SRI LANKA SINGLE CENTRE HOLIDAYS For those who love to stay in one place and explore cultural sites and wildlife at a leisurely pace , you could easily stay for a week or more in the Cultural Triangle , Kandy , Nuwara Eliya or Galle . Lovers of history and archaeology will adore the Cultural Triangle around Sigiriya and Dambulla . Proximity to nature and wildlife is also here . If you make Kandy your base for a week , you can enjoy the nature and culture of this amazing country fully . There is much to explore in the cultural capital of Kandy , once also Sri Lanka ’ s ancient royal capital : the UNESCO World Heritage Site of the Temple of the Tooth Relic of Lord Buddha , the lake , the market and the shops of downtown Kandy . From Kandy you can also visit Sigiriya to the north and Nuwara Eliya to the south . Nuwara Eliya as a base gives you the tea plantations , golf and country walks . Galle in the south gives you the benefit of a historic town and coastline to explore .
SRI LANKA TWO CENTRE HOLIDAYS The obvious combination here is a stay in the country and a stay on the coast . That way , depending on the areas you choose , you will experience a wide range of what Sri Lanka has to offer but without the constant travelling of a touring holiday . Almost any two centres would work together . The combination you choose will give you some subtle differences though in terms of scenery and cultural experiences . Or you can make the focus of one stay much more rural or wildlife associated . Choose any of the hotels in these regions to suit your style .

SRI LANKA FOR FAMILIES Sri Lanka lends itself brilliantly to families and caters for families with children of all ages . Family holidays in Sri Lanka fall into two categories : a typical beach holiday at a hotel with plenty of facilities , accommodating children of all ages ( although they do not have extensive children ’ s club services ) or a touring holiday , often combined with a beach stay as part of the holiday , and probably more suitable to families with older children who will be happy to explore the country , undergo the car journeys and take part in sightseeing . Some of the smaller , boutique hotels are not advisable for families with small or lots of children and some may decline to accept families .
