You might have been to Sri Lanka before, and loved the country. This itinerary is perfect for a hugely relaxing journey along the south coast, spending longer in each destination so you have lots of time to truly enjoy the amazing hotels you are staying in, and being able to properly experience the destination without the need to move on too quickly. The south coast of Sri Lanka is one of those places that just makes you so relaxed, a winter-sun bolthole that has a fantastic climate with a culture and cuisine that simply makes you smile. Stay in gorgeous boutique hotels, chosen to be a relaxing base where you might well spend a day or two just sitting by the pool reading a book and recharging the batteries. You can of course put down the book from time to time and dip into the destination such as taking a jeep out in Yala National Park to spot leopard and elephant, or walking through the fascinating colonial town of Galle. You can do as much or as little as you want, as this itinerary is all about flexibility. Sometimes a holiday should very much be a holiday. Sit back and let the leisurely delights of Sri Lanka restore you to your former self!

Arrive into Colombo and spend the night close-by so that you don’t need to take a long car journey when you arrive.
Fly to Mattala and transfer to Yala National Park, home to leopard, wild elephant and a host of other fauna. Head off on an afternoon safari in the park. You’ll stay here for three nights so lots of time for game drives, or just relaxing by the pool.
Drive to Galle along the coast, and stay in Kanada Kanda for three nights. You can either just relax in the hotel, or head into Galle to take a walking tour. Another superb experience is heading off cycling in the surrounding countryside, through rural villages and past verdant paddy-fields and plantations.
Continue along the coast to Bentota for your final five nights relaxing on the beach.
Sri Lanka has it all; amazing luxury boutique hotels, fantastic experiences, breath-taking scenery, sumptuous cuisine and you can even hop around in a private helicopter.
This journey to Sri Lanka combines the tea country with a stay on Sri Lanka’s south coast, more of a relaxing holiday than immersive tour, a way to sit-back and relax and simply enjoy the destination.
