Sri Lanka is a fascinating country, occupying a tear-shaped island off the coast of India. It’s a deeply spiritual place with a collection of world-class temples and monuments to explore. On this luxury group trip, you’ll follow the Ceylon Tea Trail into the misty mountains and visit rural communities whose traditions remain unchanged for centuries. You’ll even see the world’s oldest human-planted tree – said to be the spot where the Buddha gained enlightenment. A highlight of the trip will be the elephant sanctuary. Here you’ll find baby elephants enjoying the high life: they spend their time being fed and bathing in the river.
Once you’ve discovered the rich cultural heritage of Sri Lanka, you can join an optional trip to the Maldives. The archipelago of islands that make up the Maldives boasts the bluest waters and softest sands in the world. It’s a top luxury destination and the perfect place to experience total relaxation. After the rush of exploring Sri Lanka, you’ll be craving a much-needed dose of relaxation, and there’s nowhere quite like the Maldives for some sumptuous rest and recovery.
While the legal situation for LGBTQ+ individuals in Sri Lanka remains challenging, with same-sex sexual activity still criminalized under colonial-era laws, the country offers a more welcoming reality for LGBTQ+ travelers. Many resorts and hotels, particularly in tourist-heavy areas, actively cater to queer visitors, offering safe, inclusive environments where LGBTQ+ individuals can feel comfortable and respected.
Sri Lanka’s vibrant tourist destinations, such as Colombo, Galle, and the beaches of the South Coast, have developed a reputation for being LGBTQ+-friendly, with a growing number of establishments offering queer-inclusive services. Although some discretion is advised due to the country’s conservative cultural attitudes, many international visitors report having an enjoyable and safe experience.
Sri Lanka’s stunning beaches, rich culture, and warm hospitality make it an increasingly popular destination for LGBTQ+ travelers seeking adventure and relaxation. As with any destination, it’s important to be aware of local customs and laws, but Sri Lanka remains a beautiful and welcoming place for those looking to explore a tropical paradise.
