Environment-friendly Farming
Sustainable Farming
At Scottish Planter, we wholeheartedly embrace the concept of Integrated Farm Management, a comprehensive and environmentally friendly approach to agriculture. Our commitment to this practice includes efficient soil management, responsible cultivation techniques, and crop rotations to maintain soil health. We prioritize the minimum use of crop protection chemicals and fertilizers, ensuring the production of fresh and wholesome food items for our guests.
Beyond sustainable farming, we take pride in maintaining the landscape and supporting rural communities, fostering a harmonious coexistence with nature. Our dedication extends to enhancing wildlife habitats and promoting biodiversity. We believe that teamwork, driven by open communication, continuous training, and active involvement, is the foundation for success in achieving our sustainable goals.
By adhering to Integrated Farm Management, we not only serve our guests with the finest and freshest produce but also contribute to a healthier planet for current and future generations. We invite our guests to savor the flavors of nature, knowing that their dining experience aligns with our profound commitment to environmental stewardship and community well-being.
Green Moments in Every Square
Sustainability at Thema Digital Space
Have you ever wondered why hundreds of wild elephants gather at Minneriya every year? 🐘🌿
It all begins with the dry season.
From July to September, the waters of the ancient Minneriya Tank gradually start to dry up, revealing fresh green grass that elephants love to feed on. One by one, herds emerge from the surrounding forests until the grasslands are home to one of the largest gatherings of wild Asian elephants anywhere in the world.
It`s not a migration, it`s nature following a rhythm that has existed for centuries.
Experience this unforgettable moment with our naturalists at Aliya Resort & Spa by Thema Collection. Go beyond the safari as they share the fascinating stories, behaviours, and conservation significance behind the Elephant Gathering, making your journey through Minneriya National Park even more meaningful.

Last month, our resort manager, Jeewanthi Adhikari, naturalist, Sithumi Devindi, and maintenance executive, Samadhi Dasanayaka from Amba Yaalu Kandalama had the opportunity to take part in the Women in Travel Collective Members` Day as speakers under the theme "Women Driving Change in Hospitality."
Listening to them share their journeys, experiences, and the paths that brought them to where they are today was a proud moment for all of us. Their stories reflected the passion, resilience, and dedication that so many women bring to this industry every day.
A heartfelt thank you to the @womenintravelcollective for creating this space and for inviting our team to be part of such a meaningful conversation.

Protecting the environment goes beyond a single action. Our team at Maalu Maalu Resort and Spa cleaned the shores of Elephant Rock for World Ocean Day, removing over 15 kg of waste from the coastal environment, we also engaged with the students of Nagamal College, Kalkudah, through a Climate Change awareness programme focused on the challenges facing our planet and the role each of us can play in creating change.
Because lasting impact comes from both caring for the environment today and empowering future generations to do the same.
