Make-A-Wish Come True with Shangri-La
Family has always been at the heart of Shangri-La and we are honoured to be supporting Make-A-Wish International with the inspiring work they do for families around the world.
A wish has the ability to transform the lives of children and their families during some of the most difficult times, giving a sense of hope and escapism when needed most. Shangri-La invites guests to make a difference by supporting this important cause to help children experience the power of imagination and the strength that comes from it.
Shangri-La* is proudly supporting Make-A-Wish International with bespoke stays and experiences to raise vital funds for the foundation.

Shangri-La Hotels in Sri Lanka Adopt Baby Elephant
Shangri-La Colombo and Shangri-La Hambantota have reaffirmed their long-standing commitment to sustainability, biodiversity, and meaningful local partnerships through the adoption of a baby elephant—affectionately named Ella—in collaboration with the Elephant Transit Home (ETH) in Udawalawe, Sri Lanka.
Through a five-year adoption agreement, Shangri-La will fund and support Ella’s care, nutrition, medical treatment and rewilding process; helping transform her from a vulnerable orphan to a strong, free-roaming elephant.
Under Shangri-La’s global Sanctuary programme, Ella’s story embodies the pillars that guide our purpose - protecting what is precious, living in harmony with nature, creating purpose-led guest journeys, and building emotional connections that go far beyond the stay.
