Deep South Blue 08 Days 07 Nights

What to Expect

Sri Lanka is home to a very unique collection of beaches & beach properties. As an Island surrounded by the Indian ocean, the turquoise blue waters in a beach of your choice is to die for any time of the year. Travelers from around the world gather here in Sri Lanka specially during the winter season when the shores are calm the winds are cooler and the relaxation is everything you’ve wanted during this holiday.

Your journey has an amazing collection of accommodation. Starting from Negombo Beach which is also well known for being a fishing village is where you start. Kill the jetlag and move to the Galle Fort. Even though the property we’ve selected here doesn’t have a direct beach access, the view here is impeccable. Coupled with colonial architecture and contemporary luxury, 2 nights here exploring the contrasting cultures of the south coast is all packed together. All this followed by true relaxation at the Beach Resort. Slow paced beach resort combining true culture with Sri Lankan traditions.

Your holiday in Sri Lanka wouldn’t be complete without a wildlife experience. So we’ve coupled your holiday with a day trip to Yala where a safari will do justice. The experience of Tea is still available even though you are on the coastal routes. The Handunugoda Tea Factory which is the only tea factory located very close to the beach is also included along with a cinnamon experience and various other experiences. Remember to check out our dining recommendations and speak to us should you want to further tailor this experience.
