Sri Lanka Honeymoons

Steeped in history with its imposing Buddhas and crumbling ancient cities, captivating Sri Lanka is also a world class beach destination with miles of powdery sand and indulgent spas.

We know Sri Lanka inside out and will use our insider knowledge to create an amazing honeymoon that you’ll never forget. We’ve hand-picked a small selection of our favourite, most romantic Sri Lanka resorts, all of which make incredible escapes for your first taste of wedded bliss. Many of these resorts also offer fabulous discounts or complimentary extras especially for honeymooners.

Sri Lanka is fast becoming one of the world’s top spa destinations, with extravagant retreats popping up all over the island. Spend your honeymoon savouring blissful couples’ massages and sipping Champagne as the sun goes down.

There’s plenty in Sri Lanka for thrill-seekers, too. Climb Mihintale’s shrine-dotted grand staircase for astounding jungle views; white-water raft through boulder-strewn rivers; and cycle through a landscape of rice fields, villages and ancient temples.

If you can’t decide between our  Sri Lanka resorts then why not split your stay between more than one? We offer ready-made options taking in unique resorts such as lakeside Kandy, the enticing cultural triangle and the hill country’s fragrant tea plantations. See the ‘Suggested Itineraries’ in our Indian Ocean brochure or ask one of our Personal Travel Experts. 

Why not combine your Sri Lanka honeymoon with another idyllic destination altogether? Popular combinations include Sri Lanka and Dubai and Sri Lanka and Maldives, but we’ll do our best to create any multi-centre honeymoon that takes your fancy.

When to travel
Sri Lanka is driest from November to March and July to August. The best offers are available during the UK’s summer months.

Important Travel information
When travelling to Sri Lanka you must apply for an ETA visa which allows entry into the country.  Names on the ETA must exactly match those appearing on your passport.  Therefore when booking a honeymoon in Sri Lanka, brides need to ensure that they book under their maiden name as they will not be able to apply for an ETA under their new married name.

Same-sex honeymoons
Please note that due to local laws and customs, same-sex honeymoons are not recommended in Sri Lanka. If you are unsure of the local customs and laws, feel free to call us so we can advise you on the best destinations for your honeymoon, or visit www.ilga.org.
