Sri Lanka is a magical destination for a family holiday, offering a wonderful choice of activities, beaches, experiences and accommodation.
Whether you are simply looking for a beach holiday or would like to combine this with other adventures and cultural experiences, we can tailor-make the perfect family holiday for you. You can either choose to start on the beach before moving on to explore the interior, or do it the other way around.
The key point to note about family holidays in Sri Lanka is that this is a place for families who want to experience things together. Comprehensive kids’ clubs are hard to find. But, for lifetime memories of an amazing family holiday with beaches, wildlife, culture and adventure – Sri Lanka is hard to beat!
We have divided the country in to various different areas, encompassing beach (on west coast – near Colombo, south and east coasts), the Hill Country and the famous Cultural Triangle.
Here are a few highlights and ideas to whet your appetite. Much depends on how many days you wish to spend in Sri Lanka, the age of your children, your budget and how much exploring you want to do.
Please note that Sri Lanka requires all visitors to have a valid visa for entry to the country. These can be obtained on arrival at the international airport or online prior to travel.
Please call one of our travel specialists on 020 8968 0501 to discuss your dates and requirements or simply send us an email outlining your wishes.
If you don’t think you would want a 2 to 3 hour drive immediately after your arrival at Colombo airport, we would suggest a night at The Wallawwa before your journey to Sri Lanka’s south coast, which is well served with family friendly resorts and wonderful family villas.
