Wanderlust - GOLD AWARD for Sri Lanka as the Most Desirable Island (World)

“Sri Lanka has risen from last year’s eighth place to take Gold in one of the Awards’ most thrilling turnarounds. Known as the ‘Pearl of the Indian Ocean’, the nation’s history comes to life through spectacular monuments such as Sigiriya Rock, the cave temples of Dambulla and the ancient ruins of Anuradhapura and Polonnaruwa. Elsewhere, its leopard-filled national parks and the jungle-fringed beaches of Tangalle and Trincomalee show off the island’s natural side. But, more recently, it’s the tea plantations and lush highlands of the centre that have caught the eye, with the fresh addition of the Pekoe Trail offering an exciting new way to explore Sri Lanka’s green heart.”

CONDÉ NAST TRAVELLER “The friendliest countries in the world: 2024 Readers' Choice Awards”, October 2024

Sri Lanka ranked 7th with a score of 92.73

“Following a handful of glamorous openings last year, the hotels in Sri Lanka are better than ever and all topped off by the generous hospitality of their people. Upon arrival, expect a cup of Ceylon tea, the liquid national treasure, followed by an abundance of curries with a hearty kick. This predominantly Buddhist nation is also home to the 3000-year-old holistic healing practice of Ayurveda, making it the ideal destination for spiritual journeys and well-being retreats.”
