Sri Lanka Holidays

The teardrop-shaped island of Sri Lanka is a land of lush-green forests, shimmering temples, and golden beaches surrounded by the Indian Ocean. Visit hillside tea plantations and enjoy some of the world’s finest tea, explore ancient history, relax on the beach or go in search of wildlife during your tailor-made holiday in Sri Lanka.

Nestled among the hills and looped by Mahaweli River, the capital city of Kandy is home to the sacred Buddhist Temple of the Tooth, and Yala National Park, where wild elephants and leopards roam. If you’re a history lover then you will certainly enjoy visiting the ancient rock fortress and palace of Sigiriya, one of the seven UNESCO World Heritage sites in Sri Lanka, and home to some unique carvings. Sigiriya translates as and is also known as Lions Rock due to how it has been carved, including its fierce lion claw entrance.

Hire a bicycle and hit the dusty roads that run through the ancient and highly sophisticated city of Polonnaruwa. Visit the coastal city of Galle, with its imposing Dutch-built fortress, or take a trip to the buzzing capital of Colombo before taking a train ride through the tea country hills of central Sri Lanka to Nuwara Eliya.

Prepare to be enchanted by Dambulla Cave Temple, in which five separate caves contain about 150 absolutely stunning Buddha statues and paintings, some of Sri Lanka's most important and evocative religious art.
