ROK DICE announces launch of LUXESIO magazine: Premium digital travel magazine and guide dedicated to Sri Lanka

• Operating as a “living edition”, the publication reclaims the island’s tourism narrative through world-class design, independent journalism and sensory storytelling

ROK DICE Ltd., a Colombo-based independent publisher, announces the launch of LUXESIO, a premium digital travel magazine created for the international traveller. With the release of its complimentary Volume One, the precursor to December’s highly anticipated Sri Lanka Deluxe Edition, the magazine introduces a new standard of destination journalism to the region, operating under a single guiding premise: Sri Lanka, thoughtfully explained.

As a proudly Sri Lankan publication, LUXESIO takes ownership of the island’s story. Directed by a core Sri Lankan editorial team and supported by contributors and photographers from the United Kingdom, Australia and Europe who share their first-hand experiences of the island, the complete edition will bring practical clarity to 22 destinations and national parks. It will cover precise island navigation, curated design-led stays, regional dining, close observations of local food culture and dedicated safety guidance for solo female travellers. In doing so, LUXESIO elevates Sri Lankan tourism by championing design, culture and thoughtful curation over mass-market clichés. 

LUXESIO Managing Director Jawid Cader said, “This launch is the realisation of a project we refined for over five years, waiting to assemble the exact right network of collaborators and partners. Sri Lanka deserves to be presented with absolute editorial clarity. By launching as a digital-first publication, we ensure this considered, up-to-date travel intelligence is instantly accessible to the global traveller.”

Moving beyond traditional, static guidebooks, LUXESIO operates as a ‘living edition’. The digital magazine will be continually updated to maintain factual accuracy and relevance, ensuring it remains the definitive guide to the island. To mark the launch, the publication is offering Volume One as a complimentary digital release, formatted for flawless reading on mobile and tablet devices.

LUXESIO Editor-in-Chief Fallon De Silva stated, “We wanted to build a reading experience that evokes a deep sense of familiarity and closeness to the island. We deliberately stripped away the inflated travel terminology that dominates the industry today. Instead, we focused purely on sensory details and visually immersive, in-field photography, placing the reader directly within the scene before they even arrive.”

Designed for a quiet, cosy corner and a morning coffee, the publication relies on a cinematic format. By pairing striking photography with refined editorial design, LUXESIO eliminates the clutter of traditional guidebooks and invites readers to picture themselves within the landscape. By uncovering a world-class tier of Sri Lankan hospitality that the international market has frequently overlooked, the magazine fosters an immediate, deeply felt connection to the island. While it serves as an essential reference for luxury travel agents and international readers, its visually immersive pages inspire a much broader audience to step away from mass-tourism routes and aspire to a more considered, premium journey.

Beyond its editorial pages, LUXESIO operates as a high-trust digital platform that bridges the gap between design-minded travellers and the island’s premier hospitality brands. Rooted in a deep respect for cultural heritage and design, the publication eschews traditional advertising in favour of strictly curated, editorially integrated partnerships. By weaving these selected retreats across its digital magazine, web features and dedicated newsletters, LUXESIO connects Sri Lanka’s finest local stewards with an affluent international demographic, all while protecting its uncompromising editorial ethos.

Volume One is available now as the introduction to the forthcoming Sri Lanka Deluxe Edition, which will cover all 22 destinations when it is released in December, alongside a limited, physical Collector’s Edition print run. To step inside Volume One, visit: luxesiomagazine.com
