Sri Lanka is one of the most perfect destinations for anyone who seeks a memorable vacation with your loved ones. Ranging from the tropical climate, golden sandy beaches, world famous tea to the proud Sri Lankan culture and the warm hospitality of the friendly people, there is a myriad of reasons for you to visit Sri Lanka.

The gorgeous sandy beaches that this island is surrounded by are one of the best things about Sri Lanka. People from all over the world visit to explore these sun-kissed sandy coasts. Sri Lanka’s West coast is the most developed and the most tourist-oriented and has the largest concentration of hotels. Negombo is one of the modest beach towns on the West coast, just 10km away from the Bandaranayake International Airport and is the home to some of the most stunning beaches in the world. The beach town is dotted with many hotels surrounded by a range of beach activities including water sports, boat rides, fishing and beautiful hotels to stay with your loved ones.

Less developed than the West coast, the South coast offers more subtle pleasure and relaxation with the widest range of unspoilt golden beaches. Wildlife safaris, whale and dolphin watching, surfing and scuba diving are some of the main things to add to your must do list in South coast. Weligama, one of the bustling fishing towns, offers perfect surfing conditions for beginners to start their surf journey and is open for surfing throughout the year.

Another experience that you shouldn’t miss in Sri Lanka is its world famous tea. You can experience everything including tea plantation tours amid lush green sceneries, tea factory visits and witnessing how the world famous Ceylon tea is produced and experiencing a planter’s life in an estate bungalow when you visit hill country. Tea has become a part of the daily life for Sri Lankans and they drink on average three cups per day, so why not try different types of tea on your vacation to Sri Lanka including organic tea, flavoured tea and green tea and find out your favourite. 

Sigiriya is another place that you must add to your list in Sri Lanka, which is located in the heart of the island. This has been declared a world heritage site by UNESCO considering the uniqueness of Sigiriya and is known as the eighth wonder of the world. It is a rock fortress built by king Kassapa as his kingdom and is located 370 meters above sea level. Discover the ancient paintings on the Western face of the rock and the mirror wall with inscriptions and poems written by the visitors of Sigiriya throughout the years.
