LONELY PLANET'S OFFICIAL ITINERARY INFORMATION
Itinerary: Lush Life
Untitled Document
Amanwella: This is perhaps the island’s ultimate romantic beach getaway – you’ll never want to leave your oceanfront suite, with its private swimming pool and terrace.
Galle Face Regency: Stay in the Royal Oceanic Grand Spa suite and bubble your troubles away in either of the two Jacuzzis – one inside the mammoth bathroom, the other on the ocean-facing teak veranda.
Galle Fort Hotel: Whether or not you overnight in one of the rooms in the thick-walled former 17th-century Dutch merchant’s home, do treat yourself to the stellar Asian-fusion cuisine served here.
Taprobane Island: You can’t get more lush than renting your own island, complete with a staff of six and an open-air, five-bedroom five-bathroom villa (built by Count de Mauny-Talvande in 1922, and later owned by writer Paul Bowles).
Tea Trails: Live the tea-estate manager’s life – without the accounting problems – in your choice of four colonial bungalows dating from the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The house chef cooks perfect Sri Lankan and Western dishes and, since the place is owned by the Dilmah tea company, you’ll drink nothing but the best teas in the Hill Country.
