Sri Lanka is a mere teardrop shape of an island and a precious little amalgam of culture, history, architecture, cuisine and nature’s bounty. Influenced by the Indian, Portuguese, Dutch and British imprints, Sri Lanka has a little something for every holiday-goer. From its pristine, untouched beaches and lush mountains to its unbeatable wildlife population and iconic colonial architecture, Sri Lankan culture is as diverse as its people.

Under the gaze of a tropical sun, the exquisite sand beaches and placid blue waters of Sri Lanka unfold. The flavors of coconut and abundant seafood conspire with ever-friendly locals to shape the most exquisite beach holiday destinations. Add stopovers at the seaside colonial fort city of Galle, and whale and dolphin watching tours down the coast.
