Sun-streaked beaches, picture-perfect natural scenery and an up-and-coming capital city – Sri Lanka holidays tick all of these boxes and more.
Wild landscapes
Sri Lanka’s nicknamed the teardrop island because of its shape. And this moniker makes even more sense when you catch a glimpse of the country’s eye-watering natural beauty. Sugar-like sands looking out over the Indian Ocean, animal-loaded jungles and a tea-plantation-filled countryside are all on Sri Lanka’s list of ingredients. So expect gawp-worthy views at every turn.
Capital Colombo
Just like the country’s natural assets, its capital city’s also a kaleidoscope of colour. Its 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.
