At Home with Luxury Dream Holidays: Episode Five – Sri Lanka with Authenticities

Claire came home from Sri Lanka talking about the people she'd met, the incredible food, and one particularly memorable pineapple curry. She also came home with a huge appreciation for the people who had made those experiences possible.

For our latest At Home with Luxury Dream Holidays, we're actually in London! Claire caught up with Dilshad Sadiq, Vice President of Authenticities, the wonderful team she travelled with during her time in Sri Lanka.

It's a lovely conversation about what goes into creating a genuinely personal holiday. From taking the time to understand each traveller before an itinerary is put together, to finding the right local guides, beautiful smaller hotels and experiences that visitors might otherwise never come across.

They also talk about the Sri Lanka that Claire fell in love with: cooking with local families, discovering the countryside, meeting people along the way, and the importance of supporting the communities that welcome us.

If Sri Lanka has been on your wish list, this episode is well worth a watch. And if you've never considered it before, you might be surprised by just how much there is to experience.

Watch Claire and Dilshad's conversation below.
