About Stemish Travels

Our Origins and Story

Born from a passion for Sri Lanka's hidden gems and a commitment to genuine hospitality, Stemish Travels began as a local dream and has grown into a trusted guide for travelers seeking authentic island experiences.

STEMISH TRAVELS Sri Lanka.

The name Stemish originates from the combination of two lovely names, belonging to two blessed young girls aged 11 and 8 back then, who have now blossomed into two remarkable young women contributing significantly to society each in their distinct way.

When the father-son duo decided to establish this boutique travel agency in 2012, they drew motivation from the duo of Stephanie and Michelle, forming a unique and innovative name, Stemish Travels.

This name was a tribute to their daughter and grand-daughter, reflecting over 35 years of collective travel experience gained from serving prominent industry leaders at that time.
