From the moment you touch down in Sri Lanka, you will be well taken care of by your personal chauffeur-guide. Your first journey is just a 30-minute drive from the airport to your overnight accommodation – a beautiful boutique hotel that is complete with pool, spa, and quality restaurant.

Once refreshed, travel north to Ulagalla Resort in the Cultural Triangle. This special property is set on 58 acres of wilderness next to a picturesque reservoir, and guests have access to nature walks, horseback riding, and magical destination dining. Nearby are some of Sri Lanka’s most wondrous heritage attractions including the ancient city of Anuradhapura, Sigiriya Rock Fortress, and sacred mountain Mihintale.

Now your path takes you south to Kandy, Sri Lanka’s last royal capital. Kandy is an intriguing blend of old and new, lively and restful, and there are many ways to spend your time here. Visit the gilded Temple of the Tooth, shrine of a sacred Buddhist relic, and explore the astonishing art in the ancient temples on the outskirts. You can also wander aimlessly through the Royal Botanical Gardens which have a beauty that is staggering. Brave couples might like to head into the heart of the city to sample a range of local street food favorites.

Today, drive or take the train from Kandy to Hatton where tea estates carpet almost every corner of the hills. The railway still runs on its original tracks which date back to the days of the British Raj. Your luxurious accommodation also connects to the colonial era as it was once the abode of British tea planters. Today it offers an opulent stay complete with five-star dining, private guided tea experiences, luxurious rooms and glorious views.

From the hills, take a mesmerizing sea plane transfer to the south coast for two nights at Wild Coast Tented Lodge. This hotel has unrivalled architecture and an enviable position beside Yala National Park. Go on twice-daily drives in the park with a private guide in search of exotic animals including leopards and elephants. In the evening, dine under the stars while listening to the soothing sound of the ocean.

No trip to Sri Lanka would be complete without time on its seductive shoreline. Your destination, Tangalle, is renowned as having the most romantic beaches in Sri Lanka: long stretches of near-deserted golden sand, backed by swaying palms. Rest and relax in this idyllic environment, or participate in a variety of sea-based activities at nearby Mirissa. Those travelling between December and April can continue searching for exotic wildlife with a dolphin and whale watching experience.

Your honeymoon ends at the western end of the southern coastline near the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Galle. From your base here, you can explore the historic streets of the city or indulge in more beach time. You can also explore the characterful inland countryside on foot, by bike, or by boat. Your accommodation? We’ve saved the best until last… Luxury knows no bounds at the idyllic Kahanda Kanda
