Package Overview

A complete Sri Lanka island tour from UAE: eleven nights looping through the cultural triangle, the central hill country, the southwest beaches and the capital, with a private car and an Arabic-speaking driver throughout, and half-board (breakfast and dinner) at every hotel.

You begin in Sigiriya in the cultural heartland (two nights), then move up to Kandy — the hill capital and home of the Temple of the Sacred Tooth Relic (two nights). From there you climb into the cool tea country of Nuwara Eliya (two nights) before descending to the golden southwest coast at Bentota for three nights of beach time. The tour finishes with two nights in Colombo, the lively seaside capital.

Your driver takes you between regions and to the sights along the way, and all government taxes are included. This is our Silver package — a well-balanced 4-star itinerary covering the best of the island at a relaxed pace.

Note: this offer is valid for travel between 1 May and 31 October 2026. During the Buddhist festival period (17–28 August) an additional government tax of USD 50 per room per night applies. Hotel check-in is from 2:00 PM and check-out is by 12:00 PM; the listed hotels may be substituted with similar 4-star properties subject to availability.

This holiday package from UAE is designed for travelers looking for Sri Lanka experiences with flexible travel dates, hotel options, and guided support.
