A boutique studio of island storytellers.
Founded 2012
More than a tour — a passage.
Elegant Island Tours was founded by Aravind Perera, a third-generation islander who began his career chauffeuring writers and photographers around hidden coastal roads. What grew from those early drives is today a boutique studio of guides, drivers, naturalists and chefs.
We believe travel should feel personal, unhurried and slightly secret. Every itinerary we craft is built around your pace — the temples you linger in, the meals that pull you back for seconds, the views that finally make you stop talking.
Our Values
What guides us.
Local at Heart
Every guide is born of the islands we explore. Their stories cannot be Googled.
Boutique by Design
We host fewer than 600 guests a year. Each itinerary is crafted, not assembled.
Quietly Luxurious
From the vehicles to the private lunches, comfort is felt — never announced.
