Ceylon Roots — your gateway to authentic Sri Lanka.
Ceylon Roots is the official travel partner of TFS Loyalty — the destination management company that designs every Sri Lankan journey for our members. A subsidiary of Browns Investments PLC, the same group that owns Browns Hotels & Resorts, Ceylon Roots gives you one trusted hand on the wheel from your Australian departure to touchdown in Colombo and your final sunset in Galle.
Why Aussies should let Ceylon Roots design their Sri Lankan holiday.
Most travellers book a Sri Lanka holiday by stitching together hotels, a driver from a hotel desk, day-tour vouchers from the lobby, and a rushed safari. They miss most of what makes Sri Lanka the most beautiful holiday destination in the world.
Ceylon Roots is different. It is a full-service destination management company built by the people who own the hotels, the resorts and the safari lodges. Same parent company — Browns Investments PLC — same standard of service, one bill, one consultant, one phone number.
Think of it as the difference between booking a Whitsundays trip yourself versus having a Hayman Island concierge design it for you. Only here, the concierge is local, the seafood is wild, and the bill comes in TFS Credits.

Four ways to spend two weeks in Sri Lanka.
Each itinerary is fully customisable — these are the starting points. Your TFS membership manager and Ceylon Roots will tailor the rest.
Travel that gives back to the island.
Ceylon Roots reinvests in the communities, ecosystems and craftspeople behind every journey.
Sourcing from villages — handlooms, lacquerwork, batik, woodcraft.
Sponsoring rural schools and scholarships in destinations we operate.
Reforestation and biodiversity protection across hotel sites.
Eliminating single-use plastic from every Ceylon Roots journey.
Discovering the uniqueness of Sri Lanka — since the LOLC family began.
Ceylon Roots sits inside Browns Investments PLC, part of the 150-year-old LOLC Group — one of Sri Lanka's largest conglomerates and the parent company of Browns Hotels & Resorts, the hotel group at the heart of the TFS Loyalty Program.
That means when your TFS membership manager calls Ceylon Roots to design your trip, they are calling colleagues. Same group. Same standards. Same long-term reputation to protect. The driver who picks you up from Colombo Airport works for the same family who owns the hotel you're driving to.
For Aussie travellers, that single point of accountability is rare in Asia. It's why we chose them.
