Sri Lanka honeymoons have got the lot: gorgeous landscapes and fascinating culture, plenty of adventure but an other-worldly tranquility, and the kind of unspoiled palm-fringed beaches you imagine paradise to be made of. In other words, everything you need to start a blissful new life together. Whether you hunger for jungles and rice paddies, are passionate about history and architecture, are drawn to the ocean with its dolphins and whales, feel inclined to deep contemplation, or long for sporty thrills - or all of the above at the same time - this small country is abundant with possibilities. Sri Lanka also boasts stunning boutique hotels breathing new life into old colonial mansions, evoking a way of life which is both wildly romantic, and effortlessly refined.

Sri Lanka Honeymoons Guide

Practical advice and inspiration to help you prepare for your holiday

What can you expect on Sri Lanka honeymoons that you won't find anywhere else?


Sri Lanka’s idyllic combination of culture, beaches and nature makes for a perfect luxury honeymoon destination; think crumbling ancient cities, seemingly endless coastline and wild, untamed jungle.

To only do a fly and flop here would be to somewhat miss the point of Sri Lanka; it's all about getting back to nature and exploring this tiny gem of a country's ethereal beauty, steeped in Kipling-esque romance and mystery.

The Cultural Triangle and tea plantations in Sri Lanka's heartland are home to several UNESCO World Heritage Sites and give a fascinating glimpse into the rich cultural heritage. Afternoon tea on one of the plantations, complete with cucumber sandwiches and a selection of teas (or a G&T if you're feeling the need) is colonial bliss.

Sri Lanka's national parks are home to some of the planet's most magnificent wildlife and would-be David Attenboroughs will revel in the opportunity of seeing leopards, elephants and bears in the wild. The jungle safari camps are also second to none, with a small army of staff on hand to ensure your honeymoon experience is a magical one.

Speaking of accommodation, the selection of small, intimate boutique hotels throughout Sri Lanka is perfect for honeymooners. Picture watching the sun set, drink in hand, as you lounge in your private pool listening to the birds sing in the surrounding forest. Heaven. The tropical jungle of the heartland gives way to a rugged coastline in the south with palm-fringed beaches and turquoise seas; perfect for some serious relaxation to finish off your Sri Lankan honeymoon.
