Experience the very best of Sri Lanka plus four nights on the idyllic tropical islands of the Maldives

Highland landscape with tea estates

For those who want a relaxing holiday with lots of variety, this trip visits the essential highlights. We see ancient Buddhist cities, spice gardens, the Temple of the Tooth, giant rock fortresses, cave temples and botanical gardens, all of which are set amongst a verdant flora that only a tropical climate can produce. Sri Lanka is relatively small and there is plenty of time to relax before flying to Male and the Maldives. The beaches here are arguably some of the world's best, a perfect location to end a memorable trip, soaking up the sun and swimming in turquoise tropical waters.
