Your Sri Lankan adventure begins the moment you land in Colombo. You’ll be whisked away to The Wallawwa, a tranquil boutique retreat just outside the airport. Set in tropical gardens and rich in colonial character, this is the perfect place to rest, refresh and ease into island time.
Travel inland to the Cultural Triangle where you’ll spend two nights at the spectacular Jetwing Vil Uyana, nestled among reed beds and paddy fields. While here, you’ll explore the ancient Sigiriya Rock Fortress – a UNESCO World Heritage site that rises dramatically from the jungle. With its frescoes, water gardens and panoramic views, it’s often dubbed the “Eighth Wonder of the World”.
Next stop: Kandy, Sri Lanka’s spiritual soul and former royal capital. Stay overnight at Hanthana Boutique Villa by Amaya, perched high in the hills. Don’t miss a visit to the Temple of the Tooth, which houses a relic of the Buddha and is considered one of the most sacred places for Buddhists worldwide.
Board a scenic train or drive through misty mountains and cascading tea plantations to reach Jetwing Warwick Gardens in Ambewela. This beautifully restored colonial estate offers a window into Sri Lanka’s British heritage and is ideal for slowing down and soaking in the highland serenity. Enjoy a tour of a working tea estate and warm up with a traditional Ceylon brew.
Ready for some adventure? Head south to the wild plains of Yala National Park, home to leopards, elephants, sloth bears and a colourful array of birdlife. You’ll spend two nights at Uga Chena Huts, a luxury safari lodge where the jungle meets the sea. Morning and evening game drives are included.
After all that exploring, it’s time to relax by the sea. Unwind for three nights at the elegant Jetwing Saman Villas, perched above a golden beach with the Indian Ocean stretching out before you. Dip into the infinity pool, indulge in a spa treatment, and savour fresh seafood.
After breakfast, you’ll be transferred to Colombo airport for your return flight home.
