Experience wildlife, temples, beaches and culture in a luxury Sri Lanka family tour.

It might be small compared to its neigbour that towers to the north, but Sri Lanka is a wonderfully diverse and fascinating country. Packed full of ancient ruins, hilltop temples, sandy beaches and national parks home to herds of elephants, it has everything you need for the perfect family getaway.

The Cultural Triangle, marked by the three points of Kandy, Anuradhapura and Polonnaruwa is a culturally rich area home to ruined cities, fortresses, and temples and monuments that can be explored by bike. Children will love entering the palace complex of Sigiriya through a pair of enormous lion’s feet amd exploring the extraordinary caves of Dambulla.

Go in search of wildlife in Yala and Gal Oya National Parks, enjoying a safari through the parks, eyes on stalks as you look out for calfs splashing in the watering holes and monkeys swinging between the trees. And of course, no trip to Sri Lanka would be complete without some time relaxing as a family on the beautiful coast.

Luxury accommodation in Sri Lanka

There are many incredible places to stay in Sri Lanka. Here are some of our favourites, handpicked by our travel designers:

Yala National Park

Kulu Safaris Yala Camp

Kulu translates as untamed, a most fitting name for this authentic, ecologically minded safari camp. The base camp has large custom made tents secured on raised wooden platforms, each with a small deck area for an evening drink, en suite bathroom and hot shower. Expertly guided game drives on modified Land Cruisers, kayaking and jungle walks will let you really get a feel for this stunning region. The camp is ideally situated to explore the multiple sectors of Yala National Park, with the majority of safaris in Block 1. However, for guests staying three or more nights, full-day excursions into the far less frequented Blocks 3, 4, 5, and Lunugamvehera National Park can be arranged. For truly tailor-made camping experiences, mobile safari options can be planned to suit specific requests in smaller, yet still comfortable tents. This is an adventurous option for groups looking to get entirely off the beaten path, and that Kulu’s mobile clients include world renowned nature documentary filmmakers is testament to their expertise.

“Jacada travel is now my only travel agent!!!‌”

Highly recommended travel company! When a once in a lifetime trip to Sri Lanka was decided, I looked around for a travel company that could realize my dreams. All other travel agents fell short of Jacada. My desire of 5 star resorts, excellent food, scuba diving, UNESCO sightseeing, and relaxation where met with a 6 star review. Jacarda arranged private…

We just returned from an awesome 15-day trip to Sri Lanka. Jim Stacy planned the perfect itinerary for us, based on a few phone conversations and email exchanges. We were blown away by how stunning Sri Lanka was, how much diversity it had (cultural sites, tea plantations, beaches, mountains etc), how kind the people were, and how delicious every meal…
