Coastal Finale
The journey begins gently, with a smooth arrival and time to settle in, before leading you into the cultural heart of Sri Lanka. Here, iconic World Heritage sites, historic landmarks, and encounters with the island’s rich spiritual traditions await.
The experience then deepens in nature, with safari adventures, jungle landscapes, and remarkable wildlife encounters, before the pace slows once more in the highlands among tea plantations, mist-covered mountains, and colonial elegance.
The journey concludes along the coast, where the focus turns to relaxation, refined gastronomy, and ocean-side experiences in an exclusive setting.
Experience Sri Lanka’s wildlife up close in some of the country’s most renowned national parks. Accompanied by expert naturalist guides, you may encounter elephants in the wild, abundant birdlife, and—if fortune favours—leopards in their natural habitat. Safaris are conducted at a relaxed pace and thoughtfully adapted to the best conditions of the day.
Sri Lanka is a land shaped by over 2,000 years of recorded history. Throughout the journey, you will visit some of the island’s most significant sites, where ancient temples, ruined cities, and sacred monuments bear witness to former kingdoms and living traditions. Each visit is guided by knowledgeable experts who bring context, stories, and history vividly to life.
In Sri Lanka’s central highlands, a completely different landscape unfolds. Mist-covered mountains, manicured tea estates, and a cooler climate create a serene contrast to the coast and the jungle. Here, you stay in historic planter’s bungalows and gain insight into the journey of tea from leaf to cup, all within an atmosphere defined by tranquillity and understated elegance.
One of the most memorable experiences of the journey is the train ride through the highlands, where the landscape unfolds slowly in a succession of deep valleys, cascading waterfalls, and lush green slopes. It is as much an experience as it is a means of travel—offering time to truly absorb the natural beauty of Sri Lanka.
The journey concludes along Sri Lanka’s southern coast, where the focus is on relaxation, the ocean, and refined gastronomy. Here, there is time to enjoy beachside living, beautiful sunsets, and exclusive dining experiences—an elegant and fitting finale to a richly rewarding journey.
