Ceylon Discovery: The Maldivian Escape

Trip Overview

A 7-day journey through Sri Lanka's ancient kingdoms, misty hill country and sun-soaked south coast — crafted especially for travellers crossing over from the Maldives. From the Cultural Triangle's ancient citadels to two wildlife safaris, the sacred Temple of the Tooth, Ceylon's tea estates, and a beachside finish in Bentota, this itinerary blends culture, wildlife and wellness at a relaxed pace.

A signature Ayurveda treatment is woven in along the way, alongside a private air-conditioned vehicle, trained driver-guide, and door-to-door airport transfers — the same boutique, safety-first standard behind every Paraiso journey.
