Sri Lanka has been named a top summer 2024 destination by Forbes, alongside Greece and Mauritius. Travel blogger Kathleen Peddicord highlights its verdant highlands, stunning beaches, and blend of surf and wellness cultures. The island hosts yoga, reiki, and wellness centres, merging luxury with well-being. Home to 22 national parks, Sri Lanka offers safaris to see elephants, otters, sloth bears, and leopards.
The Pekoe Trail, a 186-mile path through the Central Highlands, invites trekkers to explore tea plantations and holy shrines. Sri Lanka’s lowlands and coastlines feature soft-sand beaches and surfable waves, with Mirissa Beach noted for its crystal-clear waters. Despite past challenges, Sri Lanka is eager for more visitors, with its tourism authority actively promoting the island, with the best Sri Lanka hotels of chains such as the Cinnamon Hotels & Resorts actively involved. Peddicord foresees Sri Lanka’s growing popularity, further recognized by Travel + Leisure and Condé Nast Traveller.
