Ayubhowan! Vannakam!

Sri Lanka is a mere tear-drop on a map of the world. Yet, it is the pearl of the Indian Ocean. Macro Polo, who was moved by the beauty of this country, called it "the finest island of its size in all the world". It was also known as Seredib and Taprobane...but, we call it "the Isle of Paradise".

We have encapsulated here, a drop of the nostalgic beauty that awaits you, to describe paradise in reality. Blessings of nature - emarald seas, sandy beaches, verdant hills, cascading waterfalls, abundant wildlife, a rich blend of flowers and fruits, cocunut groves, spice gardens, tea estates - and no wonder, the smile of this demi-paradise beckon the visitor to savour the kaleidoscopic experience ever so much longer, lest he awaken, from what must surely be a wide-angled dream in technicolor!

Ringing the island are miles of uncluttered white sandy beaches, where sun-seekers are caressed by gentle ocean breezes. Rising amid spectacular waterfalls to mist-shrouded peaks in the central hill region - home to the world famous "Pure Ceylon Tea" gardens, and the legendary gem mines.
