Luxury Travel Maldives- Urbane Nomads- Sample Itinerary

This 13-day itinerary combines the cultural highlights of Sri Lanka ending in superlative luxury in the Maldives.
Day 1-3:You'll be met at the airport on arrival by our local representatives and whisked through immigration. Here, you can choose to take up our option of spending a night or two at an eco-resort in Anamaduwa, which would only be a 2.5hour drive from Bandaranaike International Airport. Please enquire with us as to the costs of adding this option. Alternatively,take a 4.5 hour transfer to the cultural triangle, staying at the Vil Uyana. The Vil Uyana is a magnificent hotel with a view onto Sigiriya.
Day 3-5:Kandy- The last royal capital of Sri Lanka, Kandy is also the site of the Kandy Perahera, a colourful festival featuring elephant parades, Kandyan dancers and street festivities. Here you'll visit the Old Royal Palace compound- the concubines' quarters, the queen's chambers and the armory. Intricate wooden carvings of 14th century shrines are also another highlight of Kandy. This being the cultural capital of Sri Lanka, you'll find some of Sri Lanka's best artisans at work here, with products being available for purchase.
Day 5-7 Transfer today, to Galle. Based at either the Tamarind Hill or The Fortress. While the cultural attraction is the UNESCO World Heritage site of Old Galle with its ramparts and a port that attracted merchants who came for its 'gold, silver, ivory, apes and peacocks', New Galle by contrast, is its vibrant counterside with a lively expat community, chic cafes and a high concentration of boutique hotels that have placed Sri Lanka on the Conde Nast traveller circuit.
Day 7-8:Drive back today to Colombo. Based at the Tintagel/ Park Street Colombo. Spend a day at leisure, possibly have tea at the Gallery Cafe and prepare for your onward flight to the Maldives tomorrow.
