Sri Lanka will be included in the prestigious Four Seasons Private Jet Experience for the first time in 2028, with 48 high-end travellers expected to visit the country as part of a 23-day luxury journey costing $238,000 per person.
The exclusive journey will cover eight countries, with guests travelling aboard a specially customised Airbus A321 private jet and staying at luxury properties along the route.
During their visit to Sri Lanka, guests will stay at Cape Weligama, a luxury resort on the country’s southern coast operated by the Resplendent Ceylon hospitality group.
Announcing the development, Malik J. Fernando, Chairman of MJF Leisure and Co-Chairman of MJF Holdings, said the selection of Cape Weligama represented an important recognition for Sri Lanka’s luxury hospitality industry.
“In 2028, the Four Seasons Private Jet will visit Sri Lanka for the first time,” Fernando said in a LinkedIn post.
He said the journey would accommodate 48 guests, each paying $238,000 for the international luxury travel experience.
“For a family-owned hospitality business, it is a privilege to be chosen as the place where Sri Lanka is experienced on a journey of this kind,” Fernando said.
He added that the company looked forward to welcoming the guests to Sri Lanka and the Southern Riviera.
The Four Seasons Private Jet Experience offers luxury travellers curated international itineraries combining private aviation, exclusive accommodation and personalised experiences across multiple destinations.
The 2028 journey, branded Coastlines & Culture, is scheduled to take place from May 4 to 26, with Sri Lanka among its eight destinations.
The Sri Lankan stop is scheduled for May 12 to 15, allowing guests to experience the country’s southern coastline, local culture and hospitality.
The inclusion of Sri Lanka in the itinerary is expected to strengthen the country’s profile as a destination for high-spending international travellers.
However, the $238,000 package price covers the entire international journey and does not represent the amount spent by individual travellers in Sri Lanka.
The development also highlights the growing international recognition of Sri Lankan-owned luxury hospitality brands. (Newswire)
