Your destinations —
Sri Lanka
Sri Lanka, a small island nation with a 2,000-year-old culture, is a treasure trove of natural beauty and ancient heritage. Home to eight UNESCO World Heritage Sites, the country offers a fascinating blend of history, wildlife, and culture. Often overlooked by travellers heading to India or Asia, Sri Lanka remains one of the region's best-kept secrets.
Must-sees:
- Sigiriya Rock Fortress: A UNESCO-listed ancient citadel, offering dramatic views, frescoes, and rich historical significance.
- Ella: A hill town surrounded by lush tea plantations, ideal for scenic hikes like Little Adam’s Peak and Nine Arches Bridge.
- Yala National Park: A wildlife haven, where safaris offer opportunities to see leopards, elephants, and diverse birdlife.
Culinary culture:
Sri Lankan cuisine is a vibrant tapestry of bold flavours and fresh ingredients. Rice and curry, with its spiced vegetable, meat, or fish options, is a staple of the local diet. Hoppers, crispy rice pancakes, are a beloved dish, served with eggs or sweetened. Coastal areas excel in fresh seafood, with delicacies such as fish ambul thiyal (tangy fish curry) and crab curries. Street food like kottu roti, a stir-fry of flatbread with vegetables and meat, is a must-try, while desserts such as watalappam and tropical fruits like Mangosteen offer a refreshing finish.
Dive deeper:
Beyond the famous attractions, Sri Lanka’s charm lies in its lesser-known gems. Galle Fort is a colonial-era city filled with boutiques, cafes, and history. A scenic train ride from Kandy to Ella is considered one of the world’s most picturesque journeys. For a more unique experience, visit Jaffna in the north, where you’ll encounter Tamil culture and peaceful, untouched beaches.
Good to know:
The official currency is the Sri Lankan Rupee (LKR). The ideal time to visit varies by region - the south and west coasts are ideal from November to April, while the east coast is preferable from May to September. Tuk-tuks are great for short trips, while scenic train routes and private drivers offer flexibility for exploring.
Baa Atoll
Renowned as the only UNESCO Biosphere Reserve in the Maldives, Baa Atoll is a rare jewel where nature thrives in extraordinary abundance. Unlike other atolls, it is celebrated for its exceptional marine biodiversity, pristine lagoons, and world-famous manta ray gatherings, making it a haven for divers and snorkellers alike.
Must-sees / Must-do:
- Hanifaru Bay: The atoll’s crown jewel and one of the best places on Earth to witness manta rays and whale sharks feeding together in season (June to November).
- Maaddoo and Dhonfanu reefs: Perfect for diving, with vibrant coral gardens, turtles, reef sharks, and shoals of colourful fish.
- Island hopping: From the secluded sandbanks of Kihaadhoo to the lush greenery of Kamadhoo, each island offers its own charm.
- Luxury eco-resorts: Stay at world-renowned retreats like Soneva Fushi or Milaidhoo, where barefoot luxury blends seamlessly with eco-conscious living.
Culinary culture:
Dining in Baa Atoll often focuses on the freshest catch of the day, tuna, lobster, and reef fish prepared Maldivian-style with coconut, curry, and spice. Resorts elevate this with gourmet experiences, from sandbank picnics to starlit fine dining under the palms.
Dive deeper:
Beyond the reefs, travellers can paddle through turquoise lagoons by kayak, join a marine biologist-led excursion, or take part in coral conservation projects. Sunset dolphin cruises add a magical touch to evenings on the water.
Good to know:
Baa Atoll is accessible via seaplane transfer from Malé. It stands apart from other northern atolls thanks to its UNESCO status and unmatched marine gatherings, making it a once-in-a-lifetime Maldivian escape.
