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.”
