Sri Lanka holidays

About Sri Lanka

Sri Lanka is a hidden gem, offering the beauty of paradise without the expensive price tag. With miles of white sandy beaches, ancient ruins, delicious food and their famous tea, Sri Lanka is a stunningly beautiful country filled with friendly people. It is still relatively undiscovered by tourists, making it a great time to visit and explore its hidden gems.

The country has 8 World Heritage sites, all of which are easily accessible. From the site of the oldest human-planted tree to hundreds of wild elephants gathering to drink, there is something for everyone to marvel at. The beaches are world-class, with relatively undiscovered dive sites, and the rain-forested peaks are perfect for explorers and hikers.

The average high temperatures are usually in the late 20s and early 30s, making it a sunny destination. The monsoons tend to focus on the northeast, so it’s best to stick to the southwest to minimise the downpours.

Sri Lanka is an idyllic place that needs to be seen to be believed. With its stunning beauty, pleasant lack of crowds and affordable prices, now is the perfect time to book your next trip.
