Why you'll love this journey

Only have a few days in Sri Lanka? This private three-day escape packs the very best of the southern coastline into one easy, unhurried journey. Glide along the mangrove-lined Madu River, watch baby turtles return to the sea, and slow down on the soft golden sands of Bentota.

Next, follow the coast road to Mirissa — the island's favourite beach town — with an optional stop at the UNESCO-listed Galle Fort. End your trip in Colombo, where colonial landmarks, bustling bazaars and ocean-front promenades meet modern Sri Lanka.
