Sri Lanka is often called the Pearl of the Indian Ocean, but given its hot and humid climate, this verdant island could be more accurately called the Emerald of the Indian Ocean.
Its beaches - Trincomalee, Bentota and Unawatuna - are palm-fringed and soft-sanded, but this little isle also has a rich colonial history (Galle port was used by Persians, Arabs, Greeks, Romans, Malays and Indians before the Portuguese, Dutch and, later, English arrived) and an inspiring cultural heritage (the cultural triangle extends from Anuradhapura to Polonnaruwa to Dambulla).
Flights to Sri Lanka will deliver you to graceful people, a beautiful island and a rich holiday experience. Now that the 30-year conflict between the Tamils and the Sinhalese has ended, Sri Lanka is looking forward to a peaceful future.
