Day 1-2: Arrival and Galle Fort
Your journey begins with a seamless transfer to the fortified city of Galle, where cobblestone lanes, boutiques, and the scent of sea salt welcome you.
Settle into a restored Dutch villa with a courtyard pool and dedicated staff.
Spend the afternoon on a guided private walk around Galle Fort, learning its layered history and hidden corners. Stop by the Old Dutch Hospital precinct for afternoon cocktails overlooking the ocean, followed by an authentic Sri Lankan dinner at Amma Nissa, known for its heirloom family recipes.
On the second evening, board a private catamaran for a sunset sail, champagne in hand as the coastline glows amber.
Day 3-5: Hiriketiya and the Southern Shores
A short coastal drive brings you to Hiriketiya Bay, where barefoot elegance defines the mood. Your clifftop villa opens to sea views and comes fully staffed with chef and concierge.
Days unfold slowly, morning surf lessons, relaxed lunches at Kai Beach Club or Cactus Lounge, and dips in the warm Indian Ocean. One evening, we secure special reservations at Smoke & Bitters, ranked among Asia’s 50 Best Bars 2025, for handcrafted cocktails under the palms.
Enjoy a private afternoon visiting a nearby cinnamon plantation, followed by a sunset swim at Jungle Beach or Secret Beach, both favourites of locals.
Those craving adventure can add snorkelling with turtles near Unawatuna, quiet coves, clear waters, and guides who know the reef by heart.
Day 6-7: Tangalle Serenity
Continue east to Tangalle, where your final villa sits between coconut groves and quiet surf.
Here, time moves differently, lazy mornings, oceanfront yoga, and spa rituals as waves roll in.
Spend a day aboard a luxury yacht, gliding along the coast to hidden bays ideal for swimming and snorkelling. A visit to a local turtle hatchery offers a touching glimpse of conservation in action.
Evenings are for family dinners by torchlight, curated by your private chef, with the stars mirrored in the sea.
Day 8: Farewell
Enjoy a slow breakfast overlooking the water before your private transfer to the airport.
Every detail, from timing to luggage, is handled quietly in the background so your final moments remain serene.
