Day 1: Arrive in Colombo
Upon arrival, airport staff will escort you to a private lounge where you’ll be greeted by our team, who’ll help you with the fast-track arrival service, customs and baggage collection.
Via private transfer, you’ll be transported to Paradise Road Tintagel. This boutique hotel is a well-kept secret to most and is one of Colombo’s most alluring urban retreats nestled within the city’s most exclusive neighbourhood.
Indulge at the bar or perhaps enjoy some quiet time in the library. You can also choose to relax on the sun decks by the indoor lap pool, in the steam room, or in the private massage room where personalised spa experiences await.
Day 2: Discover the culture and charm of Colombo
Enjoy Colombo at your own pace. After a leisurely hotel breakfast, you can start your day with a walk in the tranquillity of nearby Viharamahadevi Park, or be immersed in the country’s fascinating history and culture at Colombo National Museum just across the park.
While it’s easy to lose track of time when exploring, make sure to save an hour of your day for your included 60-minute rejuvenating head, neck, and shoulder ritual at Spa Ceylon—one of the city’s leading Ayurveda day spas.
Day 3: Transfer to Yala National Park
Following breakfast, your driver guide will collect you for the scenic journey to Handunugoda Tea Estate which produces Virgin White Tea,—the only tea untouched by hand! Here you can learn more about the tea manufacturing process and taste over 20 teas produced at the estate.
Next, you will be driven to the luxurious Uga Chena Huts set amongst the golden dunes and the lush greenery bordering Yala National Park. This stunning wilderness retreat has a private beach and is home to just 18 luxurious pool cabins.
Uga Chena Huts will treat you to a truly all-inclusive experience. Savour delectable meals along with a selection of fine beverages included with your stay, unwind in the resort’s magnificent main pool and poolside bar, be pampered in the day spa, or simply luxuriate in the privacy of your own pool.
Day 4 & 5: Unforgettable safari drives in Yala National Park
Start your morning with an adventure-filled game drive through Yala National Park, Sri Lanka’s most popular wildlife sanctuary where you’ll have the opportunity to spot three of Sri Lanka’s “Big Five” endangered animals, the Sri Lankan leopard, sloth bear, and elephant.
After the drive, return to the comfort of Uga Chena Huts where the remainder of the day beckons you to luxuriate in an array of first-class amenities. On your 4th night, finish the day with an unforgettable bonfire BBQ dinner.
The next morning is yours to spend at leisure after breakfast. In the afternoon, you will embark on your second game drive in Yala National Park for more photograph opportunities with Sri Lanka’s amazing wildlife. Keep an eye out for the elusive leopard, herds of spotted deer, Mugger crocodiles, wild boars, wild buffaloes, langurs, peacocks, and over 200 different avian species.
When your game drive is through, you’ll be driven back to the resort where you can enjoy sunset sundowners and cocktails, followed by a delicious dinner.
Day 6-10: Rest, Relax & Reset at Haritha Villas & Spa
After a hearty breakfast, your driver guide will transfer you to Haritha Villas & Spa, a hilltop wellness-inspired retreat on Sri Lanka’s southern coast. Embraced by a lush canopy of trees, the resort offers guests a blend of wild nature, exclusive experiences, wellness therapies, elevated style, and complete privacy.
During your stay in your contemporary private villa, you will indulge in two Ayurveda spa treatments d at the Haritha Jungle Spa after the resident Ayurveda doctor conducts a basic consultation for bespoke treatments addressing your body’s specific needs.
There’s also plenty to experience at the resort. You can choose to spend tranquil moments in your villa’s private courtyard and saltwater plunge pool, or perhaps take in the serene view of Haritha Lake from the dedicated yoga pavilion. Haritha’s infinity pool is another wonderful spot where you can enjoy views of the lush jungle canopy and the picturesque valley below as you sip your choice of mocktail or cocktail.
If you prefer more adventure, your personal butler is on hand throughout your stay and can arrange activities such as snorkelling, diving, whale watching (seasonal), meditation sessions at a local monastery, and more. You can also arrange a day tour to nearby Galle, rainforest trekking, river boat safaris and deep sea fishing excursions, or take a bike ride or 3-minute complimentary tuk tuk ride to Narigama beach, where you can enjoy the surf and the fresh sea breeze.
Daily breakfast is included during your stay, one of which will be served as a floating breakfast in your private pool. You can also enjoy the other sumptuous meals and undisturbed nature vistas at the elegant hotel restaurant that uses organic produce from the hotel’s very own garden.
Day 11: Transfer from Hikkaduwa to Colombo for departure
After breakfast, you’ll be transferred to Bandaranaike International Airport in Colombo. Your luggage will be handed over to Sri Lanka airport staff who will check it in, take you to immigration, and escort you to a private lounge where you can rest until you board your flight.
