Family Sri Lanka & The Maldives

This two-week itinerary has been thoughtfully designed to include memorable family experiences in Sri Lanka and the Maldives. Along the way, you’ll stay in unique, boutique, family-friendly accommodation where you’re ensured not only comfort and a great location but also an adventure.

You’ll travel in Sri Lanka with your own private chauffeur-guide. The route has been planned to minimise travel but ensure you can take in national parks, ancient cities, villages and hill country. The Sri Lanka tour can be as adventurous or relaxed as you wish. For the last part of the holiday, kick back in a villa on a beautiful, white sandy island in The Maldives.

Sri Lanka & The Maldives Holiday (May to September)

Holidays in Sri Lanka from May to September are one of the travel industry’s best-kept secrets, but it can be tricky to know where to go. In the north, central, and east of the island, the weather can be superb and a well-crafted itinerary will mean you’ll have plenty of sunshine. The timing makes it ideal for a family summer holiday, and the quieter season means it’s perfect for a honeymoon.

This itinerary will show you the main highlights of Sri Lanka as well as something a little different with our unique cultural experiences. You’ll also have the chance to explore the beautiful and mostly undiscovered eastern coast of the country before flying off to the Maldives to relax in style for four nights. For more ideas, don’t hesitate to give us a call.

Highlights

Sigiriya Rock Fortress

Climb Sigiriya Rock and explore the surrounding countryside

 

Kalkudah Bay

Relax at a luxury beach resort in Kalkudah Bay on the east coast; enjoy tranquil beaches and calm summer seas.

Classic Sri Lanka & Undiscovered Maldives

This holiday is Sri Lanka and The Maldives with a twist, delighting travellers who want to experience the Indian Ocean nations authentically yet in comfortable surroundings.

After a carefully crafted eight-day itinerary in Sri Lanka, rather than being whisked away to your resort on landing in The Maldives, you’ll see the real culture and people of this island nation with a guesthouse stay on a local island.

Of course, you’ll also get the classic Maldivian resort experience to ensure you have a chance to unwind in luxurious surroundings before you fly home.

Highlights

Sigiriya Rock Fortress

Explore UNESCO heritage Sigiriya Rock Fortress at sunset with stunning views over the tropical forests of the cultural triangle

 

Male

Discover the city of Male that climbs out of the turquoise waters of the Indian Ocean

In Our Travellers’ Words

Sri Lanka is truly a gem of the Indian Ocean

Our well-thought-out trip fulfilled our expectations and more. Our granddaughter was interested in the wildlife, culture, and the many exotic fruits and vegetables of Sri Lanka—as were we. Working with [ETG], we developed an itinerary that, at journey's end, gave us a sense that we had chosen a company that responded to our needs.
Mr Genn

Sri Lanka made (very) easy!

Sri Lanka was a delight. The unique experiences ETG provided really brought the country to life. From the planning through to booking, and all the arragements, we really didn't have to think about a thing thanks to ETG's expertise and care.

The most amazing honeymoon

... which we could never have planned ourselves. I have never booked a holiday through a company before, but am a complete convert - ETG planned everything to such a high quality and we had the most amazing time!
