    They arrived on the golden beaches of our magical, lush Island of Ceylon in graceful Galleons, Majestic Chinese Junks and sleek Arabian Dhows.

    Top House is a beautiful, working cinnamon estate of 25 acres, just inland from Weligama; 6km from the Expressway and a few minutes from the Galle – Tangalle coastal road.


    The resident British owners have restored the plantation and now produce true Ceylon cinnamon, which grows on the steep slopes of a high hill. The plantation house is perched on the hilltop with spectacular views over the jungle to the north and the Indian Ocean to the south. The owners have also built an artisan distillery where they extract pure cinnamon leaf oil according to age-old techniques fine-tuned with modern technology.

  • Inner Peace Through Meditation

    Dr. Vipula Wanigasekera was in spiritual studies for over three decades in Sri Lanka and overseas. He is former Sri Lankan Diplomat and Director General of Sri Lanka Tourism Authority. He is currently a Senior Lecturer for Edith Cowan University in Perth and Colombo.

    After launching his book ‘Pointers to Enlightenment’ he started offering meditation sessions for tourists on the theme that ‘Truth is Simple, and it is too simple why most people cannot grasp’. His one-hour discourse and meditation explains how human suffering, be it stress, anxiety, worry, fear, or anger apart from inevitable aging, sicknesses and foreseeable death can ignite an inquiry with an inward journey into self. That search, if one keeps all options open without prejudice, may encounter perhaps with a surprise, what is looked for, has never been outside ‘WHAT IS’.

  • Architecture in the Crossroads of History

    A conversation about architecture on the island of SriLanka which has Long been a important crossroad in the Indian Ocean trade routes. We delve in to tracing the influences and ideas that made Sri Lankan architecture from the ancient and medieval to the colonial and modern.

    We look back at the life and work of a great Sri Lankan architect, protagonist Geoffrey Bawa, was among the most influential creatives of his generation, designing not only buildings, but spatial experiences. His name will forever be associated with Tropical Modernism, a movement which looks to construct with space rather than in space. Within the extreme climate of his homeland, wild, invasive vegetation and native tradition are mixed with the colonial footprints left throughout the years by various cultures: the very same elements that animate a rich oeuvre of immersive and sensorial architectures inseparable from the tropical landscapes that envelop them.

About Podcasts

From the publisher's feed

Ten years ago, an idea was born. It's only mandate was to cater to a lacuna in luxury travel, a space that was hitherto unoccupied. We felt the time was ripe to introduce a flavor of travel that encompasses the soul of a destination and new travel perspectives. To this was added the blend of luxury travel and impeccable service that would be bespoke and highly personalized. Thus was born Authenticities.
