So you reached that stage in your wedding planning when you need to think about that all important honeymoon destination! If you are looking for an exotic island getaway full of sun, surf and sand or even a journey deep within mist shrouded mountains, then Sri Lanka is an ideal choice. In this enchanting island in South Asia you will find some truly magical hideaways along with honeymoon hotels in Sri Lanka that provide the perfect setting in which to celebrate your love.
If you love nature and are looking for seclusion amidst the mountains, then Sri Lanka’s hill country is ideal. Kandy and Nuwara Eliya are amongst the favourite destinations for honeymooners with breathtaking natural beauty, colonial charm and colourful culture combining to provide an unforgettable holiday. However, another destination that is becoming quite popular and one which offers more seclusion is Ella which is also sometimes referred to as the country’s ‘highest village’ due to its high elevation amidst the mountains. Surrounded by tea plantations and forests, this idyllic hideaway in the hills offers everything from biking and hiking excursions to tranquil backdrops in which to take time out and get to know each other. If you are looking for accommodation in this area, then 98 Acres Resort & Spa is definitely an option worth considering for your honeymoon getaway.
Of course no honeymoon to Sri Lanka would be complete without a visit to its sun drenched shores. The South Coast is home to a plethora of coastal escapes be it Beruwala, Bentota, Hikkaduwa or Unawatuna all offering picturesque settings in which to enjoy everything from long walks on the beach to exciting water sports. Couples are also opting for East Coast honeymoons where they can enjoy relatively more seclusion than the South Coast and a chance to catch magical sun-rises.
There are those couples who will fancy more thrills on their honeymoon and Sri Lanka has plenty to offer them too. White water rafting in Kitulgala is a favourite amongst adventurous travellers, while nature lovers can engage in unforgettable leopard and elephant safaris at Yala, Wilpattu and Minneriya national parks for a honeymoon that gives them a chance to discover the island’s ‘wild side!’
