About Aloy Silk Gardens
Aloy Silk Gardens (Pvt) Ltd is Sri Lanka's pioneering silk textile tourism destination, nestled in the heart of the lush Central Province. We bridge the gap between traditional craftsmanship and modern tourism, offering visitors an immersive journey through the world of silk.
Our unique concept allows guests to witness the complete silk production process—from our sustainable mulberry gardens to the skilled hands of master weavers at their looms. We're more than a destination; we're a living museum, workshop, and cultural experience all woven into one.
Through interactive demonstrations, hands-on workshops, and authentic cultural encounters, we bring the ancient art of silk weaving to life while supporting local artisan communities and preserving Sri Lanka's rich textile heritage.
Our Journey Through Time
The Foundation
Aloy Silk Gardens was founded by M.P. Aloysius Pillai and a group of passionate travelers and textile enthusiasts with a shared dream to connect the world with Sri Lanka's vibrant silk weaving heritage.
Growth & Expansion
From our first curated tours through Sri Lanka's handloom villages, we grew into a global movement celebrating textile heritage, partnering with numerous artisan communities and hosting thousands of international visitors.
Leading Textile Tourism
Today, Aloy Silk Gardens is a leading textile tourism company offering curated experiences that blend travel, education, and cultural immersion. We continue to innovate while staying true to our roots in traditional silk craftsmanship.
"We didn't just want people to see textiles—we wanted them to feel the soul behind the stitch."

Nestled in the heart of Sri Lanka's lush Central Province, our gardens and workshops offer visitors a rare opportunity to witness the journey of silk from cocoon to couture.
Our mission is twofold: to elevate Sri Lanka's silk industry to global prominence, and to create a sustainable tourism model that empowers local artisans, preserves traditional techniques, and celebrates the island's rich textile legacy.
