Sri Lanka has the magic formula when it comes delivering the perfect family holiday. Most families relish the opportunity to spend a day at the beach and Sri Lanka is blessed with hundreds of miles of golden sandy expanses, with crystal blue waters and swaying palms. Natural harbours, glistening lagoons and enchanting coral reefs are just some of the attractions for eager families to explore. Whether you want some traditional sandcastle-building sessions or the chance to climb aboard a banana boat for a thrilling ride, Sri Lanka has it all. Among the most beautiful beaches are Uppuveli, Mirissa, Arugam Bay, Hiriketiya, Unawatuna and Alankuda. There’s so much for families to see and do – gaze in awe at roaming elephants, explore magical cave temples, soar above the jungle in a hot air balloon or snorkel beneath the waves to discover a myriad of marine life on the coral reefs. Children will be captivated by the wildlife in Yala, Minneriya and Willpattu national parks – elephants, leopards, rare sloth bears, wild buffalo, pangolins, crocodiles are just some of the amazing creatures there. There’s also birds aplenty with crested hawk eagles, lesser flamingos, paradise flycatchers and black bitterns, to name just a few. Sri Lanka’s luxurious family-friendly hotels are also havens of fun with kids clubs, huge swimming pools with waterslides and fabulous programmes of evening entertainment. The island also has its share of water parks, amusement parks and nature parks– of special note is Guruge Nature Park, the island’s first theme park which combines an avalanche of water fun with a tribute to the history of Sri Lanka. If you decide to immerse yourself in the culture of this awe-inspiring island there’s no shortage of magnificent landmarks to visit including, Gangaramaya Temple, Galle Dutch Fort, Rawana Falls, Jami Ul-Afar Mosque, Dambulla Royal Cave Temple and Independence Square in the capital Columbo.
