Whittalls Travels is a long‑established destination management company in Sri Lanka, known for designing tailor‑made and mostly luxury itineraries for inbound travelers. Operating since the early 1990s, the company has built a strong reputation as a specialist for Sri Lanka rather than a multi‑country operator. It is part of the Whittalls Boustead Travel group, which sits within John Keells Holdings, one of Sri Lanka’s leading conglomerates.
The company works closely with major international travel brands, most notably Kuoni, acting as a trusted local partner for many of its Sri Lanka programs, particularly for European markets. This long‑term collaboration reflects Whittalls Travels’ deep local knowledge, operational reliability, and ability to deliver consistently high service standards for discerning travelers.
Whittalls Travels creates customized journeys that blend culture, nature, and coastal experiences, from ancient cities and tea country to wildlife parks and beach retreats. Services typically include hotel arrangements, private transport with experienced chauffeur‑guides, safaris, scenic train journeys, and curated excursions. The focus is on private, personalized travel, with classic itineraries often linking Colombo, the Cultural Triangle, the Hill Country, national parks, and the southern coast.
