Sri Lanka tour & beach holiday
On leaving our room at Serendip which led out straight onto the front veranda... we saw that the garden was full of fireflies. We were then led to our table out the back by the plunge pool where we would be eating dinner. The manager had arranged and lit dozens of tea lights around the garden. Priceless.  (more)

Beach holiday & tour in Sri Lanka
The accommodation was the most luxurious, most welcoming, most helpful place we have ever stayed in; and the walks through the tea estate with idyllic views of the reservoir and surrounding hills, both relaxing and inspiring.  (more)

Sri Lanka travel information

Sri Lanka has had many names in its long and colourful history – words deriving from Greek and Roman, Pali, Sanskrit and English – each reflecting the island's prominent position on the Indian Ocean's trade routes. Serendip is just one of these names, from which we take the word 'serendipity' coined by Horace Walpole to describe the gift of making happy and unexpected discoveries purely by accident. The island's central mountains block the monsoon winds and create two quite different regions – low-lying coastal plains running inland from the northern and eastern shores, and sloping hills climbing to the mountains from the south.

The island's architectural and artistic heritage has much in common with Indian Hindu and Buddhist tradition, yet its relative isolation has resulted in some unique distinctive features. This isolation is also evident in Sri Lankan wildlife, much of which is unique to the island, and includes elephant, a variety of deer and reptiles, 240 indigenous species of butterfly, and no less than 250 resident bird species.
