Honeymoons

We've planned honeymoons for couples who knew instantly they wanted something different, and for those who gradually realised that a week at a resort wasn't quite their vision.

Our team understands that your honeymoon should feel like an extension of who you are as a couple - your tastes, your curiosity, the way in which you operate as a couple.

Every couple has their own rhythm. We take time to discover yours, curating journeys that might lead you from a restored colonial villa in Galle Fort to a minimalist architect-designed retreat in the Maldivian wilderness. Perhaps you'll start your mornings with fresh king coconuts brought by local fishermen, spend afternoons exploring hidden coves only accessible by boat, then return to hand-pour cocktails and vinyl records as the sun sets over the Indian Ocean.

Create your own traditions

Your honeymoon is where you'll forge the experiences that become woven into your identity as a couple. The herbalist in India who taught you about Ayurvedic remedies. That perfect beach near Ahangama you stumbled upon and kept returning to. The way you'll always seek out authentic experiences rather than polished or contrived performances.

We've found that the most meaningful honeymoons happen when luxury meets authenticity. Perhaps it's learning to cook kottu from a local near Anuradhapura, then dining privately on a sandbank under impossible stars in The Maldives. Maybe it's trekking through misty tea plantations at dawn in Southern India, meeting the pickers whose families have worked these hills for generations, before retreating to your soulful room with views for miles.

Whether it's watching traditional fishermen at golden hour, exploring spice islands where cinnamon bark is still hand-rolled, diving with manta rays in crystalline atolls, or simply finding that perfect sunset spot that feels like your secret. We design journeys that are immersive, beautifully crafted, and impossible to replicate from a brochure.

Properties with soul

Take Malabar Hill, for instance - a stylish and contemporary retreat carved into the edge of a former cinnamon plantation near Weligama in Southern Sri Lanka. Each villa has its own infinity pool overlooking jungle and coastline. It's the sort of place where architecture and landscape merge seamlessly, where breakfast is served whenever you wake, and where the only sounds are birdsong.

This is the calibre of property we seek out - places designed with intention, where sustainability isn't an afterthought, and where the owners genuinely care about creating something exceptional. Whether it's a restored tea planter's bungalow in the highlands, a minimalist beach villa designed by local architects, or a wilderness lodge where nature takes centre stage, we only recommend places we'd choose for our own honeymoons.

What our travellers say

If Red Dot ever ceased to exist and I wanted to return to Sri Lanka I would probably go somewhere else instead. They were, in every way shape and form, impeccable. From Samanthie who created the itinerary to Wicky who drove us here, there and everywhere I cannot imagine anybody doing it better. Impeccable. I need say no more except it doesn’t get any better.

We chose this company as we wanted our money to benefit the people of Sri Lanka rather than international companies. Their work supports smaller businesses, projects and communities as well as the environment

Our 11th visit to this magical Island with always something new to discover and see. This time we made it up north to Jaffna, via Mannar Island, after beginning in the tea country and acclimatising to the heat, after leaving a very cold UK in January. We had total confidence that RedDot would organise everything to perfection, having used them many times before

We had a fantastic holiday. The itinerary and choice of hotels was spot on, and seamlessly organised.

Exceptional tour of Sri Lanka with Dami. We cannot recommend Dami at Red dot tours highly enough. As our guide over 9 days he made sure that our trip to Sri Lanka was unforgettable- always going above & beyond to impart his knowledge, show us things off the beaten track, looking after us, getting us to try many local delicacies & making us laugh .. a LOT. Cannot imagine anyone doing a better job- if we could take him with us on every holiday we would!

Dulmini did a great job listening to our wishes and arranged an itinerary that was very busy but met all our needs. Sisira, our guide, was outstanding, providing us with great local knowledge and suggesting other activities on our travels. He was a great driver on the busy Sri Lankan roads, was always punctual but above all added colour to the whole trip.

I cannot recommend Red Dot Tours more highly. Thank you so much to Samanthie for her patience with me and all her hard work at putting together the perfect itinerary for my family. I had done a lot of research before I contacted Red Dot and Samanthie created a tour that fitted in all the activities we wanted to do and secured the hotels I told her we would like to stay in (not easy to do in high season).

Wow what can I say, from start to finish we have had a wonderful holiday with Red Dot Tours. Dulmini was so helpful in putting an itinerary together for us as a family of 6 and catering to all of our needs. We have ticked off so many of Sri Lanka’s beautiful sights during our trip. Dulmini and Dhanu were a great help to us while we were out on our travels too.

We spent 13 days on a Bawa tour with wonderful driver and guide Manjula, including Kandalama Heritance, The Kandy House, The Last House, Jetwing Yala, Jetwing Lighthouse and Club Villa hotels. We are 3 friends, one of them in the wheelchair. Dulmini Ekanayake from Red Dot Tours was very helpful and very patient and found solutions to all our special demands.

The itinerary was absolutely perfect and the hotels wonderful, especially Thotalagala, The Warden’s House and 41 Lighthouse Street. Our driver, Indika, was a delight-charming, knowledgeable, considerate and always punctual; he showed us more of this amazing country than we could have hoped for!

Wanted to take a moment to thank RedDot Tours, and specifically Jayandi for helping book a wonderful family vacation for my family and I. First time for my family and Jayandi took care of every detail, was so courteous and professional, and genuinely cared about our experience in SL. I would also like to mention Pradeep, our kind and understanding guide/chauffeur who took such good care of us while we were out and about. I cannot recommend RedDot enough!
Bob (November 2024) United States Read the whole review here Tripadvisor
We used Red Dot for the first time for our holiday in Sri Lanka. Dulmini put together such a wonderful experience for us, creating an itinerary she drew up after many discussions about what we like and also gave us suggestions for excursions and activities. It was totally bespoke and we were able to make changes throughout this process.

This is an excellent tour company. They planned our Sri Lankan holiday from start to finish. The trip was initially planned for 2022 but due to Covid and other issues we didn’t manage to undertake the trip until this year. Throughout all this time we had the same travel advisor Lahiru who responded quickly to my emails and rearranged and adjusted our holiday each year!
Anne (January 2025) United Kingdom Read the whole review here Tripadvisor
As a group of 8 we have had the most fabulous tour of Sri Lanka organised by Dulmini from RedDot who totally understood my brief of "some" culture, agriculture, nature, trekking and relaxation. The hotels chosen were a wonderful mixture of homestay, tented and pure luxury (Ceylon Tea Trails). The experiences to local villages, trekking the Pekoe Trail and climbing Pidurangala were memorable and our wonderful guide, Ananda, was so informative and knowledgeable and adapted to our needs admirable (not easy with a group of 8)
