Tailor-made Sri Lanka holidays

Fall in love with Sri Lanka, the Pearl of the Indian Ocean, where you can find herds of wild elephants, ancient temples surrounded by lush jungle and tropical beaches with palm-fringed coves. Our travel specialists are here to share their first-hand knowledge of this incredible country, and to create a holiday you won't soon forget.

Take the slow route to Ella and experience Sri Lanka's most iconic train journey, follow in Buddha's footsteps and conquer Adam's Peak, rustle up a delicious curry, then kick back on one of hundreds of dreamy beaches.

If you'd like to experience something a little different, experience our India & Sri Lanka trip where you will travel from Delhi to Mirissa, or if you fancy combining the Maldives' crystal clear waters with Sri Lanka, you may be inspired by our Sri Lanka and Maldives itinerary.

Sri Lanka is a fantastic destination for families with children of all ages, it’s easy to get around with our private transfers and the variety of excursions and the laid-back culture means a stress-free holiday for everyone.

Search for wild elephants and monkeys in the lush national parks, cycle through ancient cities and laze away the days on a sandy beach whilst the kids make sandcastles… Sri Lanka may be small in size but it packs a real punch when it comes to family-friendly activities.
