Frequently asked questions about unique stays in Sri Lanka

  • What are some hidden gems to explore in Sri Lanka?

    For hidden gems, consider the ancient city of Polonnaruwa, less crowded than Anuradhapura but equally fascinating. Then there's the Knuckles Mountain Range, perfect for trekking and escaping the crowds, offering stunning views and biodiversity. For something different, explore the less-visited beaches of Arugam Bay, known for its surfing and laid-back atmosphere, or head to the cultural heartland of the hill country, visiting tea plantations and experiencing rural life in towns like Ella or Haputale.
  • Which airport should you arrive at in Sri Lanka?

    Bandaranaike International Airport (CMB) near Colombo is the main international airport and the most convenient for most travellers. However, depending on your itinerary, you might consider Mattala Rajapaksa International Airport (HRI) in Hambantota, if you're heading directly to the south of the country. Check flight options and travel times to your final destination before deciding.
  • What is generally accepted for payment in Sri Lanka, cash or card?

    Whilst credit cards are increasingly accepted in larger hotels and restaurants, particularly in tourist areas, cash (Sri Lankan Rupees) remains king. It's advisable to carry sufficient cash, especially in smaller towns and villages, and for local transport and markets.
  • How would you describe the safety of road conditions and driving habits in Sri Lanka?

    Road conditions vary considerably. Main roads are generally well-maintained, but smaller roads can be challenging, with potholes and uneven surfaces. Driving habits can be quite different from what you might be used to; it's often chaotic, with overtaking frequently occurring on blind bends. Consider hiring a driver for longer journeys, or using public transport.
  • What steps should you take if your passport goes missing in Sri Lanka?

    Immediately report the loss to the nearest police station and obtain a police report. Then, contact your embassy or high commission in Colombo as soon as possible to begin the process of obtaining an emergency passport or travel document. Keep copies of your passport details and other important documents safe, separate from the originals.
  • Where in Sri Lanka should you spend a week to experience the best of the country?

    A week allows for a good overview. You could spend a few days exploring the cultural triangle (Anuradhapura, Polonnaruwa, Sigiriya), then head to Kandy to see the Temple of the Tooth Relic. Finally, relax on the beaches of Negombo or Bentota before heading to the airport.
  • Where in Sri Lanka can you have the best weekend experience?

    For a weekend getaway, consider exploring the hill country around Ella or Nuwara Eliya. Enjoy stunning scenery, tea plantations, and waterfalls. Alternatively, unwind on the beaches of Unawatuna or Mirissa, enjoying the laid-back atmosphere and watersports.
  • What festivals in Sri Lanka are highly recommended for visitors?

    The Kandy Esala Perahera, a spectacular procession with elephants and dancers, is a must-see if timed correctly. The Sinhala and Tamil New Year is also a vibrant celebration, with unique traditions across the country. Duruthu Perahera in January, in Kandy, is another significant Buddhist festival.
  • Does Sri Lanka have Uber or comparable ride-hailing services?

    While Uber isn't available, there are local ride-hailing apps like PickMe and other taxi services readily available in most urban areas. Negotiate fares beforehand, or use metered taxis where possible.
  • What’s the top spot in Sri Lanka for favourable weather conditions?

    The best time to visit and the most favourable weather varies by region. Nuwara Eliya in the hill country generally enjoys pleasant temperatures year-round, though it can be cool and rainy. The south coast typically has good weather from November to April.
