Boutique Sri Lanka

DAY 1 DEPART UK

Depart the UK on your flight to Colombo.

DAY 2  THE NOTARY’S HOUSE   

On arrival at Colombo Airport, meet your chauffeur-guide and transfer to your first gorgeous boutique hotel. Recover from the flight, enjoy some great hospitality, a swim, or a walk around the gardens.

DAYS 3- 5  CULTURAL TRIANGLE  

You’ll be chauffeur-driven to the Cultural Triangle to discover the ancient ruins of Polonnaruwa, the iconic Sigiriya Rock Fortress, and to experience rural life. Travel around the scenic farmland by various modes of transport - by tuk-tuk, bike, on foot, or even a tractor. With your guide, you’ll learn first-hand about the area's history and the villagers' life and work.  

DAYS 6 & 7 KANDY    

You’ll be driven onwards to Kandy. Here you’ll spend two nights in Sri Lanka’s second city, steeped in ancient history and legend. On your second day, enjoy our signature excursion and discover the contrasts of Kandy, from the scenery to the culture and traditional Sinhalese artwork.

DAYS 8 & 9 RURAL ADVENTURES

Jump aboard Sri Lanka’s iconic train ride and wind through the spectacular tea-clad hills towards Haputale. On arrival, your driver will meet you with the car and your luggage to complete the journey by road.  Check in to your hideaway accommodation and enjoy the lovely pool and beautiful views. While here, you’ll have time to appreciate the scenery, taking walks in the hills and going to local waterfalls.

DAY 10: UDA WALAWE NATIONAL PARK

Your driver will transport you to Uda Walawe National Park. Your accommodation is an excellent base from which to explore the park. The park offers the most consistent elephant sightings in the country and is well known for its raptor species and variety of other wildlife—even leopards if you are lucky.

DAYS 11-13: THE DEEP SOUTH   

Head down to Mawella to enjoy some of the least busy of the south’s palm-fringed beaches. You’ll have a few days to spend at your leisure, during which you can rest and enjoy your hotel or perhaps explore inland where you’ll find temples and idyllic villages amidst the tropical vegetation.

DAYS 14 & 15 COLOMBO  

Spend your last two days in Colombo, Sri Lanka’s vibrant capital and home to a delicious array of street foods, brilliant shopping opportunities, and fascinating history. On a tuk-tuk tour, you’ll weave through the busy commercial area of Kotahena, where you’ll find remnants of its colonial past and former glory. Take to the streets on foot with your guide as they open up the city's cultural heart to you, giving you a real insight into the influences, traditions, and cultures that have shaped the city over the centuries.

DAY 16: FLY HOME

Your driver will drop you at Colombo airport to depart on your flight back to the UK.
