Our Story
Discover how Savarii was born from a simple vision
What Began as a Casual Afternoon Chat
“What began as a casual afternoon chat between three friends soon grew into a vision: to create a company that celebrates Sri Lanka's soul through immersive, local experiences. That spark of conversation — rooted in friendship, curiosity, and a love for authentic connection — became the foundation of SAVARII. Today, we carry that same spirit forward, inviting both foreigners and locals to discover the island in ways that are meaningful, intimate, and unforgettable.”

"Let's Talk About “Almost a Local"
Yeah, that's our tagline. And no, most brands don't really talk about their taglines… but we're not most brands. 😉
"So what does “Almost a Local” really mean?
It's that cool, in-between vibe—when you're not quite a tourist with a map and a confused look, but you're also not actually from around here.You know enough to order your coffee like a regular, find that hidden beach without Google Maps, and laugh with the shop owner even when you mess up the language.
Youre in on the secrets… but still wide-eyed with wonder. That's the sweet spot. That's the magic. And that's exactly where Savarii lives. We're here to make sure you don't just go places—you get them. So come on. Be almost a local with us. It's way more fun.
We don't sell trips. We create stories. We don't chase tourism. We build friendships that last a lifetime.
