Luxury Voices 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.
