Family holidays to Sri Lanka

Want to take the clan somewhere completely different? Try a family holiday to Sri Lanka. This Indian Ocean island stacks up friendly hotels, sandy beaches and a truckload of activities.

South-west Sri Lanka

Most of our beach hotels plant themselves in the south-west of Sri Lanka. Fancy something with a dash of luxury? Try the Blue Water hotel. Tennis and beach volleyball are on the activity list. Plus, there’s an outdoor kids’ pool. If you’re after an action-packed kids’ club, check out the Riu Sri Lanka. And the Bentota Beach hotel serves up watersports and snorkelling. The restaurant line-up includes an international buffet place, too.

A choice of activities

Yala National Parks tops our family-friendly line-up of day trips. Sloth bears and monkeys are residents — and you might even spy the elusive leopard. Minneriya National Park is another option. The watering hole here reels in the biggest gathering of Asian elephants on the planet. If you fancy heading out on to the Indian Ocean, try whale watching. The blue whale — the largest animal ever known — is a regular to the warm waters of Sri Lanka.

Our family holidays to Sri Lanka are All Inclusive, so you don’t have to worry about arranging hotel transfers, main meals and local drinks.
