About Moi Hotels
Moi Hotels is a boutique hotel collection in Sri Lanka by DBI Ceylon — daringly local stays rooted in place, people, and genuine hospitality.
At Moi, everything begins with you
Moi means “me” in many languages. The name is a reminder that every stay is personal: intimate rooms, island-inspired cooking, and hosts who know the neighbourhood. We design for curious travellers who want Sri Lanka as it is lived — not a generic resort template.
Restoration & soul
Moi Hotels was established in 2010 by DBI Ceylon Pvt Ltd. For more than a decade we have been curating stylish stays across iconic Sri Lankan settings — fort townhouses, south-coast beaches, hill country, and the Cultural Triangle.
Each property is crafted with a commitment to restoration, incomparable attention to detail, exceptional island-inspired cuisine, and a passion for sharing experiences that connect you to the island.
What we stand for
Daringly local
We work with Sri Lankan makers, kitchens, and neighbourhoods. The island is the brief — not an afterthought.
Restoration first
Historic buildings and characterful sites are cared for, not overwritten. Patina, craft, and place come before trends.
Island cuisine
Menus lean on local produce, spices, and the day’s catch. Dining is part of the stay, not a side note.
Experiences that belong
Workations, cooking and culture, yoga and mindfulness — curated so you can actually live the destination.
Our collections
Five stays, one story
Design-led boutique hotels in Galle Fort, Ella, Talpe, Induruwa, and Dambulla — united under one daringly local brand.
