Depart from the UK and fly to Colombo. Direct flights from London or regional departures available too.

Day 2 negombo

Met at the airport by your chauffeur/guide and transfer in your comfortable vehicle to The Wallawwa – a converted ancestral manor house, come boutique hotel which provides a wonderful start to your holiday.

Day 3 cultural triangle

After a leisurely morning, it is off to your base in the cultural triangle for the next few days – the superb Ulugalla. On route you might choose to stop at the Aukana Standing Buddha – one of ancient Sri Lanka’s crowning artistic achievements and the largest standing Buddha in the country.

Day 4 anuradhapura

A full day tour of Anuradhapura today. Close by to Ulugalla, Anuradhapura was a huge city 2500 years ago, perhaps the largest in the world at the time and its legacy is a huge array of incredible monuments. Ask us about our specialist guides here – they can really bring the place to life for historical enthusiasts. If you have time, you can also visit Mihintale, where Buddhism was introduced to Sri Lanka.

Day 6 kandy

Drive today from Ulugalla to Kandy, via a short tour of the centre of Kandy. The Kandy House is your destination – a beautiful hotel in the lush tropical scenery just outside of Kandy itself.

Day 7 kandy & surroundings

We’d suggest a visit to Peradenniya Botancial Gardens today. Golfers should definitely consider a round at Victoria Golf Course – surely one of the world’s most beautiful settings for a round.
