Secluded Luxury
The Maldives is known as a byword for bliss. But it can be so much more than just a dreamy setting. When paired with countries like Sri Lanka or India, it becomes the cherry on top of a rich, experience-led holiday.
At Experience Travel Group, we help you combine the Maldives with immersive adventures elsewhere, then slow things down in a way that feels meaningful.
Whether that’s snorkelling with marine biologists, watching the reef come alive from your over-water villa or staying on a local island. It’s blissful relaxation on your own terms, to your own tempo. We curate your getaway just right.
All Experience Travel Group holidays are designed for delight, not decision fatigue. Hand over the planning admin to our trusty Travel Team who’ll curate your own bespoke package.

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.

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.
