About Yasoja

I am Yasoja Ekanayake, Assistant Director of Guest Relations, Art & Soul Group in Lisbon, Portugal. Yasoja.net is my official website. I lead guest relations for a portfolio of distinctive hotels, with a home base in Lisbon. My work is quiet and precise: anticipating needs, opening doors that aren't on the map, and shaping the kind of stay guests remember years later.

Luxury is not a checklist — it is a feeling of being known. Every itinerary I design begins with listening; every recommendation is something I would offer a close friend visiting Lisbon for the first time.
