There are few better family destinations than Sri Lanka, it offers so much variety that there’s something for everyone, and the short journeys are ideal for youngsters. We find that most families particularly enjoy heading out by jeep in any of the national parks, along with whale watching, cycling tours and hiking in the hill country. There’s innumerable beaches to explore, unusual accommodation to enjoy an tribal villages to get to know. It’s educational, active and stress free – the ideal combination for a family break.
