Sri Lanka, the Pearl of the Orient, is made for multi-centre holidays. Ancient cities and sacred temples reveal the island’s rich history, while misty tea plantations, tumbling waterfalls and wildlife-filled national parks showcase its natural beauty. From spotting elephants and leopards on safari to unwinding on golden beaches, every day offers something new. With a private driver throughout, you can explore at your own pace, blending culture, adventure and relaxation into one seamless journey. For inspiration take a look at our most popular itineraries below, or contact us to tailor a package designed just for you.
Sri Lanka is a large island with so much to see, and journeys between regions can take time due to winding roads and varied terrain. This makes it difficult to stay in one place and simply do day trips, as you’ll miss out on many of the highlights. A multi-centre holiday is the best way to truly experience Sri Lanka, allowing you to explore at a relaxed pace while still covering the places that matter most. You can stop at ancient cities, temples, waterfalls and tea plantations along the way, before heading on to your next base. With your own private driver, every journey becomes part of the adventure and can be enjoyed at your own pace, ensuring you see the best of the island without feeling rushed.
Sri Lanka is packed with experiences for every type of traveller. History lovers can uncover the UNESCO-listed ruins of Anuradhapura and Polonnaruwa, or climb Sigiriya’s dramatic rock fortress. In the hill country, ride the famous train through beautiful tea plantations, pausing to admire waterfalls and mountain vistas. Wildlife enthusiasts can look for elephants, leopards and exotic birdlife in Yala, Udawalawe and Wilpattu National Parks. For a taste of culture, explore the vibrant city of Kandy with its Temple of the Tooth, or wander through Galle’s Dutch fort and colonial streets. And when it’s time to unwind, Sri Lanka’s palm-fringed beaches are the ideal place to finish your trip.
Sri Lanka is a year-round destination, but the weather varies by region. The west and south coasts are best from December to April, while the east is sunniest from May to September. Get in touch and we’ll design an itinerary that best suits when you want to travel.
Sri Lanka has golden, palm-fringed beaches all around its coast. The south is busier, with larger hotels and popular resorts such as Bentota and Unawatuna, while the east offers quieter spots like Nilaveli and Passekudah which are perfect if you prefer a slower pace.

Once again 5* brilliance
I spoke with Matt, who was amazing. I told him what I was looking for, and he sent me the quote which was exactly what I had in mind. The booking process was very straightforward and the service so far has been excellent.
Kadie at eShores is really helpful and responds to enquiries really quickly. We used them for a trip to Turkey in 2025, all tranfers went smoothly and the chosen hotels were lovely and of good value. I defintely recomend them
Claire has been very helpful and knowledgeable dealing with our recent enquiry and booking ..she has returned my phone calls as promised and I know I am able to contact her if the need arises ..which it probably will between now and our holiday in Jan '27 😊
Nick was very patient and helpful in finding me the perfect properties for my trip. He was always contactable and kept me up to date with everything. Thank you.

Exceptional Service from eShores — Dave Went Above and Beyond We recently booked our holiday through eShores, and working with Dave made the entire experience outstanding.

Excellent prompt service from Nick and his associates, adaptable to our needs and budget.
Always great service and every holiday we have booked Dave has been so patient and understanding of what we wanted from each trip.
Although my holiday is still some months in the future, the services provided by eShores (Dave Felton) have been exemplary. I never, ever use travel agents or intermediaries for holidays but a potential business class trip to Lombok and Bali presented new challenges in not knowing those islands. I laid out my general requirements and…
Great service prompt and great deal
