Pineapple Press is an independent publication covering contemporary Sri Lanka – its people, places, culture, food, travel, design and ideas. We connect travellers and residents with the very best of Sri Lanka – from boutique hotels and new restaurants to local experiences, hidden gems, and independent designers.
Founded in 2024, Pineapple Press blends independent journalism, curated travel content, and on-the-ground storytelling to highlight the people and places shaping Sri Lanka’s most vibrant regions.
We celebrate the spirit, creativity, and diversity of Sri Lanka.
Pineapple Press is powered by a small team of writers, photographers, and tourism specialists living in Sri Lanka. Our work is a blend of editorial passion, industry expertise, and a deep love for Sri Lanka.

We want to make Sri Lanka easier to understand, explore and connect with – whether you live here, visit regularly or are planning your first trip.
Our aim is to:
- Tell interesting stories about Sri Lanka’s people, places and ideas
- Support independent businesses, creatives and communities
- Give readers useful, well-curated recommendations
- Cover tourism thoughtfully and critically
- Champion businesses and initiatives doing interesting and responsible work
- Look beyond the obvious and introduce readers to a more contemporary Sri Lanka
