Sri Lanka is an island paradise with something to suit even the most demanding of tourists. It has a tropical climate, making it an ideal destination all year round. Oh and there are elephants too, lots of elephants.
Sri Lanka’s main draw is its unbelievable array of scenery. From white sandy beaches to dramatic rocky highlands, you’ll be blown away by what the island has to offer.
Sri Lanka’s coastal retreats are perfect for those wanting to soak up some tropical sun, particularly in the more established resorts around the capital Colombo. The place to head for a truly unspoilt paradise is the east coast. Previously inaccessible due to the country’s long-running civil war, the east is now a burgeoning, friendly, and great value tourist destination.
Though don’t be fooled into thinking that Sri Lanka is just a country for sight-seers and beach bums. Adrenaline junkies are well catered for with mountain climbing, diving, windsurfing and white water rafting.
