The typical hotels we use are on the daily itinerary but below are some of the standout hotels we use.



Sigiriya: Hotel Sigiriya (nights 2-3)



Swim with a view of one of Sri Lanka’s most remarkable landmarks at this relaxed retreat near Sigiriya Rock Fortress. The outdoor pool faces the towering rock itself, creating a memorable backdrop for a dip. Spacious rooms sit among leafy gardens, plus there's a spa with ancient Ayurvedic treatments should you wish to treat yourself.



Kandy: Hotel Suisse (nights 4-5)



Step into a piece of colonial-era history at this grand heritage hotel overlooking Kandy Lake. The Temple of the Tooth is around a 10-minute walk away, while wide verandas, a garden pool and polished period interiors offer a comfortable place to relax after exploring the city.



Nuwara Eliya: Galway Heights (night 6)



Breathe in the cool hill-country air at this contemporary hotel in Nuwara Eliya, surrounded by tea-covered slopes. Spacious rooms feature large windows and warm wood interiors, while a lounge bar and peaceful garden setting make it a welcoming base after exploring Sri Lanka’s tea country.
