This Sri Lanka vacation is designed to be taken at a slower pace and isn’t packed with sightseeing. Spending longer in each place, and visiting only 3 main locations, will allow for just the right amount of exploration and activity, coupled with ample time for relaxation. The itinerary includes a stay in a tea plantation, a safari, as well as a beach stay.
After a recovery night at the beautiful Wallawwa Hotel near the airport, you will head off to the luxurious Camelia Hills in the picturesque hill country region of Sri Lanka. Expect fertile tea plantations, spectacular views, traditional homes, thick forests and walking trails. You will also get to visit a tea factory and learn more about the art of making Sri Lankan tea. From here you will embark on a safari whilst staying at Uga Chena Hills. This area blends tropical beaches and exotic wildlife, a unique location bordering the Yala National Park. With a leopard density reportedly higher than anywhere on the planet, and a varied landscape from dense forests to moist wetlands, you will experience Yala on safari drives. It is also a place considered highly sacred by Buddhists and Hindus alike, who flock here to meditate, making it the perfect place from which to enjoy the peace and tranquility of a ‘slow’ safari. Further this relaxation during your beach stay in Bentota Beach. Rock Villa is a well-preserved and private 170-year-old ancestral heritage villa that harks back to the charm of old-world Ceylon. It sits on 2.5 acres of lush garden, home to birds and monkeys. In the environs of an untouched beach, it’s a piece of paradise blending Sri Lankan hospitality, heritage, and architecture. It’s the perfect place to slow down and relax.
