From Sacred Temples to Sun-Kissed Shores—Why the World Can’t Get Enough of Sri Lanka

Sri Lanka has emerged as one of 2025’s top travel hotspots, landing 9th on the BBC’s “25 Best Places to Travel” list. With over 2 million visitors in 2024—and projections aiming for 3 million in 2025—the country is riding a wave of tourism success. From the bustling streets of Colombo to serene beach resorts and sacred cultural landmarks, the island offers travellers an unmatched blend of relaxation and adventure.

Destinations like Bentota’s golden coastline, the wilds of Yala, and ancient cities such as Polonnaruwa are drawing global attention. Adventurers can also journey to Ella’s scenic trails or dive off Trincomalee’s shores.
