Colombo
Colombo
The gateway city: galleries, spice markets and the coast road before you leave for the island proper.
Travel&Tourism
Why here
Most of Sri Lanka is within four hours of everywhere else in Sri Lanka.
That single fact is what makes the island so unusually generous. A morning on a reef, an afternoon in a fifth-century rock fortress and dinner at two thousand metres is not an ambitious itinerary here, it is a reasonable Tuesday.
What it does demand is routing that understands the roads, the weather windows and which sites deserve the early start. That is the entire job of our travel desk.

FAQs
Looking for answers?
Timing, private travel, what is included: the questions we hear most often before a first trip.
For December to March on the south coast, four to six months gives the best choice of villas. Hill country and the east are far more forgiving: six to eight weeks is usually plenty. If a trip is closer than that, ask anyway; we hold standing allocations at a number of properties.
Insights
From the travel desk
Notes worth reading before you fly: monsoons, rail legs, and what a park permit actually buys you.
Reading the two monsoons
Why "rainy season" is close to meaningless on an island where the weather splits down the middle, and how to use that.
Read moreThe rail leg, done properly
Kandy to Ella is the most photographed train ride in Asia. Reserved observation seats and the right direction change it entirely.
Read moreWhat a permit actually buys you
Park entry, tracker allocation and the gate you enter from make more difference to a safari than the lodge you sleep in.
