Sri Lanka will appear on a new round-the-world private jet itinerary from Four Seasons in 2028, with a visit to a private cinnamon estate as the island’s stop.
The journey, called “Coastlines & Culture”, runs from 6 to 26 May 2028 and travels from San Francisco to the English countryside with stops across Asia, Africa, the Middle East and the south of France, the Daily Mirror reported, carrying a Travel Weekly report.
The route
Guests depart San Francisco and cross the Pacific to Seoul, where the itinerary includes a visit to Jingwansa Temple, then on to Hangzhou for a private experience with tea masters at the Meijuawu tea plantation and a day trip to Shanghai.
Sri Lanka follows, with the cinnamon estate visit. From there the route continues to Zanzibar, then Sharm El Sheikh, Cap-Ferrat on the French Riviera, and finally Hampshire, where the programme includes access to Hampton Court Palace.
The aircraft and the operation
Four Seasons Private Jet Experiences use a custom-configured Airbus A321neo-LR seating 48 travellers. The aircraft is operated by Titan Airways, and the journeys are operated and sold by TCS World Travel. A dedicated team travels with guests, including a concierge, an executive chef and a journey physician.
Several Four Seasons properties appear on a private jet itinerary for the first time on this route, among them the group’s San Francisco and Hampshire hotels, its Hangzhou and Sharm El Sheikh resorts, and the soon-to-open Four Seasons Resort Zanzibar.
Four 2027 itineraries — International Intrigue, New World Icons, World of Adventures and Ancient Explorer — are listed as having limited seats remaining.
Update — 14 November: the Sri Lankan leg, priced and dated
EconomyNext filed its own report later on 14 November, answering most of the questions this article had listed as unanswered. The paragraphs below replace that earlier note, which said no price had been given and that no independent Sri Lankan coverage existed. Both statements are now out of date.
Guests spend three nights in Sri Lanka, from 12 to 15 May 2028. Because Four Seasons operates no hotel in the country, travellers stay at Cape Weligama, an independent property selected for the stop, EconomyNext reported.
On the Sri Lankan leg, guests visit a private Ceylon cinnamon estate to see how the spice is harvested and processed into quills and oil, followed by lunch overlooking the hills. Optional excursions include elephants at Udawalawe National Park, a private flight to Dambulla and Sigiriya, or a tour of Galle Fort with an arrack tasting.
The journey is priced from US$238,000 per person on double occupancy, with a single supplement of US$23,800.
“Curating a new Private Jet itinerary requires immense thought and care,” said Marc Speichert, Four Seasons’ executive vice-president and chief commercial officer. “With Coastlines & Culture, we’re able to bring together destinations rarely experienced within a single journey, creating moments of awe and discovery.”
EconomyNext reports this is the first time Sri Lanka has been picked as a stop on a Four Seasons Private Jet Experience.
One figure the two filings disagree on
The Daily Mirror’s account dates the journey 6 to 26 May 2028, a span of 21 days; EconomyNext calls it a 23-day journey in May 2028. The Sri Lankan leg of 12–15 May sits inside both windows, and neither filing explains the difference. It is left unresolved here.
Still not established
Neither filing names the cinnamon estate or its location, says which airport the aircraft uses, or carries any comment from Sri Lankan tourism authorities. Both ultimately rest on the company’s own announcement rather than independent reporting.
Cinnamon is one of Sri Lanka’s signature export crops, and estate visits have become a fixture of high-end itineraries on the island’s southwest coast.
