ESCAPE TO SPECTACULAR SRI LANKA 

Temporary Travel Note (December 2025): Certain areas of Sri Lanka may be affected by the recent cyclone and flooding, which can limit accessibility. However, the country remains open to tourism. Our team monitors conditions closely and will adapt itineraries to ensure safe, seamless, and memorable journeys, offering alternative experiences where required.

Unforgettable Island Escapes

Discover the jewel of the Indian Ocean with a Sri Lanka holiday that awakens your senses. From golden beaches and palm-fringed shores to misty tea plantations and ancient temples, Sri Lanka offers a vibrant mix of culture, adventure, and relaxation. Step off the plane and hear the lively buzz of tuk-tuks in Colombo, smell fragrant spices in bustling markets, and feel the warm tropical sun on your skin. Every corner of the island invites exploration and rewards with unforgettable experiences.

Having travelled across Sri Lanka many times and staying in close contact with local friends and experts, I bring first-hand knowledge to every itinerary. You’ll enjoy authentic recommendations, hidden corners, and tailor-made journeys shaped by real insight.

A Small Island with a Big Impact

Though compact in size, Sri Lanka packs a world of experiences. See the lush hills of the central highlands, hear the distant calls of wildlife in national parks, and smell incense drifting through centuries-old temples in the Cultural Triangle. Stroll along golden beaches, explore the streets of Kandy, or wander Colombo’s vibrant markets. The island is full of contrasts that delight every traveller.

Whether it’s the scenic beauty of the Hill Country, the ancient wonders of the Cultural Triangle, thrilling encounters in National Parks & Safaris, or the sun-soaked serenity of the beaches, every visitor can find their perfect experience.

Handpicked Hotels Across Sri Lanka

These are just a few of the many hotels we can arrange across the island. From luxury beach resorts to boutique hill-country stays and city hotels, there are many more options to suit every style of holiday.

The Wallawwa

A mere fifteen-minute journey from the airport, this 18-bedroom boutique hotel exudes Colonial charm and is a great way to start your holiday. Relax post-flight in the pool, discreetly hidden by lush trees and planting, or indulge yourself in the hotel’s tranquil spa, before tingling your taste buds with The Wallawwa's outstanding gourmet food. Tomorrow, Sri Lanka beckons.

Jetwing Blue

A short distance from the airport, Jetwing Blue welcomes you to the golden, sandy beach of Negombo, with its generously-sized rooms overlooking the Indian Ocean. Perfect for enjoying a sundowner while soaking in magical tropical sunsets. Warm, authentic Sri Lankan hospitality and mouthwatering food are the orders of the day.

Cape Weligama

Only a thirty-minute journey from Galle, but feeling like a lifetime away, the cliff-top Cape Weligama encapsulates what so many love about Sri Lanka: genuine, warm hospitality; breathtaking ocean views; lush tropical gardens and unique, vibrant cuisine. The Weligama’s thirty-nine suites and villas have expansive outdoor verandahs for relaxation or dining and stylish, spacious and well-appointed interiors with in-room spa facilities.

Goatfell

High in Sri Lanka’s Hill Country and set among countless acres of tea bushes, this small, four-bedroomed hotel will transport you back to a bygone era. Once an estate manager’s bungalow, it still conveys a warm, Colonial charm. Round off a busy day and relax in Goatfell’s cool climate with a sundowner while sitting by the fire pit, enjoying the stunning views, while your butler (oh yes!) takes care of the good things in life.

Wild Coast Lodge

Something completely different awaits on Sri Lanka’s southern coast. Bordering the Yala National Park, twenty-eight uniquely designed, cocoon-like tented lodges are discretely nestled in their own jungle setting, a stone’s throw from the Indian Ocean. Kick back and simply soak in the surroundings and the lodge’s quirky interiors, or why not join one of our naturalists for a day safari adventure in Yala, where Elephants, Leopards, and an extraordinary array of wildlife are waiting to be discovered!

Uga Jungle Beach

The best of one of the many white, sandy beaches of the whole island, Uga Jungle Beach is an intimate cluster of luxury chalets, all offering a different view; from the beach to the jungle. Three of the chalets are uniquely arranged around their own pool so that groups traveling together can share their own experiences. Jungle beach offers a large range of activities, from yoga, spa, jet-skiing, and trips to Pigeon Island for snorkeling.

Cinnamon Citadel

Overlooking the majestic Mahaweli river, the Cinnamon Citadel is perfectly located to explore the ancient city of Kandy. Its well-appointed rooms look out to either garden, pool, or river. Traditional furnishings are tastefully decorated with the warming colours of spices. The main restaurant has stunning views across the river. Or for fine dining, there is an a-la-carte restaurant

Jetwing Vil Uyana

Restore body and soul in this luxurious eco-friendly hotel. Built over wetlands, you don't just get a room, you get a dwelling! Take a walk through the acres of land and really get back in touch with nature. Dine in the treehouse, have a spa treatment, or bike ride, or visit one of the many cultural sites.
