Ten years ago, an idea was born. It's only mandate was to cater to a lacuna in luxury travel, a space that was hitherto unoccupied. We felt the time was ripe to introduce a flavor of travel that encompasses the soul of a destination and new travel perspectives. To this was added the blend of luxury travel and impeccable service that would be bespoke and highly personalized. Thus was born Authenticities. We wanted to showcase the best that Sri Lanka has to offer, but doing it in our unique style -creating innovative and authentic experiences.
