Sri Lanka Honeymoons
Experience an idyllic honeymoon in Sri Lanka, a land of diverse landscapes and cultural treasures. From pristine beaches to ancient temples, discover a wealth of activities for an unforgettable journey together.
Visiting Sri Lanka for your honeymoon is a dreamy choice that promises a perfect blend of romance, adventure, and cultural exploration. This tear-shaped island in the Indian Ocean offers an array of experiences that will make your honeymoon unforgettable.
Start your journey in Colombo, the vibrant capital, where you can explore historic sites like the Independence Memorial Hall and indulge in some retail therapy at Colombo City Centre. For a taste of local cuisine, don't miss the bustling markets and street food stalls.
Kandy is the cultural heart of Sri Lanka. Visit the Temple of the Sacred Tooth Relic, where you can witness a rich Buddhist heritage. The picturesque Peradeniya Botanical Gardens are perfect for a leisurely stroll as newlyweds. For a serene experience, take a scenic train ride from Kandy to Ella, passing through lush tea plantations and rolling hills.
Ella is a nature lover's paradise. Hike up to Ella Rock for panoramic views or visit the famous Nine Arch Bridge.
Visiting the tea plantations on your honeymoon is like stepping into a lush, romantic dreamscape. As you explore the rolling hills of Sri Lanka's tea country, hand in hand, you'll be captivated by the emerald green fields stretching as far as the eye can see. The aroma of fresh tea leaves and the gentle rustle of the breeze create a serene atmosphere that's perfect for couples. Take a guided tour to learn about the tea-making process, pluck tea leaves together, and enjoy a steaming cup of world-renowned Ceylon tea while gazing at panoramic vistas.
No trip to Sri Lanka is complete without exploring the stunning beaches. Head south to Mirissa for whale watching, or visit the nearby Weligama Beach for some thrilling surfing lessons. Picture yourselves paddling out together into the warm Indian Ocean, catching gentle waves in serene spots like Weligama or Mirissa. Whether you're both beginners, learning to balance on the same board, or experienced surfers riding the breaks in Arugam Bay, the shared experience of riding waves in this tropical paradise. The tranquil beaches of Unawatuna and Tangalle are perfect for unwinding and taking long walks along the shore.
For a dose of history, visit the ancient city of Galle, a UNESCO World Heritage site. Wander through the charming streets of the Galle Fort, which boasts colonial-era architecture, quaint shops, and picturesque cafes. Sunset from the fort walls is a breath-taking experience.
Explore the lush rainforests of Sinharaja and embark on a wildlife safari in Yala National Park to spot leopards, elephants, and a myriad of bird species.
