After all the excitement of your Big Day, you’ll probably be desperate to enjoy a spot of peace and quiet somewhere magical, ideally with palm trees and a serene sunset view in the mix, and just let the dust settle on your nuptials. You may also, however, want to line up some incredible experiences for later in your honeymoon, to make those precious first weeks of married life just that little bit more memorable – which is where Sri Lanka really comes into its own. Not only does the island hold some of Asia’s loveliest beaches, it also offers a wealth of romantic experiences, from leopard spotting safaris to jungle treks, waterfall swimming and explorations of forgotten ancient sites.

Whether you’re planning a summer or winter wedding, our consultants will be able to help you design a trip you’ll remember forever.
