Luxury Holidays Asia

Everyone likes to travel to another country for winter and escape the cold winter climate while enjoying a relaxing time. But this time, the main reason people like to leave the country for this winter is to save some money on their gas bills.

No matter what your reason for spending the winter in another country, Sri Lanka is a beautiful tropical island that you can’t ignore when you are planning your winter holiday.

Offering everything from beaches, nature, wildlife, cultures, history, and food to adventure, this south-east Asian island has so much to keep you entertained during your time here. Let’s look at why you should visit Sri Lanka in winter.

Power bills are skyrocketing across the world, and the cost of heating up homes for the winter has become higher than ever.

Why not save some money by spending your winter on a beautiful tropical island and have the time of your life with your family? You will also get the opportunity to go on amazing adventures and enjoy the beach as much as you like.

You can sign up for a long winter vacation with your family at a fraction of the price of the living expenses that you would have to bear at your home this winter. With all the luxuries that you can’t enjoy at home. There are luxury bungalows and villas that you can rent long-term with a butler of your own.

If your job allows remote working, there should be nothing stopping you from planning your winter holiday to Sri Lanka. The country has the best infrastructure to provide the best remote working conditions, including high-speed internet.

Forget about dressing for the cold and preparing for temperatures on the negative Celsius scale. No more trotting on snow and wearing more than three layers of clothes just to keep you warm. Sri Lanka is a hot and humid tropical island, and anytime it’s cold, you’ll know where to go…

Yes. The coastlines of Negombo, Kalpitiya, Kalutara, Bentota, Beruwala and Ahungalle are a few of numerous beachside destinations that will keep you in great company.

As great as a warm embrace, these seaside destinations are hosts to private villas of varying occupant capacities that suit your needs and recreational activities that help you break some sweat beside the ocean waters.

It isn’t hot and dry, nor is it too cold and heavy with precipitation. Sri Lanka has just the right balance of warmth and humidity, that is enough to keep your bodily senses and cells at optimum conditions.

What’s more is that you could expect an occasional, unexpected shower that’s pleasing to watch from your window while sipping on the world’s finest, warm tea – Ceylon tea.

Keep your taste buds as warm as your skin with Sri Lankan cuisine that’s ready to take you to a different level of food tasting. Hot curries with local spices are a definite treat to feast on alongside some carbs, such as white rice, which is Sri Lanka’s staple food.

Tune into some water sports and seaside activities that will help you keep your body warm and working throughout the season. No more lazy winters inside closed doors and blasted heaters. Enjoy the outdoors, especially nature’s biggest treats like the wildlife on show in national parks and whale watching season off the coast.

No better venture than a southside adventure. A historic coastal city, minimalistic colonial architecture and the sound of turbulent sea waves hitting the rocky shores on repeat. With the heated cobblestone pathways running around the city, your feet will feel the warmth that the snow-covered grounds back home cannot lend.

Sit on the green near the Galle Fort, looking out towards the horizon that spans unhindered towards the Antarctic. The gush of the coastal winds is strong enough to push you a few steps back inland.

Unawatuna Beach, also in the vicinity of Galle, is home to luxurious resorts and spas where you could pamper yourself throughout your stay.

Head over to Jungle Beach in case you are in the pursuit of an adventure – yet another well-kept secret cove surrounded by a dense jungle that extends right to the edge of the sea. Although it’s a bit tricky to access, it would be a bummer to miss out on the hot tropical climate.

In case you want to spice your seaside adventures up, head on over to Mirissa – ironically synonymous with the local word for ‘spice’. Being a top-notch beachside destination in Sri Lanka, home to flamboyant resorts in large numbers, it’s a place you should not fail to consider.

The heat of the seaside bars, surf shacks and coasts will keep you active.
Meanwhile, you could recline back and enjoy a Whale watching experience like no other place could offer. Take an offshore trip to the desolate Coconut Tree Hill, Secret Beach, and Parrot Rock Bridge – two intriguingly unique attractions along the coastline of Mirissa.

Yet another premium beachside location, Hikkaduwa, hosts the type of dream stay you’ve always wished for in a beachside location. Lavish resorts, serene sunbathing spots, calorie-burning seaside sports like kitesurfing, windsurfing and surds-up paddle boarding, coral gardens, and clear ocean waters.

For a different experience, head on to the Turtle Hatchery to learn all there is to be known of the endangered turtle species from the Kosgoda Turtle Care Unit themselves.

Here you can witness how turtle mothers are protected during their nesting process, and vulnerable, tiny baby turtles hatch under protective conditions and are relocated back to their natural habitat.
