About Us

Where Every Journey Leaves a Little Piece in Your Heart
About Us

Heart Attached Holidays was born in 1999 from a genuine passion for Sri Lanka.

While working and living in the Middle East, our founders found themselves sharing stories of their homeland with colleagues and friends, its breathtaking landscapes, rich culture, warm hospitality and remarkable diversity. At the same time, they recognised an opportunity to offer discerning travelers a higher standard of personalised, seamless and impeccably curated experiences in Sri Lanka.

And so, Heart Attached Holidays began.

Founded by professionally qualified Chartered Accountants with an entrepreneurial spirit and a deep love for their island home, the company started modestly through friends, personal connections and word of mouth.

A Global Understanding of Travelers

One of the greatest strengths we bring to our work is our understanding of people and cultures from around the world.

Before establishing Heart Attached Holidays, our founders lived and worked in the Middle East for nearly two decades. During those years, they had the privilege of interacting professionally and personally with more than 100 nationalities, gaining first-hand exposure to different cultures, traditions, lifestyles, tastes and expectations.
This experience gave our founders an appreciation that every traveler is different. What feels familiar and comfortable to one nationality may be completely different for another. Understanding these nuances is essential when creating a truly personalised holiday.

That understanding has continued to grow throughout our 25+ years in the travel industry journey. Over the years, we have welcomed and looked after travelers from numerous countries and cultures across Europe, Asia, Africa, the Middle East, the Far East and the rest of the world. Every interaction has further enriched our knowledge of different nationalities, their travel styles, cultural sensitivities, interests, culinary preferences and expectations.
As a result, we do not approach travel with a one-size-fits-all philosophy.

We listen, understand and personalise.

Whether our guests are travelling from Europe, Asia, Africa, the Middle East, the Far East or any other part of the world, we strive to understand what matters to them and thoughtfully incorporate their individual preferences into their Sri Lankan experience.

Particular Understanding of Middle Eastern Travellers

Our long association with the Middle East has given us especially strong insight into the region’s cultures and travel preferences.

We understand the importance of family-oriented travel, privacy, personalised hospitality and culturally appropriate experiences. We also have extensive understanding of Halal tourism and Muslim travelers’ dietary and meal preferences, which are incorporated into our travel planning wherever required.

From selecting appropriate dining options and Halal-friendly experiences to considering cultural preferences and practical requirements, we aim to ensure that our Middle Eastern guests can explore Sri Lanka comfortably, confidently and with complete peace of mind.
At the same time, our understanding is not limited to any one region or nationality. Our experience with travelers from around the globe enables us to appreciate and accommodate the wonderful diversity of our international guests.

Different cultures. Different preferences. One commitment: to understand and care for every traveller.

From a Passionate Beginning to a Premium DMC

What began as a small venture among friends has grown over the years into a respected boutique, premium Destination Management Company specialising in Sri Lanka and the Maldives.

Our journey has been driven by continuous improvement. We have continually refined our processes, strengthened our partnerships and raised our standards to deliver exceptional experiences, personalised service and outstanding value.

For more than 25 years, we have had the privilege of turning our knowledge of Sri Lanka into meaningful journeys for travellers from around the world.

Travel & Luxury, From the Heart

At Heart Attached Holidays, we believe a truly memorable holiday should feel effortless.

From the moment you arrive, our aim is to take care of the details so you can simply relax, explore and immerse yourself in the journey.

Whether you are looking for an indulgent luxury escape, an authentic cultural adventure, a romantic getaway, a family holiday or a carefully curated journey, every itinerary is designed around you.

We combine our intimate knowledge of Sri Lanka with carefully selected experiences, trusted partners and attentive personal service.

Our promise is simple: you travel with peace of mind, knowing you are in caring and capable hands.

And our commitment to personal service goes beyond planning your holiday.

Whenever possible, our founders personally make the effort to meet our guests upon arrival or before departure. For us, this is much more than a courtesy. It is a personal expression of our appreciation and respect for every client who has chosen Heart Attached Holidays.

After all, behind every booking is a person or family who has placed their trust in us. We believe that trust should be acknowledged personally.

Responsible Travel, Meaningful Impact

We believe that exceptional travel should also leave a positive footprint.

Our commitment to sustainable tourism means treating our guests, partners, employees, communities and environment with equal respect.

Wherever possible, we support local communities and less-privileged groups, work with responsible partners and incorporate hybrid and electric vehicles into our operations to help reduce emissions and our carbon footprint.
For us, sustainability is not simply a policy. It is part of our responsibility to Sri Lanka and to the generations that will inherit this beautiful island.

Our Promise to Every Guest

Whether your journey is carefully planned around a budget or designed as a once-in-a-lifetime luxury experience, every guest matters to us equally.

We do not measure our guests by the size of their holiday, but by the trust they place in us.
Our founders’ promise remains at the heart of the business:
Every client will be treated with respect, dignity and genuine care, regardless of nationality, background or travel budget.

We strive to deliver the value our guests deserve, remove unnecessary hassles and ensure that every traveler can experience Sri Lanka with confidence, comfort and peace of mind.

Most importantly, we want our guests to return home with more than photographs and souvenirs.
We want them to take home memories, meaningful experiences and a little piece of Sri Lanka in their hearts.
The trust and appreciation of our past travelers, together with our many 5-star reviews on TripAdvisor and other social platforms, are a testament to the service we strive to deliver every day.

Come as a Traveller. Leave with Your Heart Attached.

Sri Lanka is more than a destination. It is a feeling.

For more than 25 years, we have had the privilege of introducing travellers from around the world to the island we love.

From Europe to Asia, Africa to the Middle East, the Far East and beyond, we welcome every nationality with the same warmth, respect and commitment.

Our global experience has taught us that while cultures, tastes and traditions may differ, every traveler wants to feel understood, valued and well cared for.

Understand every traveller.
Respect every culture.
Personalise every journey.
Create memories that last a lifetime.
