Sri Lanka, commonly known as ‘The Resplendent Isle’, is one of the most ecologically diverse nations on the planet. It’s fascinating wildlife, vibrant rainforests and melting pot of cultural heritage makes it a mystery well-worth exploration. Whether you’re in the bustling western cities of Colombo and Negombo, or the central heights of Kandy or Nuwara Eliya, this proud nation is waiting to enchant you.
Before Europeans arrived, various Indian kings fought for dominion over this vibrant land. When Italian traveller Marco Polo returned from his Asian travels in the 13th century, his particular fondness for Sri Lanka prompted Portugal, The Netherlands and finally the British to claim the island for their own. As soon as you step foot on the island you’ll see exactly what all the fuss was about. The ancient fortress of Sigiriya is a magical attraction that will capture the imagination of any child. Our Heritance Kandalama and Sun Aqua Pasikudah resorts both cater to families with children’s menus in their restaurants, babysitting facilities and a host of activities to keep them entertained.
