Overview

Begin your two-week luxury journey in Sri Lanka with a warm welcome at Colombo International Airport, where your private chauffeur ushers you to the elegant Maniumpathy in the capital for a restful first night. The adventure then heads to Water Garden Sigiriya: en-route you’ll meet the gentle giants of Pinnawala Elephant Orphanage before ascending Sigiriya Lion Rock to watch the sun set over the Cultural Triangle. The following day reveals the ruined grandeur of Polonnaruwa and a sunset jeep safari across Minneriya National Park’s elephant-rich plains.

Continuing south, pause at the magnificent Dambulla Cave Temple on the way to Kandy, where a private city tour and a tranquil stay at the historic Kandy House await—followed by a leisurely day to simply enjoy its serenity. Next, wind into the emerald hills of “Little England,” Nuwara Eliya: tour a working tea estate, sip a freshly brewed cup of Ceylon, and stroll around Gregory Lake amid colonial charm and cascading waterfalls. From here travel by scenic rail to Ella to hike Little Adam’s Peak, pose on Nine-Arch Bridge, and cool off at Ravana Falls.

Your route then sweeps from misty highlands to Yala’s wild savannahs for an evening leopard safari with an expert naturalist. After a night close to nature, continue to the coastal heritage city of Galle; wander the 17th-century Dutch Fort and watch the sun set from its ramparts. On day thirteen drive north, sampling Colombo’s vibrant cityscape before settling in beach-fringed Negombo for your final night. With memories of ancient citadels, tea-scented hills, untamed wildlife, and colonial lanes, you depart from Colombo enriched by the essence of Sri Lanka’s luxury and legend.
