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.

Fifth time of using Eshores. Never been let down when not travelling to just one destination it is very comforting to know everthing is in hand. Wont use anyone else
Michelle, who was our consultant was very attentive very thorough and gave us a number of options to look at. I feel confident that this trip of a lifetime will go to plan. Michelle consistently came back to us with updates as when required and she did what she said she was going to do.…

We have used Eshores on many occasions over the years especially when booking long haul holidays. They are so friendly, helpful and knowledgable , nothing is to much trouble. Would highly recommend them especially Dave.
Great service from Rob, super helpful and patient, came back with many quotes for me. Really listened to what I wanted unlike other companies also very comparable on price and worked out cheaper than me doing it myself. I would definitely recommend and would use again (although I haven't been on the holiday yet!!)
First time we have used eShores. Michelle Porter was exceptional with her knowledge and recommendations. We were given several options to consider and all our needs and expectations were met and exceeded. First class service. Would definitely recommend Michelle/eShores and they will be our first contact when looking at future holidays.
