Resplendent Ceylon

Conceived by the Fernando family, Sri Lankan tea producers & founders of Dilmah Ceylon Tea, Resplendent Ceylon’s collection of small, luxury resorts offer the discerning traveler a remarkable circuit across Sri Lanka, with a range of authentic experiences, while contributing towards local communities & the environment through the MJF Foundation & Dilmah Conservation.

This 'best of Sri Lanka' circuit currently features three distinctively original resorts, connected by a thread of peerless service. They are the sole Sri Lankan members of Relais & Chateaux, the global fellowship of individually owned & operated luxury hotels and restaurants. All three resorts; Tea Trails, Cape Weligama and Wild Coast Tented Lodge have won global acclaim as the finest in Sri Lanka.

Today, all three resorts are globally recognised with Michelin Key distinctions. Cape Weligama holds 1 Michelin Key and is featured on the Condé Nast Traveller Gold List 2026. Wild Coast Tented Lodge is the only resort in Sri Lanka awarded 2 Michelin Keys, while Ceylon Tea Trails remains the country’s sole 3 Michelin Key resort, setting the benchmark for luxury hospitality on the island.
