Southern Coast Beach Holiday Tour (8 days)

Starting from USD 0.00 (Per Person)

Snapshot

For those of you who think that life’s a beach, the Sri Lanka Beach Hopper enables you to swoon romantically over every sunset you see. We have selected three mid-range boutique hotels in Sri Lanka’s south-west blessed by fabulous beaches. Bentota, Mirissa and Unawatuna (close to the fortified town of Galle) are close enough together to keep transfer times to a minimum. If you wish, you can travel further afield to Kalpitiya on the north west coast or to Sri Lanka’s Deep South, arrange a day trip into the hills for a touch of variety, or turn this itinerary into a money-saving budget treat that will prove that Sri Lanka can also deliver beach holidays at bargain prices.
