Extraordinary journeys through Sri Lanka and the Maldives, designed for those who travel with intention.
Exemplary Voyages was founded in 2016 on a single conviction: that Sri Lanka deserves to be experienced with the depth it commands. Not checked off a list, but understood: its light, its rhythm, its silence.
Every journey we design is an act of authorship. We curate fewer options, chosen with exacting care. Every hotel, every guide, every hour earns its place in your story.
From Sigiriya's lion rock to the moon washed temples of Polonnaruwa, a journey into the island's regal soul.
Through emerald plantations, mist wrapped train journeys and colonial bungalows above the clouds.
Dutch canals, Kandyan kingdoms, Lipton's Seat and the finest fort in Asia. Ceylon's colonial heritage, unhurried.
The complete Sri Lanka — ancient kingdoms, hill country tea, the leopard plains of Yala and the southern coast.
Leopards at dawn in Yala, the Minneriya elephant gathering and glamping camps in the heart of the wild.
UNESCO fortresses, a secret highland viewpoint, leopards at dawn in Yala, and the coral streets of Galle.
The essential Sri Lanka in eight days — Sigiriya, the scenic hill country train, Yala leopards and Galle Fort.
Fifteen days of expert birding across Sri Lanka's wetlands, cloud forests, national parks and the Sinharaja rainforest.
Sigiriya and the Minneriya elephants, the east coast beaches, the hill country train to Ella, Yala and Galle Fort.
Colombo by vintage Land Rover, the cultural triangle, the legendary train to Ella, Yala and the southern coast.
Nineteen days through Sri Lanka's most distinguished properties — from The Walawwa to Nine Skies Ella and Kumu Beach.
Seven nights at a private beachfront villa. Two private whale-watching sailings, Handunugoda Tea Estate and Galle Fort.
A private beachfront villa, a Kandyan ceremony, sunset safaris and a honeymoon extension to the Maldives.
Every journey we craft begins with a conversation, not a catalogue.
View All JourneysSustainability is not a feature we add to our journeys. It is the foundation from which every journey begins. From the guides we choose to the properties we endorse, every decision reflects our commitment to these islands' futures.
Our Commitment →We partner with locally owned properties and community guides to ensure tourism strengthens the communities it visits, not just the destinations.
We design itineraries that minimise environmental impact through smaller groups, slower travel and a deeper connection with each place.
We work with reef conservation projects across the Maldives to protect the underwater world we showcase to every guest who visits.
We travel with the permission of the places we visit; honouring customs, traditions and sacred spaces as essential parts of every itinerary.
"We are particularly grateful to our guide, Aruna, for his professionalism and his kindness. By leading us on this journey, he helped us discover a magnificent and endearing country, making this experience a memorable one. A perfectly organized and easy stay with unique hotels. Our best visits/activities: Dambulla cave temples, treks in nature, breathtaking landscapes, flying Ravana, cooking a curry in a village garden, train journey between Kandy and Ella, elephant orphanage, crossing paths with wild elephants in different places."
We do not believe in catalogue travel. Every Exemplary Voyages itinerary begins with your story and ends with one you will tell for years to come.
