Whether it’s the ancient rock fortress of Sigiriya or the many ancient Hindu and Buddhist temples which are located around the island, there is loads to see and do in this exotic country, with nine national parks for you to explore.

It’s also a popular destination for honeymooners who love the many sandy beaches overlooking the Indian Ocean, and the opportunity to explore beneath the waves with multiple scuba diving and snorkelling sites.

The city of Colombo itself has undergone a major renaissance since the turn of the century, with new smart hotels, rooftop bars, fine dining restaurants and coffee shops helping to drive a booming tourism industry.

A city of contrasts, you’ll find influences from Portugal, the Netherlands and Britain in everything from the architecture to the food in Colombo, with ancient history sitting right next to modern skyscrapers and shopping malls.

Bandaranaike International Airport is located about 22 miles north of Colombo, in the suburb of Negombo, and we’d advise arranging onward transportation before your arrival as public transport options are limited at this time.
