A 7-day Sri Lanka honeymoon combining Yala leopard safaris with Tangalle's untouched beaches and Galle Fort's colonial charm, from $1,599 per couple.
This 7-day route pairs Sri Lanka's best wildlife with its most beautiful southern coastline. You'll track leopards through Yala's scrubland, swim off empty golden beaches in Tangalle and explore the cobblestone streets of Galle Fort, all with a private driver handling every transfer.
It's built for couples who want adventure and relaxation in equal measure. Mornings on safari, afternoons on the beach, evenings in a candlelit fort. Three distinct destinations, zero planning required.

Your private driver meets you at Bandaranaike Airport for the five-hour drive south along the coast to Yala. Stop at the Mulkirigala Rock Temple en route, a less-visited alternative to Dambulla carved into a granite outcrop. Settle into Wild Coast Tented Lodge on the edge of the national park.
Pre-dawn start for a full morning game drive through Yala National Park. Block 1 offers the best leopard territory, along with elephants, wild boar and peacocks. Return to camp for a late breakfast, then spend the afternoon at the lodge pool or book a couples' nature walk along the park boundary.
Optional early morning safari for a second chance at leopard sightings. Then drive an hour west along the coast to Tangalle. Check into Anantara Peace Haven, set on a cliff above the Indian Ocean. Afternoon free for the beach and infinity pool.
Full beach day on Tangalle's wide golden sand. Morning swim and snorkel at Hiriketiya Bay, a sheltered cove popular with surfers. Late afternoon visit to Rekawa Turtle Conservation Project, where rangers guide you to watch nesting turtles after dark.
Morning at leisure on the beach before the two-hour coastal drive to Galle. Stop at Mirissa for a fresh seafood lunch overlooking the harbour. Arrive at Fort Bazaar, a beautifully restored merchant's house inside the UNESCO-listed fort walls.
Morning exploring Galle Fort's narrow streets, visiting the lighthouse, Dutch Reformed Church and local gem shops. Afternoon at Unawatuna Beach, the closest swimming beach to the fort. Walk the ramparts at sunset, then farewell dinner at a candlelit rooftop restaurant inside the fort.
Final morning in Galle Fort with time for last-minute shopping or a coffee at the Heritage Cafe. Your driver takes you to Colombo Airport via the Southern Expressway, around two and a half hours. Or extend with beach days in Mirissa or a Maldives add-on.
Add any of these romantic touches to your trip. Just mention them in your enquiry.
