Two Hearts, One Island
A honeymoon route with a balloon at dawn and a table on the sand.
Eight days shaped around three or four moments worth remembering, with a lot of unstructured time between them. A hot air balloon over Sigiriya at first light, the train through the tea country in reserved class, and a table set for two on Mirissa beach.
What you'll remember
- Hot air balloon over the Sigiriya plain at sunrise
- A tea-planter's bungalow with a fire lit in the evening
- The Ella train in reserved class, with the seats facing the right way
- Private dinner on the sand at Mirissa

When to go
December to April keeps the hills clear and the south coast calm. Balloons only fly in this window — the winds from May onward ground them, and no operator will pretend otherwise.
Most visitors need a Sri Lanka ETA before travelling. We send you the current link and a filled-in checklist once you've booked — but check your own government's advice too, because the rules move.
