Formerly known as Ceylon, Sri Lanka (meaning Resplendent Land) is one of the largest islands in the Indian Ocean. It has 25,000 square miles of tropical beaches, breathtaking scenery, monasteries and temples, offering a magical combination of history, culture and superb scenery.

Sri Lanka is only a few hundred miles north of the equator and enjoys a tropical climate, with very long hot dry spells.

Local buses, private mini-buses and cars with guides are available in town and we suggest you consult our on-site staff for further information.
