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.

Both Michelle and Nadine have been more than helpful with meeting our requirements, nothing has been too…
Really easy and pleasant booking experience So far so good due to fly out in January.
First class service from Michelle for the second holiday she has planned for us .. brilliant communication, excellent skills and good knowledge along with great professionalism..
We sent our desired itinerary for a trip to Singapore and Australia and Rachel created a package for us including flights, hotels, transfers to meet our budget, discussing various options with us as required. Couldn’t have asked for a smoother booking experience, looking forward to the trip next year.
I have booked with Nick at EShores several times now and nothing is too much trouble. His prices are extremely competitive and we have never had any problems with flights & private transfers. Booked with him again this week to South America and he managed to upgrade us to ocean view room in one place…
