SRI LANKA HOLIDAYS witha touch of adventure
Everything you could ever want. And more. Astonishing. There’s no other word for it. Sri Lanka is astonishing. Indian Ocean, tropical island, breathtaking beach, atmospheric ancient cities, wild wildlife - all astonishing. All discovered with our help.
And when we say “luxury holiday destination”, we don’t just mean luxurious as in luxury hotels (though we know where to find the best of those, too). We mean the perfect balance of discovery and downtime. We mean epic adventure, intimate, empathetic cultural immersion and poolside R&R as one.
While we’re taking care of the planning and handling all the nitty-gritty logistics, all you have to do is sit back and look forward to your dream holiday, safe in the knowledge that as members of ABTA and ATOL, your money is 100% protected.

From leopards to lizards to civets to crocodiles to ‘elephas maximus maximus’ (elephants to you and us), Sri Lanka is replete with the most exotic of exotic wildlife.
These days everyone talks ‘eco’. But to us, 'eco' is more than just a quaint rural aesthetic - it’s a commitment. Every hotel we work with in Sri Lanka has made that commitment. A genuine commitment to sustainability. Or we don’t use them.
Misty, magical, forest-clad hill country makes for some of Asia's most atmospheric and awe-inspiring landscapes.
HANDPICKED HOTELS IN SRI LANKA
Whatever your preference, there’s no doubt about it, Sri Lanka has some of the most amazing hotels in Asia. From out-and-out luxury to quaint, quirky and characterful. From intimate family-run hotels to hotels that blend a bit of everything - Sri Lanka has it all.
The best holiday hotels in Sri Lanka for us? The smaller, boutique-style accommodation. More charm, more vibe, more opportunities to meet the real Sri Lanka, get a real flavour for the place and get up close to Sri Lanka’s world-famous hospitality.
And if you want to go mix it up? No worries - there are plenty of great hill country, beachside, eco-friendly and cool, calm heritage hotels to stay at. Plenty of family hotels and family resorts in Sri Lanka too, with interconnecting rooms, fab, fun pools and plenty to explore locally.
Take a look at some of our favourite hotels in Sri Lanka. If there’s something specific you're after, just get in touch and we’ll see what we can do.
Ravana Garden, Kalametiya
Pioneering boutique hotel on the southern coast where luxurious comfort and environmentally friendly ethos happily co-exist.
Tea Trails, Hatton
Four heaven sent hill country bungalows on the shores of beautiful Castlereagh Reservoir.
The Notary's House, Pannala
A charming, calming six-bedroom lake-side hotel. Manicured gardens, coconut groves, headspace. The perfect place to ease into Sri Lanka
Water Garden , Sigiriya
A luxury hideaway wrapped in beautiful paddies, pools, lakes and streams. A calming, conveniently located hotel with lovely villas.
Why House, Talpe
A beautiful boutique hotel. Attentive, friendly, relaxed comfort that feels more home away from home, than high life.
Wild Coast Tented Lodge, Yala
Luxury cocoon-shaped tents, allied with a beautiful coastal location: Wild Coast delivers a unique, cool twist on the traditional African-style safari lodge.
Once-in-a-Lifetime Experiences in Sri Lanka
Sri Lanka offers an impressive variety of once-in-a-lifetime experiences. But why make yours the same as everyone else's when we can make yours unique?
At ETG we’ll always offer you new experiences. Unusual, unexpected experiences. Once-in-a-lifetime experiences, a little (sometimes a lot) out of the ordinary.
With Yala National Park on most travellers’ to-do lists, why not go leopard or elephant spotting in the lesser-visited Wilpattu National Park? Instead of climbing the famous Sigiriya Rock Fortress; try nearby Pidurangala for a sunrise picnic that overlooks it?
From secluded Buddhist temples to exclusive-access tea plantations, and from crazy, colourful cities to dreamy, dramatic spirit-drenched mountains, pristine ocean beaches and deep dark jungle, Sri Lanka shares countless incredible experiences.
Totally exceptional, completely unforgettable, once-in-a-lifetime experiences - waiting for you.
