GLOCAL

After traveling the world, learning about cultures, discovering new flavors, we decided that Sri Lanka would be our new home. Casa Tikiri is us. A mix of Italian and Sri Lankan culture, combined with all that we appreciated, enjoyed and learned during our travels.

The term "glocal" is a fusion of the words "global" and "local" and represents the idea of thinking globally and acting locally. In the tourism context, the concept of glocal means offering visitors an experience that combines international standards of comfort and quality with the authenticity and unique traditions of local culture.

Our Philosophy

Design and Furniture

Casa Tikiri integrates design and furnishings that reflect international standards of luxury and comfort, but with a local touch. Most of our furnishings are restored antique pieces. Lamps, chairs, and mirrors are handmade from local cane by artisans in our village, and traditional decorations reflect Sri Lankan crafts and culture.

Cuisine and Gastronomy

Our menu combines international dishes with local specialties. We use fresh, locally sourced ingredients to provide a unique and authentic dining experience.

Service and Hospitality

We strive to blend professionalism and attention to detail of the highest international standards with warm and genuine local hospitality, creating a cozy and familiar environment where every guest can feel truly special.

Sustainability and Social Responsibility

Casa Tikiri integrates sustainable practices that respect the local environment and support the surrounding community. This includes adopting policies to reduce environmental impact and implementing social responsibility initiatives that aim to create employment opportunities for families in our village, thus directly contributing to the well-being of local people.

Experiences and Activities

We offer guests suggestions for authentic experiences to explore craft traditions or local festivals, allowing them to immerse themselves in the most authentic Sri Lankan culture.

SUSTAINABLE

We try to do our best every day.

We limit the use of plastic

We adopt policies to reduce the use of plastic in all its forms, promoting the use of alternative and sustainable materials wherever possible.

We avoid disposables

Therefore, our guests will not find disposable kits in rooms and other areas of the hotel. We support a more sustainable, plastic-free environment.

We produce hot water with solar panels

We use solar energy to heat water, reducing the use of non-renewable resources.

We use sustainable lighting

Only LED bulbs and solar or rechargeable decorative lamps.

We optimize resources and reduce waste

We adopt practices that maximize efficiencies and minimize waste in all hotel operations.

We educate staff and raise awareness among guests

We train staff in a more sustainable lifestyle and encourage guests to do the same.

We promote a circular economy

The bags and scrunchie from Casa Tikiri are made using waste fabrics bought by the kilo, discarded by local factories that produce clothing for the most famous international brands. We select and purchase waste fabrics that are then processed into Tikiri Bags and Tikiri Scrunchie by our village seamstresses. In this way we support the local economy and promote recycling.

Our goal is not only to reduce the environmental impact of Casa Tikiri, but to inspire our guests to live more sustainably during their stay and beyond.

ADULTS ONLY

Casa Tikiri is an "adults only" hotel, which means that our facility is exclusively for adults. This creates a serene and relaxing environment, perfect for those seeking a break from the daily hustle and bustle.

Choosing to be an "adults only" hotel allows us to offer a unique andtailoredexperience. We want every guest to feel pampered and to be able to enjoy their stay in total peace, without interruption.

 

Why choose an Adults Only hotel?

  • Peace and quiet: without the presence of children, the atmosphere is more peaceful and quiet, ideal for those who wish to relax completely.

  • Total relaxation: common areas, such as the pool and restaurant, are designed to provide maximum comfort and privacy for adults.

  • Refined experiences: activities and services offered are designed to meet the needs of adults, with a focus on high-quality experiences.

Who can stay?

We accept guests 18 years and older. Whether you are looking for a romantic getaway, a spa vacation, or just a place to relax, Casa Tikiri is the perfect choice.

DOLCE FAR NIENTE

The "Dolce far niente" is an Italian expression meaning "the sweetness of doing nothing." It is the art of enjoying leisure time without worries, appreciating the pleasure of relaxation and tranquility. Our mission is to create unforgettable memories. Casa Tikiri is not just a 'hotel' but a place to discover Sri Lanka, live slowly and appreciate the little things and moments of dolce far niente. 

Casa Tikiri is a place to come back to relax after a day of exploring or to spend a full day recharging. We want to be able to provide our guests with the tranquility and privacy they deserve. That is why we have opted for a Guests Only policy. Access to the pool and restaurant during the day is restricted to hotel guests only.

 If you need to unplug, all you need to do is make a reservation.
