Destination 1

Sri Lanka

4 nights

Discover the cultural and natural gems of Sri Lanka over the course of 5 memorable days.

Your tour of the 'Pearl of the Indian Ocean' begins in the vibrant capital of Colombo. Ancient temples and modern skyscrapers sit side by side, and bustling traditional markets remain popular in the age of modern-day malls. Next, savour the beauty of Kandy as you stroll through its pretty gardens and streets lined with colonial buildings.

Several cups of Ceylon tea await you at the famous tea plantations of Nuwara Eliya. Learn about the Sri Lankan tea trade, how it is cultivated, and sample more tea on a personalised tour of the region's tea estates.

After exploring the many charms of this beautiful island nation, it's time to head for the island paradise of the Maldives.

Destination 2

Maldives

7 nights

Maldives is a shimmering constellation of more than one thousand idyllic islands sprinkled among the sparkling waters of the Indian Ocean. With its sugary white sands, turquoise waters and cotton candy skies, it is truly heaven on earth.

Stay in an over water villa and be lulled to sleep by the sound of the ocean waves. Savour a range of local and international fare at world-class restaurants, and rejuvenate yourself with a spa session. Spend your day at the beach or go kayaking and snorkelling to marvel at colourful fish and corals.

Our experts will be glad to make personalised luxury accommodation recommendations for your Maldives and Sri Lanka holiday.
