Luxury/ Boutique Experience

The Luxury and Boutique Experience

In the past decade Sri Lanka has seen a steady change in its accommodation offerings, with a profusion of boutique and luxury options being added to the list of accommodation options offered in the island. One special feature that sets Sri Lanka apart from other countries in Asia is the fact that Boutique or Luxury experience can be indulged in ,no matter what part of the Country you are in and no matter what sort of activities you are interested in. The Lankan Luxury and Boutique experience extends from the sun kissed beaches to the scenic hill country, not forgetting the rich cultural triangle of the country. One can travel to each of these areas in the country and take in the rich culture and heritage that the Island has to offer, without compromising on absolute comfort pampering when it comes to the area of accommodation. While on the topic of pampering it must be highlighted that some of these Luxury hotels house some magnificent spas and a luxury trip to the Island would not be complete without experiencing one of the treatments that these spas offer. There’s no better way to complete the luxury and boutique experience than to take a romantic hot air-balloon ride through the picturesque landscape of the island or indulging in a private helicopter ride to almost anywhere in the country

Luxury and Boutique Beach Experience

As a result of being nestled in the Indian ocean, the tiny island of Sri Lanka is blessed with beautiful beaches that are definitely some of the best in Asia. The palm fringed coastline stretches for over a thousand kilometres around the country, with stretches of long golden sandy beaches and crystal clear waters. Of these, the beaches in the South, East and West of the country are the most popular.

The upmarket  Cultural experience

Sri Lankan culture is truly the personification of ‘diversity’.  A blend of many ethnic groups and multiple religious beliefs has resulted in a tiny island seeping with history and culture. Sri Lanka proudly lays claim to 8 UNESCO World Heritage sites, and the ‘Cultural Triangle’ is home to 5 of these sites.    The ‘triangle’ comes to being by connecting Anuradhapura to Polonnaruwa and finally by connecting Kandy as the southern tip that completes the shape, with Sigiriya and Dambulla nesting in the centre  of this triangle
