Honeymoon Tours in Sri Lanka
Romantic 8-Day Sri Lanka Honeymoon Tour
Bandaranaike International Airport (CMB), Katunayake, Sri Lanka
Why Sri Lanka Works for a Honeymoon
- Beaches: from the calm shores of Bentota to the whale-watching coast at Mirissa, you can relax, swim, or try water sports. See our beach tours.
- Hill country: Nuwara Eliya and Ella offer cool air, tea plantations, waterfalls and scenic train rides.
- Culture: visit temples, ancient cities and the cultural sites around Kandy and Sigiriya. Take a look at our cultural tours.
- Wildlife: go on a safari at Yala or Minneriya to see elephants and, with luck, a leopard. See our wildlife tours.
- Food: fresh seafood, spicy curries and tropical fruit, which you can enjoy on the beach or at local restaurants.
A Sample Honeymoon Route
Many couples split their trip between the coast, the hills and the cultural sites, for example:
- Arrival and beach: a few nights on the west or south coast to rest after your flight
- Hill country: two to three nights around Ella or Nuwara Eliya
- Culture and wildlife: a night or two near Sigiriya or a safari at Yala
- Final beach stay: relax before your flight home
This is a guide only, and we adjust the route, hotels and number of nights to suit you.
Romantic Places and Experiences
- Sunrise on Pidurangala: climb the rock next to Sigiriya together and watch the sun come up over the forest and the Lion Rock.
- The train from Kandy to Ella: reserved seats through tea estates, waterfalls and misty hills, one of the island’s best-loved journeys.
- Tea country: cool evenings in Nuwara Eliya or Ella, a night in a tea-estate bungalow and a boat ride on Gregory Lake.
- A private safari: your own jeep in Yala to look for leopards and elephants, early in the morning or late in the afternoon.
- Dinner on the beach: many hotels on the south and west coast can set a candlelit table on the sand. Tell us and we arrange it with your hotel.
- Adam’s Peak at dawn: a night climb of more than 5,000 steps to see the sunrise from the sacred summit, in the season from December to May.
- Kandy Esala Perahera: if you travel in July or August, the procession of lit-up elephants, dancers and drummers.
- Something active: white-water rafting at Kitulgala or a surf lesson at Weligama. See more thrills in Sri Lanka.
- A cooking class: learn to make rice and curry together in a village home or a spice garden.
We can add any of these to your route. Tell us your dates and what you would like, and we send you a plan and a price.
