Holidays in Sri Lanka

An introduction to Sri Lanka

Holidays in Sri Lanka have everything you need for a relaxing break, a sightseeing extravaganza – or a bit of both! Whether you're turned on by fabulous beaches and exotic culture or wandering through old colonial plantations is more your cup of tea, Sri Lanka holidays are for you. What's more, the famous 'Teardrop Island' has enough eye-catching scenery to make even the most experienced traveller well up with emotion. After all, it happened to professional globetrotter Marco Polo, who called this place the 'finest island on earth'.

Value for money is another of the island's attractions, so cheap holidays to Sri Lanka are not out of the question. And don't worry, bargain holidays doesn't mean roughing it. Resorts like Bentota, Beruwela, Kalutara and Negombo have luxury hotels that tick all the boxes when it comes to comfort and facilities. Plus you can choose just how close to the action or away from it all you want to be. Ahungalla, for example, is a small fishing village with a sleepy, laid back atmosphere. Or there's Beruwela, which offers much more in the way of shops, restaurants and nightlife.

If you're looking for all inclusive holidays, Sri Lanka has a number of hotels that will fit the bill. Mind you, with so many interesting sights and so much beautiful scenery on the island, there's no need to rely on your hotel to keep you amused. As for food, you won't want to miss out on the tastebud-tingling experience of a spicy curry in a traditional local restaurant.
