This heavenly two week holiday in Sri Lanka is the perfect combination of a beach getaway and cultural tour of the island. Combining Bentota's glorious beaches with the iconic sights of Sigiriya Rock, the Dambulla caves and the train journey between Ella and Kandy, this holiday is one to remember. Not too adventurous and with a slow start, it's perfect for honeymooners looking for a dose of romance and luxury, families looking for a holiday with a difference and silver travellers who want a little more from their holiday than a swimming pool and bar.

Remember, this trip can be personalised to suit your travel needs - we can tailor everything from hotel, travel type, duration and more.
