🇱🇰 Sri Lanka: Wildlife, Culture & Tropical Escape

Tailor-Made Holidays from Dubai

Sri Lanka is an island made for discovery. Within one journey, you can experience ancient temples, lush tea plantations, tropical beaches, spectacular mountain scenery, wildlife safaris and vibrant local culture.

Explore the historic heart of the island, travel through the green hills of the tea country, search for elephants and leopards on safari and finish your journey beside the Indian Ocean.

Perfect for couples, families and groups of friends, Sri Lanka is an excellent choice for travellers who want much more than a traditional beach holiday.

🏛️ Discover Sri Lanka’s Cultural Heritage

Sri Lanka’s history stretches back thousands of years, and some of the island’s most impressive sights are found within its famous Cultural Triangle.

Climb the spectacular Sigiriya Rock Fortress, rising dramatically above the surrounding jungle, and explore ancient temples, royal gardens and archaeological sites.

Visit Dambulla Cave Temple, famous for its collection of Buddhist statues and paintings, or continue to the ancient cities of Polonnaruwa and Anuradhapura to discover centuries of Sri Lankan history.

In Kandy, visit the celebrated Temple of the Sacred Tooth Relic, explore the city and lake, and discover one of the country’s most important cultural centres.

🍃 Tea Country & the Highlands

The central highlands reveal a completely different side of Sri Lanka.

Travel through rolling green hills covered with tea plantations, waterfalls and misty mountain scenery towards Nuwara Eliya and Ella.

Visit a working tea estate to learn how famous Ceylon tea is grown and produced, walk through the plantations and enjoy a freshly brewed cup surrounded by spectacular scenery.

One of Sri Lanka’s most memorable experiences is the scenic train journey through the hill country, passing tea estates, forests, villages and mountain valleys.

Around Ella, visit the famous Nine Arch Bridge, hike to panoramic viewpoints or simply slow down and enjoy the cooler mountain climate from a boutique hotel overlooking the hills.

🐘 Safari & Wildlife

Sri Lanka is one of Asia’s most exciting wildlife destinations.

Take a private jeep safari through Yala National Park, known for its population of leopards as well as elephants, crocodiles, monkeys and an extraordinary variety of birdlife.

Other national parks offer opportunities to see wild elephants gathering in large herds, while nature reserves across the island are home to an impressive diversity of wildlife.

For families, a safari adds a completely different dimension to the holiday. For couples and friends, it can be combined with boutique lodges, private guides and scenic journeys through the island.

🏝️ Beaches & the South Coast

After exploring Sri Lanka’s cultural sites, mountains and national parks, head towards the coast for a few days of relaxation.

Discover the beaches of the south and southwest coast, where tropical landscapes meet the Indian Ocean.

Explore historic Galle Fort, with its atmospheric streets, boutiques, cafés and restaurants, before continuing to a beach resort or boutique hotel along the coast.

Depending on the season and location, travellers can enjoy surfing, snorkelling, whale watching, sailing, spa treatments and sunset dinners by the ocean.

For a more relaxed holiday, combine a few days of touring with a longer stay at a beachfront resort.

🌿 Things to Do in Sri Lanka

Sri Lanka offers an extraordinary variety of experiences within a relatively compact island.

Climb Sigiriya, explore ancient temples, take a jeep safari in a national park, visit a tea plantation, ride the famous hill-country train, hike through the mountains and wander through the historic streets of Galle.

Food lovers can discover Sri Lankan curries, fresh seafood, tropical fruit and traditional street food, visit local markets or join a private cooking experience.

Adventure travellers can add surfing, hiking, rafting and cycling, while those looking for a slower journey can choose beautiful boutique hotels, Ayurveda treatments, yoga retreats and luxury beach resorts.

🍛 Taste Sri Lanka

Sri Lankan cuisine is one of the island’s great pleasures.

Discover aromatic rice and curry, hoppers, seafood, coconut-based dishes, tropical fruits and fragrant spices, with recipes influenced by centuries of cultural exchange.

Visit a local market, explore a spice garden or join a cooking class to discover how traditional Sri Lankan dishes are prepared.

From simple local restaurants to sophisticated dining at luxury hotels, food can become an experience in itself throughout the journey.

☀️ Sri Lanka for Your Next Escape

One of Sri Lanka’s biggest advantages is the variety it offers. Instead of spending the entire holiday in one resort, travellers can build a journey around culture, mountains, wildlife and the ocean.

For a first visit, a beautiful itinerary could combine:

Sigiriya → Kandy → Tea Country → Yala → Galle & the Coast

For a shorter trip, we can focus on two or three regions; for a longer holiday, Sri Lanka is ideal for a complete private tour followed by several relaxing days on the beach.
