Sri Lanka Specialist
Sri Lanka has long been one of the destinations closest to Ida Ohlsson and Palmaer Travel.

From boutique beach stays and tea country retreats to cultural journeys and family travel, every itinerary is designed personally around each traveller.

Each journey is designed individually with a strong focus on atmosphere, flow, comfort and meaningful experiences.
Founded by Ida Ohlsson
Palmaer Travel was created from a belief that travel should feel personal, thoughtful and naturally balanced from beginning to end.
We believe the most meaningful journeys are not the ones where you see the most, but the ones where you feel the most while travelling.
Rather than rushing between places, the focus is on creating journeys with flow, atmosphere and meaningful experiences along the way.
Every journey is designed personally with great care, combining boutique stays, trusted local relationships and a slower, more thoughtful way to explore the world.
My uncle used to say:
"Travel. Meet people. Experience other cultures. Feel the sun on your skin. Walk barefoot whenever you can. Discover places you have never been – as often as possible."
That may have been where it all began.
For me, travel is not about ticking off destinations, but about feeling. About being present. About creating memories and emotions that stay with you long after you return home.
Palmaer Travel was created from a desire to offer something more personal. More thoughtful. Journeys where every detail is carefully chosen, and where you can feel completely at ease.
I believe in time. Giving yourself time to experience, to feel, to truly arrive.
Time can be a different kind of calm. What I wish to share is the gift of time to simply enjoy.
I also believe in quality over quantity.
And in journeys that carry a sense of meaning.
Welcome to travel with me.
