Luxury Sri Lanka Family Culture and Beach
Tea, trains, culture, and beaches – get the most from this wonderful island on this fun-filled family itinerary. Experience Sri Lanka’s fascinating culture in the Buddhist hill city of Kandy, trek through the stunning scenery of the Hill Country and chill out at a blissful coastal retreat on Sri Lanka’s south coast.
The journey truly begins whilst en route to Kandy with a stop at the Elephant Freedom Project, offering the children meaningful interactions with rescued captive elephants. Become true culture vultures in Kandy as you explore this sacred city on a private city tour stopping at the Royal Botanical Garden of Peradeniya. The Temple of the Tooth will be a highlight. Located in the royal palace complex of the former Kingdom of Kandy, the temple houses the relic of the tooth the Buddha. A stay at Kings Pavilion will offer solace after the busy days sightseeing. Next the family will board a vintage train for a scenic ride through the island’s picturesque Tea Country, staying at Ceylon Tea Trails. Discover the intricate art of making tea, venture on walks and bike rides through the lakes, and mountains, go kayaking or play a fun game of tennis. The final stop will be a beach stay at Cape Weligama, a luxury clifftop resort with panoramic views, located just a few miles from Weligama in southern Sri Lanka. Here the family can chill together by the pool, or head to the water sports center which offers cycling trips, surfing, whale watching and diving. Galle's 17th-century fort – a regional highlight – is a 40-minute drive away.
