Upon arrival at the Bandaranaike International Airport, you will be warmly greeted and transferred to your hotel in Colombo. You can use this time to rest after the plane journey, take a stroll around the hotel, and just enjoy the pool. To cap off the day, you can enjoy a quiet dinner, which will signal the start of your romantic getaway.

Spend the first day of your Sri Lankan adventure exploring Colombo and getting a taste of what it is all about by visiting the local boutiques and gem stores for some souvenir shopping. Couples can make their first day even more special by indulging in an Ayurveda massage and enjoying a romantic dinner featuring their first taste of Sri Lankan cooking.

Depart Colombo and journey toward Sigiriya with a visit to the Pinnawala Elephant Orphanage along the way. Here, you can observe elephants in their daily routines, watch them bathe in the river, and even feed them under expert guidance. Arrive at your hotel in Sigiriya and spend the evening at leisure, taking in the serene surroundings of the cultural triangle

Take an optional hot air balloon ride through Sigiriya and Dambulla, watching the sun rise over the landscape. It’s quite magical, from up high, to see ancient rock formations set against greenery. This afternoon, take a jeep safari through Minneriya National Park, where you’re likely to spot resident herds of elephants, wild deer, and colourful birdlife in the park’s lakes and plains. Return to your hotel for leisure time and a romantic dinner.

Get up early and climb Sigiriya Rock Fortress for the best sunrise view from the ancient gardens and frescoes, a moment never to be forgotten. We then proceed to Kandy with an en-route stop at a Spice Garden, where we learn more about different local spices, aromatic herbs, and Ayurvedic remedies. It may also include a rejuvenating head-and-shoulder massage. Later, watch a traditional cultural dance performance in the evening. The rhythmic music and colourful costumes of Sri Lanka will leave you speechless with wonder.

Visit the highlights of Kandy today, starting at the Temple of the Sacred Tooth Relic, one of the most hallowed sites of Buddhist worship on the island. See the lush flora and giant orchids of the Peradeniya Botanical Gardens. In the afternoon, go shopping in local markets, where you can find gems, batiks, wood carvings, and silk. Return to your hotel for a non-agitated evening and a possible quiet stroll on the riverside.

Take a breathtaking train from Kandy to Nuwara Eliya, meandering through emerald tea plantations, misty valleys, and cascading waterfalls. After arriving, check in to your hotel and enjoy the cool hill country climate for the rest of the afternoon. Conclude your day with a candlelit dinner amidst serene surroundings and spectacular mountain views.

Take a guided walk through the rolling tea hills, exploring the tea plantation and factory, early in the day. Understand the tea-harvesting process and sample freshly brewed Ceylon tea while capturing panoramic views of the lush landscape. In the afternoon, it’s ideal to go for a romantic stroll around Gregory Lake or explore a charming colonial town to capture memories amid the serene highlands.

Drive to Galle, a fort city on the southern coast, and stopover to see Galle Fort. Take a leisurely walk along narrow winding streets lined with colonial buildings, quaint shops, and cafes. Later, take a private wooden boat trip down the tranquil Madhu River to observe the peaceful mangroves and birdlife, one of those ideal moments for reflection and quiet time together.

Today is all about relaxation on the golden beaches of Galle or the southern coast: sunbathing, catching a tan in the sun, swimming, or indulging in optional water sports. Treat yourself to a rejuvenating spa session or have a private picnic overlooking the ocean. Later in the day, take an evening beach walk, enjoy a sunset view, or dine by candlelight under the stars.

After breakfast, transfer to Bandaranaike International Airport for departure. Think of a journey of romance, adventure, and unforgettable experiences as you return home with lifelong memories.
