Children are looked after brilliantly too, with a lively kids’ club running activities all week, including a summer football academy that’s become a firm family favourite.

EXPERT VIEW - Kuramathi’s size is what sets it apart in the Maldives; there’s a real sense of exploring an island rather than just lying on one, and our travellers always comment on how much space they have to themselves - Upgrading to Dine Around All-Inclusive is well worth the extra spend; nine à la carte restaurants to choose from means dinner never feels repetitive across a longer stay - The house reef here is one of the best we’ve seen for snorkelling straight off the beach; no boat trip needed, just wade in and the coral and reef life do the rest - For families, the summer Campioni Soccer Academy is a brilliant touch; it keeps young football fans entertained for hours while parents actually get to relax DINING OPTIONS Full Board; All-Inclusive

FROM MIST-SHROUDED MOUNTAINS AND ANCIENT KINGDOMS TO GOLDEN BEACHES AND SERENE SANCTUARIES, THIS JOURNEY PROMISES A SEAMLESS BLEND OF ADVENTURE, DISCOVERY, AND RELAXATION - CURATED EXCLUSIVELY FOR TWO.

Day 1 / Arrival in Paradise

Days 5–7 / The Cultural Heart of Kandy

Days 9–11 / Into the Wild at Yala

Your Sri Lankan adventure begins the moment you step into the tranquil embrace of The Wallawwa, a lovingly restored colonial manor surrounded by lush tropical gardens. Unwind with a welcome drink infused with local flavours, then relax by the pool or indulge in a soothing spa treatment. Tonight, dine beneath the stars as you adjust to the gentle rhythm of island life.

Continue your journey to the W15 Hanthana Estate, a haven overlooking the Mahaweli River. Step into the island’s spiritual centre as you visit the Temple of the Tooth, where sacred rituals unfold in candlelit chambers. Stroll the fragrant Peradeniya Botanical Gardens, a masterpiece of tropical flora, and browse local markets. In the evening, witness the colour and rhythm of a traditional Kandyan dance, a living expression of Sri Lanka’s proud heritage.

Descend from the hills to the untamed southern coast and settle into Uga Chena Huts, a secluded luxury hideaway where the jungle meets the Indian Ocean. From your private cabin, listen to the rustle of palms and the distant call of peacocks. Twice-daily safaris in Yala National Park bring close encounters with elephants, crocodiles, and the park’s elusive leopards - one of the world’s highest concentrations. Evenings are for beachside cocktails and candlelit dinners beneath a canopy of stars.

Days 2–5 / Ancient Kingdoms & Wild Adventures

Days 11–13 / Coastal Bliss

Venture inland to the heart of the Cultural Triangle, where history whispers through stone and jungle. Your home for the next few days is the Uga Ulagalla, an elegant retreat of private pool villas set amidst rice paddies and forest. Embark on thrilling safaris through Wilpattu and Minneriya National Parks, where elephants roam freely and elusive leopards prowl in the shadows. Explore the awe-inspiring Sigiriya Rock Fortress, rising dramatically from the plains, and wander through the Dambulla Cave Temples, a treasure trove of ancient art and devotion. Between adventures, savour fine dining under the stars and unwind in your villa’s plunge pool, serenaded by the sounds of nature.

Days 7–9 / The Soul of Ceylon Tea Travel into the cool, mist-draped hills where the air is scented with jasmine and tea. At Ceylon Tea Trails, a collection of historic planter’s bungalows, you’ll experience colonial grace and personalized service. Walk through rolling plantations with a resident tea planter, learning the art of the perfect brew from leaf to cup. Sip your morning tea as the sun paints the valleys gold, then enjoy a gourmet picnic by a cascading waterfall or cycle through quiet mountain trails.

Your final days of pure relaxation await at Amanwella, a serene sanctuary on Sri Lanka’s golden south coast. Here, contemporary design meets the tranquil beauty of nature. Lounge on sun-drenched sands, swim in turquoise waters, or indulge in a couples’ spa ritual that draws on local healing traditions. For the adventurous, take a guided walk to nearby fishing villages or watch the sunset from a secluded cliff. Days 13–14 / Colonial Elegance in Galle Conclude your journey in timeless style at Amangalla, nestled within the walls of the historic Galle Fort. Wander through cobbled streets lined with art galleries, boutiques, and colonial architecture. Walk through the old ramparts to watch the sun sink into the Indian Ocean, a perfect finale to your Sri Lankan odyssey. As you prepare for your departure, reflect on two unforgettable weeks of discovery, indulgence, and connection - memories that will linger long after you’ve left the island’s shores.
