The cultural wealth of Sri Lanka combined with the blissful beaches of the Maldives is a tough combination to beat.
Sri Lanka is an island of captivating beauty, rich history and infinite charm, and in the first week of this honeymoon you will experience all of these things in full measure whilst staying in some of the most beautiful boutique hotels we’ve found anywhere in the world.
Starting in Colombo, you travel to the incredible Rock Fortress at Sigiriya, visiting the world’s only orphanage for elephants en route. Explore the Kandy, the World Heritage site at Dambulla and the Buddhist Rock Temple before experiencing the spectacular scenery of the tea plantations and hill country.
Your hotels include the five star Vil Uyana near Sigiriya, the characterful Castlereagh Bungalow set on a lake in the hills, the magnificent Kandy House in Kandy, perhaps Sri Lanka’s most scenic city, and finally the Reef Wadduwa on Sri Lanka’s most beautiful beach.
Fly on to The Maldives for a week of lazing in perfect peace and indulgence. We recommend the Taj Exotica Resort and Spa, a beautiful private island resort. Choose from the beach villas with a private pool or a lagoon villa on stilts over the water.
This two-centre honeymoon combining a week in Sri Lanka and The Maldives costs from £7,100 to £7,630 per couple on a B&B basis. Fly non-stop to Sri Lanka and non-stop back to London from The Maldives.
