Recommended itinerary

Days 1 to 2

Colombo

Your adventure begins with a couple of nights in the island’s capital, to both reset after your flight, and get to know how one of Asia’s rapidly developing cities ticks. As soon as you land, you’ll be whisked to your hotel (there’s a great choice from an ultra-modern high-rise to a former private mansion) for much-deserved some down before you get your bearings with a Colombo City Walk guided by a local expert.

Days 3 to 4

Kandy

Your private chauffeur will pick you up and you’ll swap one city for another, heading into the heart of the island for a stay for two in bustling and beautiful Kandy. The city is a cultural capital with relics of the Kingdom of Kandy, sacred shrines and relics, a trio of 14th-Century temples, a peaceful lake, vast tropical gardens and dance performances passed down many generations. An introductory tour and fire dance show will give you a glimpse into the city’s heritage. Most of our featured Kandyan hotels have breathtaking beautiful settings outside the city so you’ll have the best of both worlds – a romantic bolthole to retreat to but just a short hop from the action.

Days 5 to 6

Ella

The journey from Kandy to Nuwara Eliya will be vying for top spot when it comes to favourite honeymoon moments. The first leg is the drive from Kandy up to Nuwara Eliya, a seriously scenic road trip that takes you up into Sri Lanka’s famed Hill Country. Then its time to embark on the unhurried and winding train journey of a lifetime to Ella amid terraces and tea plantations, past waterfalls and through mist-cloaked forests. Once you arrive it’s time to settle into your hotel – and the hotels up here in the hills are something special. Your full day in Ella is a packed one; it’s all about mountain views, iconic bridges, caves, waterfalls, temples and even tree-top-skimming zip lines followed by three restful hours at a pool club.

Days 8 to 9

Yala

The epic Sri Lanka honeymoon experiences continue but the focus shifts from the lofty landscapes of the Hill Country to the island’s famed wildlife. On your included park safari, keep your eyes trained for the elusive leopard, herds of Asian elephants, sloth bears, water buffalo and more than 200 species of birds. There’ll also be time to kick back at your resort or perhaps take a romantic stroll along the wild and wonderful south-east coast beaches.

Days 10 to 12

Tangalle

We mentioned that there’s no need for the culture vs beach compromise common in many honeymoon decisions: a stay on the stunning south coast rounds off your holiday of a lifetime and is totally dedicated to doing as little as you want. This is truly time to refresh and reflect on the wild ride of the last few months.
