This itinerary travels anticlockwise around the island, starting off inland from the west coast at wellness hotel Glenross Living before moving south to Galle, where they can wander the atmospheric streets of this 17thcentury old town from either Fort Bazaar or legendary grand dame, The Sun House. Then, move on to Habaraduwa’s four-kilometre-long beach, and the spacious ocean-fronted rooms at KK Beach OR enjoy the peace and quiet of undeveloped Mawella Beach, near Tangalle, at The Last House. Then, head up into the hills for picnics, scenic views, tea factory visits and tea estate trails by staying at Nine Skies near Ella before moving on by train (optional) to Santani Wellness Kandy, near Kandy, for absolute peace and quiet, and a few blissful treatments (or a week-long wellness package*) before flying home.
**While the varied treatments, facilities and yoga classes within Santani’s spectacular tri-level spa are open to guests staying any number of nights, if your clients wish to indulge in a targeted wellness package, they would need to stay a minimum of seven nights.
