Sri Lanka Holidays

Sri Lanka offers travellers the perfect combination of culture and relaxation and will certainly provide a unique and memorable holiday destination.

Offering a very different atmosphere from its neighbouring country, India, the Sinhalese, Tamil and Muslim local people are proud of their cultural history, wildlife rich national parks along with their sumptuous cuisine.

Sri Lanka offers the perfect place for dividing time between relaxing on one of the many pristine beaches of Beruwela or Bentota and visiting its historical monuments many of which are designated UNESCO World Heritage sites, including the beautiful Galle Fort in the southern region of the country. The ancient capitals of Polonnaruwa and Anuradhapura are definitely an architectural highlight, and well worth a visit along with the stunning landscapes of Kandy and the central highlands.

Sri Lanka is an excellent family destination and any holiday in Sri Lanka can be adapted to balance the cultural element with beach depending on personal requirements. The island also offers exceptional wildlife, which is rich and varied including elephants and a variety of whale species.

As the author Sir Arthur C Clarke claimed, Sri Lanka really is ‘the best place in the world from which to view the universe.’
