For the second consecutive year, all three Resplendent Ceylon resorts have been awarded the prestigious MICHELIN Key distinctions, retaining six MICHELIN Keys across our collection. To receive these distinctions once is an extraordinary honour. To retain them is a recognition of the consistency, care and dedication that our teams bring to every guest experience, every day. We are immensely proud to see all three of our Relais & Châteaux resorts recognised once again on the global stage, and to represent the best of Sri Lankan hospitality. #ResplendentCeylon #MICHELINKey #CeylonTeaTrails #WildCoastTentedLodge #CapeWeligama #RelaisChateaux #SriLanka

For the second year running, we welcomed students in Grades 7 to 11 from the MJF Centre to Wild Coast Tented Lodge. We look forward to making this an annual tradition. Selected for their knowledge of Yala National Park and its biodiversity, the students spent the day learning how the lodge operates, speaking with our team about careers in conservation, and joining our Rangers on a guided safari. Seeing the landscape they had studied firsthand gave them a chance to connect their classroom learning with the work of protecting Sri Lanka’s natural heritage. #ResplendentCeylon #WildCoastTentedLodge #SriLanka #Yala #RelaisChateaux #MJFCentre #YalaNationalPark #ConservationEducation #FutureConservationists #SriLankanWildlife

Three months into their RACE journey, and already so much to reflect on. Our RACE students recently reconnected with the Chairman and senior leadership team to share their experiences, challenges and key learnings from their first three months at Resplendent Ceylon. The session was an opportunity to recognise their progress, hear how practical exposure has shaped their understanding of luxury hospitality, and discuss the skills and aspirations they hope to develop in the months ahead. More than a milestone, it was a moment to build confidence, exchange perspectives and reinforce the values of learning, service and continuous improvement that shape the Resplendent culture. We look forward to seeing where the next chapter of their journey takes them. #ResplendentCeylon #RACE #HospitalityCareers #LearningAndDevelopment #LuxuryHospitality

From learning a new skill to creating new opportunities. On 14 August, 35 women from the Women’s Development Programme came together at the MJF Centre in Weligama for a hands-on soap-making workshop led by Ravihari from our retail partner, Mineral Earth. The session introduced participants to the process of producing small-scale hotel amenity soaps, covering everything from safe chemical handling and curing to finishing and packaging. To help turn this knowledge into action, we also provided four hand blenders to support the women as they begin their own production. The ambition extends beyond the workshop: to create sustainable income-generating opportunities for these women, with the long-term vision of sourcing amenities for our resorts directly from this community. Skills shared. Opportunities created. Communities empowered. #ResplendentCeylon #MJFCharitableFoundation #WomenEmpowerment #SkillsDevelopment #WomenInBusiness #CommunityDevelopment #ResponsibleTourism #SustainableTourism #EmpoweringCommunities #SriLanka
