Island life calling? With sun-drenched beaches, Instagrammable scenery and an up-and-coming capital, Sri Lanka holidays tick all those boxes and more.
Wild landscapes
Sri Lanka’s nicknamed the teardrop island because of its shape, but the name makes even more sense when you take in the country’s eye-watering natural beauty. Perfect sands look out over the Indian Ocean, with animal-filled jungles and tea plantations in the opposite direction. Expect Instagram-worthy views at every turn.
Capital Colombo
Just like the country’s natural assets, its capital city’s also a kaleidoscope of colour. The old quarter, which boasts a 17th-century Portuguese fort and a 29-metre-tall clock tower, sits in sight of a soaring skyline. State-of-the-art hotels, presidential palaces and high-end eateries are all neatly lined up along the coast. Hop in a tuk tuk and take them all in during a guided tour.
