About Us

Why CHOOSE US?

Gemofio, meaning Gem of the Indian Ocean, is a tribute to Sri Lanka’s extraordinary beauty, rich culture and warm-hearted people. Our founder, Divya Arulpragasam Malcolm, began his journey in the travel industry 10 years ago, starting as a reservation specialist in Colombo. Those early years were his classroom, where he learned not just the logistics of travel but the rhythm and soul of Sri Lankan hospitality.
