Sri Lanka is experiencing an impressive comeback as a luxury destination. After years of restrained tourism, the “Pearl of the Indian Ocean” has reclaimed its place on the map of discerning travelers in 2025 – with new boutique resorts, sustainable luxury projects, and an excellent tourism infrastructure.
Those traveling to Sri Lanka by private jet benefit not only from maximum comfort but also from tailored flexibility upon arrival, during transfers, and when traveling on to the island’s most exclusive locations.
