7 Days / 6 Nights
Last updated: July 21, 2026
If you only have a week, this 7 day Sri Lanka itinerary is built entirely around the relaxed south coast. Beach & Wellness Retreat starts with an Ayurveda spa session in Bentota, continues through turtle conservation and snorkeling in Hikkaduwa, an afternoon at Galle Fort, and finishes with beach time and a boat trip for whale watching in Mirissa. It's the itinerary we recommend for honeymooners and couples who want scenery without long travel days, from US $561 with private transport and hotels included.
Arrive at Bandaranaike International Airport and transfer to a luxury beach resort in Bentota. Enjoy a relaxing afternoon by the Indian Ocean and a welcome dinner at your hotel.
Enjoy an exhilarating morning of water sports on the Madu River estuary, followed by a deeply relaxing traditional Ayurvedic spa session at your resort — a perfect blend of adventure and serenity.
Visit the Kosgoda Sea Turtle Conservation Project and watch baby turtles make their first journey to the ocean. Then head to Hikkaduwa for vibrant coral reef snorkeling with tropical fish.
Travel south to Galle. Spend the day exploring the charming cobblestone streets of Galle Dutch Fort — a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Browse boutique shops, art galleries, and colonial-era architecture.
Head to Mirissa, one of Sri Lanka's most beautiful beaches. Unwind on the pristine golden sands, explore Secret Beach, and enjoy a fresh seafood dinner with a spectacular sunset view.
Early morning boat safari off the coast of Mirissa to spot majestic blue whales — the largest creatures on Earth — along with playful spinner dolphins. An unforgettable ocean experience.
Transfer back up the coast to Bandaranaike International Airport for your departure flight, refreshed and rejuvenated from your Sri Lanka wellness escape.
