Have you been contemplating between beaches, mountains, and wildlife? This gem of an island Sri Lanka has it all in one place to satisfy your adventure cravings. This tropical island is the right place to get the best of all experiences. Sri Lanka is known for its golden sandy beaches with magnificent sunsets to captivate your eyes. Besides the beautiful beaches along the coastal lines, this island is also famous for its hill country surrounded by lush green mountains with absolutely stunning waterfalls and a peaceful atmosphere. Not only will the beaches and hills amaze you but also the wild side of Sri Lanka is truly a unique experience that will activate the adrenaline rush in you. For all who are seeking an adventure ride, you know where to land on your next trip abroad.

Here are a few known spots in Sri Lanka that you would want to enjoy the three types of unique experiences;

Explore the Wilderness in Yala National Park

Enjoy the beautiful natural surroundings and wildlife like never before in the National Park of Yala which also borders the Indian Ocean on the southeast coast of Sri Lanka. This park is home to a diverse range of exotic wild animals from the magnificent elephant to the cunning leopard. Get yourself a highly skilled tour guide to educate you on the local species that exist within the park that is hard to get a glimpse of. The best capture of your wildlife experience would be spotting the elusive big cats in the wild. 

After exploring the untamed beauty and wilderness of Yala, I highly recommend staying at Wild Coast Tented Lodge by Resplendent Ceylon, one of the most luxurious hotels that will give an exceptional service and make your stay a memorable one to remember. This hotel is only a few kilometres away from the park, which makes it easier to go re-explore the wild habitat. Their cocoon shaped tents are something extraordinary from the usual hotel rooms which makes this place special. These tents seamlessly blend into the natural surroundings which makes them look like scattered rocks that align to give the shape of a leopard's paw. Guests get the chance to watch the mesmerizing sunsets overlooking the Indian Ocean while sipping a sundowner cocktail while enjoying a picnic.

Indulge in the serene surroundings of the hill country

Escape to the blissful surroundings of the central highlands to enjoy the picturesque views that will leave you feeling amazed as to how beautiful mother nature can be. This corner of Sri Lanka is surrounded by lush green tea fields, beautiful mountains and waterfalls cascading. The central highlands are a beautiful are for all who wants to unwind themselves from the hectic schedules and soak in the perfect ambience of nature.

This luxurious property is full of historic touches from the Colonial Era. Wander around the verdant tea gardens and explore the centuries old tea factory and learn about the art of Ceylon tea.

You can also pamper yourself to a nice spa treatment to soothe your mind, body and soul from the busy schedules in your lives. Enjoy their superlative accommodation along with the curated experiences with the help of the exceptional service provided by the butlers.

Enjoy the palm fringed shores of Weligama, a sandy village that is a famous tourist attraction where all surfers land to catch some decent waves. There are plenty of activities to keep your adrenaline gushing from diving excursions to snorkelling and even exploring the diverse range of marine life. Not only is Weligama famous for its beach but the spectacular bay adds to the beauty of this town.

After a rough day of water sports and other adventures, I highly suggest you to stay in this beautiful luxurious hotel named Cape Weligama nestled near the rugged cliff shield coastline of Southern province. This hotel comprises of exquisite accommodations with 39 private retreat rooms, including 16 suites and 20 individual villas that are designed by one of Asia's renowned architects Lek Bunnag.
