Sri Lanka holidays & tours

Ancient palace ruins and beautiful beaches on our holidays in Sri Lanka

Fancy relaxing on idyllic white-sand beaches, swimming in warm blue waters and exploring ancient temples? Then you will love our holidays to Sri Lanka in the Indian Ocean.

Gorgeous secluded beaches beckon for chilled-out days on your holidays in Sri Lanka, but if you’re feeling adventurous, there are a wealth of Buddhist monasteries, temples and statues to explore. Make time on our Sri Lanka tours to visit the towering Lion Rock Citadel, Sigiriya Rock Fortress - an ancient moated royal city built around a giant rock, and a treasure trove of art. Another sightseeing highlight on our Sri Lanka holidays is the Temple of the Tooth, believed to house the precious sacred tooth of Buddha.
