Sri Lanka, Asia’s nature hub

by | Nov 15, 2013

Imagine a country with beautiful ancient cities, unbelievably clean and pristine beaches, exotic festivals, wildlife both on land and sea (think nature reserve trekking on top of whale and dolphin watching), fun water activities such as white water rafting and relaxing spas and treatments on par with those in Thailand.

Imagine a country with beautiful ancient cities, unbelievably clean and pristine beaches, exotic festivals, wildlife both on land and sea (think nature reserve trekking on top of whale and dolphin watching), fun water activities such as white water rafting and relaxing spas and treatments on par with those in Thailand. It may sound too good to be true, but the fact is Sri Lanka has all of that to offer, along with a long history of a whopping 2500 years. While you may not find many luxuries or comforts in the rural villages, you’ll find plenty of plush hotels in the bigger cities like Colombo that meld traditional interiors and architecture with modern levels of service.

Suggested Hotels:

Deco on 44 Galle: Nestled within the historic Galle Fort in the south of Sri Lanka, Deco on 44 offers you the finest luxury accommodation within this unique, historic, UNESCO World Heritage Site. Originally built in the 1930’s by a wealthy gem merchant, Deco on 44 has been renovated and decorated keeping in mind the art deco theme of its original architects. We are Sri Lanka’s only art deco hotel and we welcome you to relax in our beautiful rooms and enjoy our scrumptious cuisine and personalized service that truly is a taste of paradise.

Taj Samudra Colombo

The Taj Samudra is strategically based in Colombo’s business hub and is also just a short stroll to the city centre for shopping and entertainment. Spread across 11 acres of beautifully landscaped gardens, the hotel also boasts a peerless view of the Indian Ocean and the Galle Face Green, a hallmark of Colombo.
