Where to travel

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.

Honeymoons in

Sri Lanka

From sunrise on quiet beaches to cool evenings in the hill country, a honeymoon in Sri Lanka unfolds through intimate moments, unique stays, and experiences designed entirely around you.

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

We went to Sri Lanka as a three-generation family of three. The superb trip was organised by Samanthie and the team and it's difficult to see how it could have been bettered.

Red Dot organised the most wonderful 3-week holiday for us. Samanthie built a trip around the amazing sights we had requested visiting, together with her own suggestions and a wide mix of hotels, which gave us the flavours of both traditional Sri Lanka and the sleek, stylish contemporary version of the country. Our Driver made the whole experience incredibly special for us.

I can’t thank Cherylle and the Red Dot team enough for their meticulous planning of our family holiday to India travelling through Rajasthan over Christmas. As a family of all adults, every suggestion from daily activities to hotel choices was simply perfect. We travelled through Delhi, Ranthambore (an unforgettable tiger safari!), Jaipur and Agra and I truly feel we experienced the very best of each destination while moving at a relaxed, well thought out pace

My partner arranged a holiday trip at fairly short notice to Sri Lanka with Red Dot on a recommendation, Samanthie was so patient & helpful with her suggested itinerary which we followed with some minor amendments. On arrival at Colombo we met Manjula our chauffeur/guide who was absolutely brilliant!

Dulmini and the Red Dot Team arranged a fantastic trip for us around Assam and North Eat India. Faultless service. I cannot recommend them more highly.

Wonderful company. Our holiday in Sri Lanka was perfect. Local knowledge made all the difference

We looked up, and communicated with umpteen tour operators. Though Red Dot seemed to have offices in Sri Lanka and the UK, they seemed to have the best reviews. We were fortunate enough to correspond with Cherylle, who not only assured us of the safety of our friend, but created a personalised, and flexible, itinerary which we could not have done ourselves.

A 14-day tour with Red Dot Tours was the perfect antidote to the bleak UK winter. After a glowing recommendation from a friend, we contacted Red Dot Tours and were not disappointed. Our consultant, Lahiru, curated a seamless itinerary. Throughout the planning phase, Lahiru was incredibly responsive; the final itinerary—delivered via a user-friendly 'Guest Portal'—was impressively detailed, covering every hotel stay and excursion.
