Sample local delights in an authentic Kamatha meal, visit the fascinating Temple of the Sacred Tooth Relic and wander through the oldest botanical garden on the island.
Moving further south, immerse yourself in the age-old tradition of tea cultivation, and finally land on the pristine beaches at the southern tip of Sri Lanka.

Wander through Colombo on foot, and conclude your journey in the luxurious and private getaway of The Wallawwa boutique hotel.

Five scenic private charter flights aboard a Cessna 208 Caravan or Amphibian reveal Sri Lanka from the sky—lush hills, tea fields and coastline unroll below. These flights shave off nearly 20 hours of driving, adding time where it matters most: on the ground, in the moment.
Your journey flows effortlessly with a dedicated English-speaking guide at your side. Every transfer, booking and bottle of water is taken care of. All you have to do is follow your curiosity—we’ll handle the rest, from door to door and sky to sea.
Climb Sigiriya at sunrise. Wander sacred temples in Anuradhapura and Kandy. Sit down to a Kamatha dinner under the stars, deep in a rice paddy. Opt for a safari among wild Asian elephants. This is cultural immersion—crafted, not crowded. This is travel for the spiritually enthused.
Rest easy in places that stay with you. Think boutique beachfront villas, restored heritage bungalows with personal butler service, and serene highland retreats. Every stay is handpicked for its charm, service, and sense of place. And everything is included, of course.
Float into the highlands and into history. It’s an age-old tradition that needs no introduction or explanation. At Ceylon Tea Trails, follow the journey from leaf to cup, then retreat to your bungalow for a hike, a massage, or simply the view. It’s serenity, steeped in story.
Unwind at Amanwella on Sri Lanka’s southern coast, where golden sands and ocean-facing suites with private plunge pools invite slower, quieter days by the sea.

Upon arrival, a comfortable ground transfer brings you to the charming Water Garden Sigiriya, your serene base for the next two nights nestled in the heart of Sri Lanka’s Cultural Triangle.
Rise early for an unforgettable pre-dawn drive to the iconic Sigiriya Rock Fortress. Walk through the meticulously landscaped Royal Gardens and ascend towards the summit where only ruins of the royal palace now remain. A visit to the fresco gallery with its ancient paintings of the King’s maids in waiting and the Mirror Wall should also not be missed.
Return to your hotel for a hearty breakfast before enjoying a leisurely afternoon, or opt for an exhilarating safari to spot Asian elephant in the nearby Minneriya or Kaudulla national parks, or Hurulu Forest Reserve.
After a relaxing breakfast, set off on a scenic one‑hour drive to Thirappane where you’ll check in at Uga Ulagalla, a luxurious boutique retreat on a sprawling estate that blends nostalgic charm with modern comforts. Later, venture out to explore the ruins of Anuradhapura, an ancient city steeped in history and spirituality that dates back millennia.
Enjoy a tranquil morning breakfast surrounded by the expansive gardens at Uga Ulagalla before spending the day at your own pace. Whether you choose to relax amid the lush scenery or engage in a curated in‑house experience, the day promises relaxation and a deeper insight into Sri Lanka’s rich culture.
As the evening approaches, savour a memorable ‘Kamatha’ dinner at a table set in a rice paddy, where traditional flavours are reimagined and presented with a contemporary twist. These thoughtful multi-course meals incorporate vegetables harvested at Uga Ulagalla’s organic farm, lake fish and free-range meats sourced locally, with traditional breads and old-world rice, the signature crop of Uga Ulagalla.
Begin your day with breakfast before transferring to the domestic airport for a private charter flight from Anuradhapura to Kandy’s scenic Victoria Reservoir.
Upon landing, you’ll be transferred to Kandy on a one-hour drive. Explore the Temple of the Sacred Tooth Relic — a UNESCO World Heritage site — and then continue to the serene W15 Hanthana Estate, shrouded in misty hills.
Take your time this morning with a leisurely breakfast, then let the serene atmosphere of the Hanthana hills rejuvenate you. Whether partaking in in‑house activities, enjoying a walk from your bungalow or simply soaking in the panoramic views, this day is all about relaxation in tranquil surroundings.
After breakfast, set off on a short drive to the famed Peradeniya Royal Botanic Garden, where a vibrant collection of tropical flora awaits.
Next, transfer to Victoria Reservoir to board your charter flight to Hatton’s Castlereagh Reservoir. Upon landing, the tea bungalow team will welcome you to Ceylon Tea Trails — a luxurious retreat set among rolling tea plantations in the highlands.
Begin with a fresh breakfast and join a guided tea experience tour at Ceylon Tea Trails. Follow in the footsteps of old Ceylon planters, witness traditional tea plucking and processing, and enjoy a tasting session that reveals the rich flavours of locally grown tea. The day’s activities are designed to immerse you in the island’s heritage and culinary traditions.
After breakfast, prepare for a scenic air transfer from Hatton to Koggala or Dickwella on a private charter flight. From there, continue by road to Tangalle, where Amanwella awaits on a peaceful stretch of Sri Lanka’s southern coast. Settle into this contemporary beachfront retreat and ease into the rhythm of the ocean for the next three nights.
Wake to breakfast at Amanwella and spend the day entirely at leisure. Relax beside the ocean, retreat to your private plunge pool, or venture out to nearby Hiriketiya Bay, known for its warm waters and laid-back surf culture. For a different perspective, opt for Amanwella’s floating lounge experience on Mawella Lagoon, best enjoyed at sunrise or sunset.
Another day to slow down at Amanwella. Swim, unwind on the beach, or simply take in the stillness of the south coast from your sea-facing suite. This is time set aside for rest, with space for spontaneous discoveries along the shoreline if the mood strikes.
After breakfast, leave Tangalle for Galle and explore the historic Dutch Fort on a guided walk through its storied streets and ramparts. Continue to Koggala or Dickwella for your private charter flight back to Colombo, before transferring to Kotugoda for your final night at The Wallawwa, a gracious colonial manor set within tropical gardens.
