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.

The Cinnamon Story

"For uncounted centuries they came from the four corners of the globe…braving treacherous oceans and cruel currents… howling hurricanes and turbulent tempests…

They arrived on the golden beaches of our magical, lush Island of Ceylon in graceful Galleons, Majestic Chinese Junks and sleek Arabian Dhows. They came in search of the most enchanted, fabulous spices in the world. Those who arrived were the emissaries of Roman Caesars, Egyptian Pharaohs and Chinese Emperors. Who prized and treasured True Ceylon Cinnamon and other spices from our Island for Its unique, enticing aroma, delectable flavor and multiple medicinal qualities.

True Cinnamon and other spices which are indigenous to the bewitchingly beautiful Island Nation of Sri Lanka, which has been legendary for its Cinnamon for well over 2000 years. Wars have been fought …the country has been occupied (never conquered) by the Portuguese, Dutch and British primarily because of our spices and mainly because of our Cinnamon. Find out the secret of True Ceylon Cinnamon & other spices…savor the irresistible, indescribable aroma, taste and flavor of these valuable spices today!"

Top House is a beautiful, working cinnamon estate of 25 acres, just inland from Weligama; 6km from the Expressway and a few minutes from the Galle – Tangalle coastal road.

The resident British owners have restored the plantation and now produce true Ceylon cinnamon, which grows on the steep slopes of a high hill. The plantation house is perched on the hilltop with spectacular views over the jungle to the north and the Indian Ocean to the south. The owners have also built an artisan distillery where they extract pure cinnamon leaf oil according to age-old techniques fine-tuned with modern technology.

We join the owner of Top House Cinnamon Planation Rupert on a tour of the estate and it’s Cinnamon Experience.
