The First Five · Sri Lanka #001
5 nights · Yacht crew · Off rotation
The First Five is a curated 5-night Sri Lanka experience created for yacht crew.
Come with your crew, friends or partner.
Instead of landing and spending your first days organising villas, drivers, food and logistics, your base and core experiences are already taken care of.
You arrive. You settle in. You enjoy it.
Why Sri Lanka?
Surf in the morning. Safari in the wild. Slow afternoons by the pool. Sri Lanka gives you adventure when you want it, stillness when you need it, with an entire island to explore when your First Five are over.
What is taken care of
We’ve already thought about the things you shouldn’t have to think about on your time off.
Where you land, and everything around it.
The moments you'll still be talking about on board.
Time to actually slow down.
Wellness comes to you.
Massage and Ayurvedic treatments arranged in the privacy of your villa.
Local support
Need something while you're there? There's someone to turn to.
Less organising. More being there.
Your turn
You spend your season learning everyone else’s preferences. Now we want to know yours.
Tell us who’s coming, how you like to travel and what matters to you. We’ll take care of the details.
Your preference sheet becomes your First Five enquiry. No booking is made at this stage. The First Five is created in collaboration with Palmaer Travel, who handle booking, payment and travel arrangements. Yacht Pathway curates and introduces the experience.
Optional add-ons
Your First Five includes the curated core above. Optional experiences and extras can be added at additional cost.
Beyond your First Five
The rest is yours
Your First Five is designed as an extraordinary start, not a script for the rest of your trip. Head for the hills, find another beach, slow things down. Another side of Sri Lanka is waiting.
Partnership
Malin knows the crew. Ida knows the island.
After years in yachting, Malin knows what time off means when you’ve spent a season taking care of everyone else. Ida’s Sri Lankan roots and years of creating journeys across the island bring the local knowledge.
Want to stay longer?
The First Five is created with Palmaer Travel. To extend your stay or explore more of the island, Ida, our Sri Lanka specialist, can help shape the rest.
