Itinerary
-
Upon arrival at the airport, you’ll be personally welcomed and taken to your hotel on the coast of Negombo. Take some time to relax after the flight and enjoy your first taste of Sri Lanka. Tomorrow, your adventure really begins!
-
You’ll travel to Habarana, in the heart of Sri Lanka’s lush green countryside. A special moment awaits you along the way: at a local Buddhist monastery, you’ll receive a traditional blessing from a monk. A beautiful, symbolic start to your honeymoon. In the evening, something truly special is on the agenda: an exclusive private candlelit dinner in a hidden cave, surrounded by nature. It doesn’t get any more romantic than this!
The next morning, you have the option to take a hot-air balloon ride over the jungle, rice paddies, and lakes. Afterward, you’ll explore the impressive rock fortress of Sigiriya, one of Sri Lanka’s most iconic landmarks.
-
From the impressive cave temples of Dambulla, you’ll continue on to Kandy, the former royal capital of Sri Lanka. Here, you’ll visit the famous Temple of the Tooth, where, according to legend, a tooth of the Buddha is kept. A fascinating introduction to the island’s religious traditions. You’ll stay at an exclusive resort high in the hills, with stunning views of the green valleys. The ideal place to enjoy nature and tranquility together.
-
Welcome to the land of world-famous Ceylon tea! Around Hatton, vast tea plantations paint the hills a vibrant green, and you’ll discover Sri Lanka’s colonial heritage. During a visit to a tea plantation, you’ll learn how this famous tea is picked and processed. And of course, a tasting is a must!
You'll stay in a beautiful historic country house, surrounded by tea fields and green hills. Take a walk through the plantations, enjoy a relaxing afternoon tea, or simply admire the view. Two wonderful days to enjoy together.
-
You’ll swap the hills for wildlife in Yala National Park. You can choose to reach your next stop by plane or by transfer. In the southeast of the island, where the landscape becomes drier and more rugged, you’ll stay at a lodge on the edge of the park.
You’ll go on safaris with experienced rangers, both in the morning and in the afternoon, when the animals are most active. Elephants, deer, crocodiles, and—with a little luck—leopards are all part of this vast area. Your stay is also an experience in itself. You’ll spend the night in an exclusive safari lodge nestled between the jungle and the ocean, where your own private plunge pool invites you to relax after an adventurous day.
-
After all the experiences of the past few days, it’s time to relax and unwind. Tangalle awaits on the southern coast of Sri Lanka, with golden-yellow sandy beaches, swaying palm trees, and the Indian Ocean as a backdrop.
You’ll stay at the stylish Amanwella, where you’ll enjoy complete privacy in a luxurious suite with a private pool. Spend your days at the beach, enjoy a relaxing spa treatment, or explore the area on a sunset boat ride. The perfect way to end a special honeymoon!

Our highlight of the trip
“Dinner deep inside the caves of Habarana remains, without a doubt, the most memorable and romantic moment of this trip. Not because of luxury in the traditional sense, but because of the unique setting among the rock walls, far away from everything.”
Emilia Pycke, Luxury Travel Advisor
