    Travel north to Sigiriya, at the heart of Sri Lanka’s Cultural Triangle. Begin with a peaceful sunset kayaking experience, gliding across water as the sky glows pink behind the jungle hills.

    The following days invite exploration and adventure: climb the legendary Sigiriya Rock Fortress, complete with ancient frescoes and sweeping views, and descend into the cool shade of the Dambulla Cave Temples, their golden Buddhas carved into rock.

    In the afternoon, set out on a thrilling wildlife safari, watching elephants, monkeys, and water birds move freely through the wilderness. Return each evening to your resort’s comfort, where you can enjoy family dinners under the stars

    Leave the ancient heartland behind and journey east to Passikudah, where shallow turquoise waters meet long stretches of golden sand. Your home here, Karpaha Sands, offers effortless barefoot luxury and family-friendly warmth.

    Days are yours to shape – swim in the calm bay, cycle through fishing villages, or learn the secrets of Sri Lankan cuisine in a relaxed cooking class. Active families can join a guided hike to Kudumbimalai Rock or take to the water by kayak, while those craving rest can simply unwind beneath the palms. Evenings bring beachside dinners, glowing lanterns, and the sound of waves rolling gently onto the beach.

    At your elegant hotel, Jetwing Kandy Gallery, evenings are for quiet reflection. Swim, play a family game, or simply take in the lights of the city flickering across the water.

    Your final days unfold in the rolling hills of Rosyth Estate, a working tea and spice plantation surrounded by forest and songbirds. Take a guided walk through the estate to learn the art of tea-making, from leaf to cup. Visit local schools supported by the estate and, if possible, share a simple breakfast with students, a moment of genuine cultural connection.

    Spend your last full day exactly as you wish: relax by the pool, join a family cookery class, or explore the countryside by bike. Evenings here are defined by home-cooked meals, the laughter of new friends, and the soft glow of lanterns across the valley.
