Discover a lush and undeveloped landscape, rich with wildlife and ancient culture.

An air of calm prevails on the blissful teardrop-shaped island of Sri Lanka. Although modest in size, the island is overflowing with sites of natural beauty and cultural wonder. In the country’s cultural triangle – ancient temples, palaces and shrines hideaway amongst dense tangles of creeping jungle where Buddhist monks worship, and elusive leopard still roam wild.

A train ride through Sri Lanka’s hill country will reward you with breath-taking vistas of tea plantations and paddy fields encompassed in low lying mist and peppered with natural waterfalls. If this stirs your sense of adventure, a safari tour through the dense jungles of Yala or Kumana National Park is a fantastic way to view the outstanding wildlife, and capture a glimpse of the national symbol of this island in the wild – the mighty elephant.  

Surrounding this luscious jungle heart is what Sri Lanka is best known for: endless and sublime unspoilt beaches. Here, boutique beach hotels line secluded, palm-fringed coasts of powder white sand and turquoise waters – the perfect place to unwind after a day of heady adventure.
