Smooth & Stylish Family Sri Lankan Experience

DAY 1  DEPART UK

Depart the UK on your flight to Colombo.

DAYS 2 & 3  RURAL GAMPAHA

Your chauffeur-guide will meet you on arrival and transfer you just a short drive away to your secluded boutique hotel for a two-night stay. The peaceful Sri Lankan countryside is a great place to ease into the holiday, with plenty to keep children occupied too. Explore nearby temples, the local botanical gardens or take a leisurely boat trip along the canal.

DAYS 4 - 6  CULTURAL TRIANGLE

Travel with your driver and guide up to the Cultural Triangle where you have three days to discover its ancient cities, interact with locals and get an insight into rural Sri Lankan life. Explore the backroads of Polonnaruwa on a cycling tour, beat the crowds with an early climb up the magnificent Sigiriya rock fortress and meet the locals who live in the surrounding countryside villages, learning how they farm on our signature off-the-beaten-track experience.

DAYS 7 - 9  KANDY

Travel south to the beautiful rolling hills around Kandy for your three-night stay in an attractive historic manor house away. Beyond the more well-known  Peradeniya Botanical Gardens and the sacred Temple of the Tooth, Kandy is surrounded by lush countryside and makes an excellent base for some outdoor adventures. 

DAYS 10 & 11  YALA NATIONAL PARK

You will be transferred to Kandy airport today to board your scenic seaplane flight to Hambantota, before driving to your luxury lodge on the outskirts of Yala National Park.

During your stay you’ll venture into the park on safari drives with a local naturalist looking for birdlife and game such as leopards, elephants, buffalos, and wild boar.

The lodge itself is truly special and part of the experience too- surrounded by bushland, you're surrounded by nature even when you're not on safari. The lodge faces out to the ocean with great facilities and meals. Beyond the daily safaris, there are plenty of activities, such as bush walks and cultural tours.

DAYS 12 - 15  Tangalle

After a final sunrise safari, you’ll journey around two hours to a luxury resort overlooking the beach on the south coast. Spend three full days here, with many activities and quality facilities to keep all ages entertained. Swim in the pool, wander along the beach at sunrise, take a surf or yoga lesson and enjoy the many dining options.

DAY 16  FLY HOME

Your driver will transport you to Colombo airport to depart on your flight back to the UK.
