Top 20 Sri Lanka properties for peace and privacy


In a post-pandemic landscape, the option of having privacy while travelling has never been more sought-after. Families and older couples in particular are increasingly keen to have the option to keep to themselves without this impacting on their enjoyment of discovering a new destination.

Sri Lanka holidays are well-geared up to cater to this need. If you choose to travel with a specialist Sri Lanka travel company like Kingfisher Tours , you automatically benefit from having a private car and driver for your Sri Lanka tour operated by a qualified English-speaking guide. All of your activities are private, too, so you can explore the island’s highlights at your own pace and with total peace of mind.

When it comes to Sri Lanka holiday accommodation, there is no shortage of fantastic hotels and villas which offer tourists the option of a private pool and secluded in-room dining. You also have the opportunity to plan unique destination dining experiences if you are celebrating a special occasion.
