Tea Country

3 Nights
Climb into Sri Lanka’s central highlands, where tea-covered hills disappear into the mist and old estate roads wind through deep green valleys. Walk through plantations, discover the story behind Ceylon tea and settle into the slower rhythm of life in the mountains.

Head south towards the Indian Ocean, where wildlife reserves, palm-fringed beaches and historic coastal towns sit within easy reach of one another. Combine time in the wild with slow afternoons by the sea and the atmospheric streets of Galle.

Finish with a complete change of pace in the Maldives. After the colour and movement of Sri Lanka, the final days are beautifully simple: warm lagoons, exceptional marine life, barefoot meals and long stretches of time with nowhere else to be.
