The POYA Market returns to Mount Lavinia Hotel on Monday, 10th June 2025, from 10 AM to 4 PM, in perfect harmony with the Organic Vegan Lunch Buffet at the iconic Governor’s Restaurant.
This vibrant market is a celebration of sustainability, conscious living, and local craftsmanship, bringing together an inspiring collection of locally made, eco-friendly products. From arts and crafts to ethical clothing, household goods, jewellery, paintings, plants, and palm-based products, the June POYA Market creates a beautiful space for visitors to connect with Sri Lanka’s finest small-scale entrepreneurs—many of whom are Good Market approved.
Held in an eco-conscious setup, the market isn’t just about shopping—it’s about supporting a movement. Mount Lavinia Hotel proudly provides all vendors with free space, setup, and promotion, reaffirming its commitment to community empowerment and sustainable tourism.
“The POYA Market reflects the heart of Mount Lavinia Hotel’s values—heritage, sustainability, and hospitality,” says Anura Dewapura, Chief Operating Officer of Mount Lavinia Hotel. “For our guests, it offers an authentic cultural experience. For local vendors, it’s a platform for growth. And for the city of Mount Lavinia and Sri Lanka as a tourist destination, it’s a living example of how tourism can uplift communities and promote a greener future.”
Pair your market visit with the plant-based Organic Vegan Lunch Buffet at Governor’s Restaurant, thoughtfully curated to align with the day’s spirit of compassion and environmental care.
This Poya Day, whether you’re a conscious shopper, a food lover, or simply someone who wants to spend time outdoors with purpose—come be part of something beautiful. Everyone is invited.
Let’s honour the full moon with gratitude, community, and love for planet Earth.
