8-Day Sri Lanka Private Tour with Northern Villa Stay

Seven nights linking Anuradhapura, three slow nights at the villa, the Jaffna islands, and a return south through Sigiriya and Kandy.

The journey

A full island-arc journey of seven nights, three of them at the villa in the Jaffna peninsula. The trip moves from Anuradhapura up into the North, settles for a slow stretch on the coast, and returns south through Sigiriya and Kandy to the airport. A private air-conditioned minibus for up to six guests is included throughout, and the trip is request-to-book with a custom quote prepared once we have your dates. The villa is the right onward base for the Cultural Triangle and the perfect mid-trip pause.

A heritage stay near Anuradhapura, arranged on your behalf, is the base for the night. A late lunch or an early supper, depending on the flight; the trip proper begins tomorrow.
