December to March: Spectacular nature
This season you can enjoy tropical weather, during the hot tourist season. As such, you can have a honeymoon trip to Sri Lanka, combining visits to its most beautiful natural sites and a double pampering on the picturesque beaches of the west and south of the country.
This season you can visit Kandy, with its capital Hill County. It is a large and interesting city surrounded by forested mountains with a lake in its center. Around the lake there are benches and shaded and hidden seating areas and you can surround the lake with a leisurely stroll. On a beautiful day, you can see an amazing sunset above it. We recommend climbing to the Buddha statue that overlooks the city from above and the whole city will be spread out at your feet.
After climbing into the observation points, seeing temples and strolling through the forests, it is time to relax on one of the famous beaches. To do so, visit the charming seaside town of Negombo, near the Colombo beer. It is a tourist resort town whose beautiful beaches dotted with palm trees and fishing boats.
Another option is to go to Hikkaduwaa, a coastal town with an endless stretch of beach and blue water. Take advantage of the coral area for snorkeling in between fish and corals.
The beach is also recommended for surfers.
May to September: virgin beaches and ancient cultures
In case you decide to visit in Sri Lanka during this time, you will be able to visit the lesser known beaches in the country and the interesting ancient cities.
Few tourists arrive at Trincomalee on the north-eastern coast because of the civil war that took place there.
Today the wars are over, and it has become an attractive destination to visit. The city is not particularly beautiful, but it is surrounded by beautiful beaches and bays. Above the city, you can visit the temple, from which you can see the coastline and even see a shipwreck in the clear waters. The main attraction of Trincomalee is its proximity to the Uppuveli and Nilavelii beaches. The beaches, with the white sand, coconut trees and blue-blue water, look as if they are taken from a postcard. These beaches are popular mainly among locals, so they are usually full on weekends, but relatively deserted in other days, so you may find yourself alone.
Located far in the south-east of the island. This area is popular among surfers. It is a beautiful beach, with a beautiful game of black and white sand, and the beach is long enough for you to find yourself a completely private corner. However, if you are not surfing, there is no need to go up there for the beach, and you can do with the isolated beaches in the north. On the other hand, Yala Parkk is not far from the town, so if you want to combine a safari trip during your stay in Sri Lanka, you can get out to it from this point. If you take an early morning walk, you can watch a variety of animals in their natural habitat.
Archaeologists can travel north to the center of the island to visit this ancient cities of which have been declared World Heritage Sites. In both cities you can stroll through the remains of temples, ancient palaces, statues and other archeological sites. You can also visit the temple caves at Dambullaa, which is also a World Heritage Site. Its main attraction is the Golden Temple, which contains five impressive prayer spaces, with statues and paintings.
If you are on a honeymoon in Sri Lanka this season, don't give up on a visit to Sigiriya. It is a huge rock, with a flat head and an ancient fortress on its upper part. Although the site is very touristy and you will likely climb it in a convoy, but the climb itself is an experience. On the way up, you will encounter the remains of the fortress, murals, statues and, of course, a green and mountainous landscape that spreads out before you as you go up.
You should know before you go
It is important that you know that although you are newly married and that is your dream honeymoon, it is not acceptable to see physical contact between men and women in public. In addition, it is recommended that women avoid short or revealing clothing - it is unacceptable in the street and even forbidden in temples (which are allowed only modestly dressed and bare feet).
Before embarking on a honeymoon trip to Sri Lanka, it is recommended to get vaccinated. The poor sanitation and mosquitoes are fertile ground for a host of diseases of Third World countries, so you should prepare yourself in advance. In addition, you should also get mosquito repellent and drink only mineral water.
