From tea fields to a trail of luxury resorts with Malik J. Fernando, Managing Director of Resplendent Ceylon

Malik Fernando is a Director of MJF Holdings & Dilmah Tea,
established by Merrill J Fernando, his father. Dilmah Tea, named
after Merrill’s two sons Dilhan and Malik, was the first producer
owned tea brand, offering tea ‘picked, perfected and packed’ at
origin. Malik is also the Managing Director of Resplendent
Ceylon, the first Sri Lankan luxury resort brand. Resplendent
Ceylon is developing a collection of small, luxury resorts
offering travellers a remarkable circuit across Sri Lanka, with a
range of authentic experiences, while contributing towards local
communities and the environment through the MJF Foundation &
Dilmah Conservation. The iconic Ceylon Tea Trails in the tea
carpeted Central Highlands, Cape Weligama a cliff top beach
resort in the island south and Wild Coast Tented Lodge a safari
lodge, are all members of Relais & Chateaux. Three more
resorts are under development to complete the Sri Lankan journey.
Today I am speaking with Malik about the destination Sri Lanka,
the challenges and opportunities for Resplendent Ceylon and what
luxury means for the travelers post COVID-19 and for Malik
himself.
