You’ve probably seen the saffron coasts, sparkling ocean waters, swaying coconut trees, scrumptious food and so much more flooding your Instagram or Facebook feed with everyone who has travelled to the tropical island of Sri Lanka. If those pictures weren’t convincing enough, here are some reasons why you should make it your next destination.
Climate
Sri Lanka enjoys a tropical climate, which means you can be blessed with rain and sunshine on one day! The weather is mostly hot and humid, making it perfect for spending the entire day on the beach or submerged in a pool.
Beaches
Who doesn’t love a day at the beach?! The south coast beaches, in particular, are easily accessible and completely breath-taking; such as Galle, Unawatuna, Hikkaduwa or Kalutara. Resort choices are aplenty and those looking to stay at one such as AVANI Kalutara Resort will find that during peak season they book up quite fast!
Tea
If you travel towards the central highlands, you’ll be amazed to find out cooler climates, mountains and tea estates. If you love a freshly brewed cup of tea, head over to the famous city of Nuwara Eliya.
Food
If there’s one particular thing that the locals can NOT live without, is their spice. Try out all the Sri Lankan food you can get your hungry hands on; from kottu, string hoppers, roti and the ever famous ‘rice and curry’.
