Escape to Sri Lanka  Reviews 

We travelled as a large group and Escape to Sri Lanka made the whole experience easy and enjoyable. Nadesh really took the time to understand what we all wanted and created an itinerary that worked for everyone — no small feat with a big group.

He organised a brilliant guided tour of Sigiriya that even the kids loved, with a guide who brought the history to life. The villas were beautiful, and the food was amazing — they even managed to keep our picky eaters happy. Everything was thoughtful, personal, and incredibly well organised. Would definitely book again. Definitely tailor made for what we wanted.

Just got back from an incredible trip to Sri Lanka organised by escapetosrilanka.co.uk and I honestly couldn’t be happier. They made everything so easy from the beginning—really friendly, quick to respond, and totally focused on what I wanted out of the trip.

One of the absolute highlights was visiting Yala National Park. I still can’t believe I got to see leopards up close—it was such a thrill! You could tell these guys knew exactly where to send me and when, and it made all the difference.

Their local knowledge was spot on, and the whole itinerary felt personal and well thought out—not just a generic tour. If you’re planning a trip to Sri Lanka and want something exciting, customised, and super smooth from start to finish, I’d 100% recommend them.

We travelled to Sri Lanka with my wife and 8-year-old son, and I honestly can't recommend Escape to Sri Lanka enough. From the moment we landed in Colombo, everything was taken care of — seamless transfers, stunning hotels, unforgettable local experiences, and a team that genuinely went the extra mile.

The itinerary was perfectly tailored for our family — a great balance of adventure, relaxation, and cultural discovery. Our son especially loved the wildlife safari and beach days, while we appreciated the authentic food tours and peaceful mountain retreats.

If you're thinking about a family holiday that’s unique, stress-free and full of wow moments — book with them. We’re already planning our next trip!

Our family of four had an absolutely unforgettable time exploring the beautiful island of Sri Lanka. Our trip started in Colombo, followed by Mirissa, Yala, Haputale and Sigiriya.
From the moment we arrived in Colombo, we were struck by the warmth and hospitality of the people. The city was vibrant and full of energy, offering us a great introduction to the country’s culture and cuisine.

We especially loved our time in Mirissa, where the beautiful beaches, nesting sea turtles, and laid-back atmosphere made it the perfect place to unwind. It was a peaceful escape that allowed us to slow down, enjoy the ocean breeze, and truly relax. We even got to see baby sea turtles crawling back to the sea after hatching.

We then went to the Kalametiya birds sanctuary where we saw many species of birds but also monkeys and water buffaloes.

Yala National Park was another standout experience. We got to see a leopard up close in its natural habitat, truly a once-in-a-lifetime moment. We also had an unforgettable encounter with a wild elephant that came very close to our jeep, making an adventure neither our kids or the grownups will never forget.

In Haputale, we were captivated by the lush hill country. Surrounded by tea fields and cool mountain air, we learned about Sri Lanka’s tea culture, both past and present. The stay at eSKPe was truly memorable in this luxury estate with the most brilliant staff.
Hiking to World’s End in Horton Plains rewarded us with breathtaking views and a sense of accomplishment the whole family shared. We saw evidences of leopards in the area but fortunately, or not, we did not see one.

Finally, exploring the ancient heritage sites around Sigiriya gave us a deep appreciation for Sri Lanka’s rich history. Climbing Sigiriya Rock, the Lion Rock, felt like discovering a Sri Lankan Machu Pichu. Walking among the ruins was very educational.

Every part of the trip felt meaningful and memorable. Sri Lanka exceeded our expectations in every way. Thank you, Escape to Sri Lanka, for taking such great care of us — we’re already dreaming of our next visit!

Our trip with Escape to Sri Lanka was absolutely amazing. We wanted our trip to combine beach, culture and wild life and it was better than we ever imagined. Escape to Sri Lanka went above and beyond to make our trip truly memorable and everything was seamless and stress-free. I would highly recommend to anyone who would love to explore Sri Lanka
