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.

Two nights at The Kandy House, which is a stunning heritage walauwa (mansion villa) dating back to 1804 and tastefully refurbished to exceptionally high standards.

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), 25-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 the island, and each villa contains a private garden and veranda with dining and sitting areas including a Maldivian swing. Although modern facilities are provided in the villas, utmost care is taken to ensure the resort remains environmentally friendly. The sister property, Banyan Tree Vabbinfaru, is a 5-minute, complimentary boat transfer away and this resort’s amenities and facilities are available throughout your stay at Angsana Ihuru, including dining venues, snorkelling around the magnificent house reef, daily Manta Ray feeding, and reef restoration programmes.
