Sri Lanka

Though compact, Sri Lanka packs a punch with World Heritage sites, hill stations, golden beaches and national parks plus beautiful boutique hotels.

Sri Lanka is a dreamy, tropical destination with a landscape of upland tea plantations, jungles, and a coastline of palm-fringed beaches.

Formerly known as Ceylon and Serendib, Sri Lankan culture is shaped by Buddhist philosophy and infused with Portuguese, Dutch, and English flavours.

Our team of Abercrombie & Kent travel experts go the distance to ensure your luxury tour of Sri Lanka is a VIP experience from the moment you arrive in this colourful, enthralling country to the moment you board your flight home. You’ll stay in hand-picked accommodations with amenities as exquisite as the view from your bedroom window.

Guests enjoy one-of-a-kind experiences and activities that show off Sri Lanka’s captivating customs and scenic vistas. Sample some of Sri Lanka’s staple foods, from flavourful curries to savoury kottus and hoppers. Wander the ancient palace ruins at the medieval capital of Polonnaruwa, breathe in the smell of fresh flowers at Kandy’s Royal Botanical Gardens, and sink your toes in the sand at Mawella beach.

When to Go

Many travellers choose to book a holiday between December and March, when the humidity is lower with temperatures more comfortable for sightseeing and exploration in Sri Lanka’s hill country and along the south coast. However, those willing to brave monsoon season (May through September) will be treated to a unique experience, as the countryside is saturated with lush greens.
