If you’re craving a long-haul holiday that mixes adventure with proper downtime, Sri Lanka and the Maldives make a brilliant pairing. Sri Lanka gives you history, wildlife and lush green scenery. The Maldives gives you calm beaches, turquoise lagoons and relaxed island luxury. Put them together and you’ve got a Sri Lanka and Maldives twin-centre holiday that feels varied, memorable and genuinely restorative.

Explore the best of Sri Lanka

Sri Lanka is compact, friendly and full of colour. You can watch the sunrise over misty tea hills, spend the afternoon exploring ancient UNESCO sites, or wander through markets in colonial towns. Travellers often take a scenic train ride through the highlands or visit Sigiriya, Kandy and the Cultural Triangle, which are among the most searched spots by UK visitors.

If you love wildlife, national parks like Yala, Udawalawe or Minneriya offer chances to see elephants, leopards and rare birdlife. It’s an easy place to travel, and every region offers something different, which is why Sri Lanka holiday packages from the UK continue to trend.

Slow down in the Maldives

Once you’ve explored Sri Lanka’s hills and heritage, the Maldives is the perfect place to switch off. Soft white beaches, clear water and quiet overwater villas create that classic island escape UK travellers look for. Most resorts offer all-inclusive Maldives holidays, snorkelling trips, sunset cruises and peaceful spa time. It’s the ideal way to unwind after a week of exploring.

Why this combination works so well

A Sri Lanka and Maldives holiday suits anyone who wants more than a simple beach break. You get culture and scenery up front, followed by a stretch of pure relaxation on a private island. It’s perfect for couples, honeymooners, families and anyone looking for a trip that feels special from start to finish.
