Our Story

Over two decades of crafting unparalleled hospitality experiences in the heart of Sri Lanka.

A Legacy of Authentic Sri Lankan Luxury

For over 20 years, Governor's Collection has been a distinguished name in Sri Lanka's leisure industry, born from a deep-rooted passion for the island's breathtaking natural beauty and rich cultural tapestry. Our journey began with a simple yet profound vision: to redefine luxury hospitality by creating exclusive retreats that offer discerning travellers an authentic and truly immersive experience.

Today, that vision is embodied in a curated portfolio of properties nestled in Sri Lanka's most spectacular locations. Each camp and resort is a testament to our commitment, reflecting a unique blend of traditional charm, modern elegance, and a profound respect for the environment that surrounds us.

Our Core Values

These principles are the bedrock of our identity, guiding everything we do.

Exceptional Hospitality

We are dedicated to providing personalized service and genuine warmth, making every guest feel cherished and well-cared for from the moment they arrive.

Uncompromising Quality

From the thread count of our linens to the ingredients in our kitchens, we maintain the highest standards of excellence in every detail of the guest experience.

Sustainable Practices

We are profoundly committed to preserving Sri Lanka's natural beauty. We champion eco-friendly operations that minimize our footprint and protect the delicate ecosystems we call home.

Growing with Our Community

We believe that true luxury is inseparable from responsibility. Our commitment to Sri Lanka extends beyond our properties and into the heart of the local communities. We are proud to foster a symbiotic relationship where our growth directly contributes to the prosperity of the villages that surround us.

  • Sourcing Locally

    Our kitchens are stocked with fresh vegetables, fruits, and produce purchased directly from local farmers and vendors, ensuring authentic, farm-to-table flavours for our guests while supporting the village economy.

  • Hiring Locally

    We prioritize hiring our staff from the local villages, providing stable employment opportunities and empowering our neighbours. Their genuine warmth and deep-rooted knowledge of the area are an invaluable part of the Governor's Collection experience.
