Recommended itinerary
Days 1-3
Kandalama
After touching down in Colombo, a driver will meet you and take you to Heritance Kandalama, an 85-mile journey northeast of the city. Your driver will be at your disposal for the next eight days, taking you to the locations and sights you’ll visit over the first part of your trip. You’ll have three nights in Kandalama, the perfect base for visiting caves at Dambulla, the Sigiriya Rock Fortress, and searching for Sri Lankan elephants in Minneriya National Park.
Days 4-5
Kandy
You’ll head south to Kandy, a cultural hub of Sri Lanka in the misty Hill Country. A stay at Earl’s Regency Kandy breaks up the journey to Nuwara Eliya, where you can enjoy a leisurely supper in the Royal Pavilion restaurant with a menu inspired by global cuisines.
Day 6
Nuwara Eliya
The colonial bungalows and Tudor-style buildings lend an English countryside feel to this area. Stay in a former tea factory where there’s a sense of history amid the luxury.
Day 7
Ella
A comparatively short journey brings you to a Hill Country village where you’ll stay on the grounds of a tea plantation at 98 Acres Resort & Spa. The chalets are striking, constructed from reclaimed materials with prime views of the Ella Gap.
Days 8-9
Yala
Your driver will take you to the south coast, where you’ll check into the Jetwing Safari Camp in Yala. Here, you can venture into the world-famous Yala National Park searching for elephants, then return to relax by the pool or on the beach.
Days 10-12
Bentota
A private transfer takes you from Yala to Bentota to finish your trip on a relaxing note at Cinnamon Bentota Beach. You’ve got three nights to enjoy this luxury resort on the Gold Coast before returning to Colombo for your flight home.
