Honeymoon to Sri Lanka in the Summer
Sri Lanka
14 days
(13 nights)
A sophisticated honeymoon designed to maximise the best experiences in Sri Lanka between May and September.
Our honeymoons are a little different. In this sample honeymoon to Sri Lanka in the summer months, you’ll be visiting ancient sites, enjoying sunrise picnics overlooking forest canopies, hiking hills, swimming under secret waterfalls and watching elephant gatherings and hatching turtles.
This sample honeymoon, staying in hand-picked, boutique hotels, gives an immersive insight into Sri Lanka but is no less romantic or private. You'll have your own private chauffeur guide as standard, to take all of the stress away.
Tell us all about your interests, your likes and dislikes, and we’ll design a bespoke honeymoon built completely around your own highlights and interests and our expertise.
You’ll be met on arrival by your private driver and head for your hotel in Sigiriya. On the way, you’ll stop to visit the Buddhist pilgrimage site of Dambulla Cave Temple with its opulent ancient murals, sweeping views and golden Buddha statue.
