Boutique bliss
on the Resplendent Isle

The perfect introduction to Sri Lanka, this tour encompasses the very best of the island’s culture and includes stays in some of the country’s most stylish boutique properties.

Start your journey in a quiet corner of Negombo’s rural hinterland, just north of Colombo, with a stay at an award-winning country house hotel. The following day, depart for Sigiriya, renowned for its sacred rock fortress and intricate fresco paintings.

Enjoy a spice infused Sri Lankan lunch before heading on to the hillside retreat of Kandy, where you can enjoy a tuk tuk city tour and explore the charming street markets. Take a scenic train journey to Hatton; a fabulous way to admire the tea country. You’ll then head to Hatton where you can unwind and observe life on a working Ceylon tea estate.
