The Best Honeymoon Destinations in Sri Lanka for Couples
Six honeymoon regions and the kind of couple each one suits.
The best honeymoon destinations in Sri Lanka for couples are Mirissa and the south coast for beaches and whale watching, Nuwara Eliya and the hill country for tea bungalow stays, Sigiriya and the Cultural Triangle for romantic sunrise climbs, Galle Fort for colonial-era charm, Bentota for Ayurveda spa stays, and Ella for low-key adventure. A classic 10-day honeymoon combines three of these: Cultural Triangle, hill country and south coast.
