Honeymoons

Sri Lanka & Maldives

Castaway island picnic, Angsana Velavaru, Maldives

Our Paradise Islands Tour is a 15-day taster Sri Lanka and Maldives holiday for the perfect honeymoon!

Acclimatise at eco-friendly Heritance Kandalama, a design icon, with the opportunity of exploring the ancient cities of Sri Lanka’s Cultural Triangle and to experience a jeep safari to see elephants. Head south to The Kandy House, a stunning mansion villa on the outskirts of Kandy, the capital of the last Sinhalese kingdom, before continuing south through the verdant tea plantations of the Hill Country, spending two nights as guests of Ceylon Tea Trails, the world’s first luxury tea resort. Leave Sri Lanka for a relaxing and indulgent time in Maldives at Angsana Ihuru, a top-tier spa resort, which has a house reef good for snorkelling and great dive sites close by.

The accommodation is a combination of an iconic hotel, colonial-era mansion villas, a former tea planter’s bungalow and an exquisite Maldivian island retreat.

Remember that all of our holidays to Sri Lanka and Maldives are truly tailor made with no set dates, accommodation, duration, routes or visits, so each holiday is unique and specially created to your very own interests and requirements.

Continue to Kandy, one of the principal points of the Cultural Triangle.

Two nights at The Kandy House, which is a stunning heritage walauwa (mansion villa) dating back to 1803 and tastefully refurbished to exceptionally high standards.

Experience the Buddhist puja (blessing ceremony) at the Temple of the Tooth, which houses Sri Lanka’s most revered religious relic.

Guided walking tour of Kandy, which will take in the Hindu temples, the lake and the municipal market.

Visit the beautifully kept and well-presented Peradeniya Botanic Gardens.

Enjoy a performance of the famous Kandyan Dancers and Drummers, with a fire-walking finale.

Leave Kandy and drive through Sri Lankan ‘jungle’ to the Bogawantalawa valley in the western Hill Country.

You will stay as guests for two nights of Ceylon Tea Trails, the world’s first tea resort, which incorporates five luxuriously upgraded plantation bungalows.

Facilities and services include: swimming pool, tennis court, conservatory, summerhouse, sun deck, garden dining, library and indoor games, and guided walks.

After a leisurely morning, drop down to the airport.

One night at an antique colonial manor house, nestled in acres of beautifully manicured gardens, before your flight to Maldives.

On arrival in Malé (Maldives), 20-minute speedboat transfer to Angsana Ihuru for five nights.

Surrounded by dazzling white talc sand and the bluest of waters teeming with astonishing soft corals and fish sparkling in brilliant colours around the stunning house reef, the exquisite beauty of this 5-star tropical haven is yours to enjoy. The thatched-roofed villas are well-spaced around the circumference of Ihuru and each villa contains a private garden and veranda with dining and sitting areas. Although modern facilities are provided in the villas, utmost care is taken to ensure the resort remains environmentally friendly.
