Sri Lanka Babymoon Tour: A Gentle Holiday for Parents-to-Be
Nuwara Eliya tea plantation
Quick answer: A Sri Lanka babymoon tour is a slow, comfortable holiday for parents-to-be: short drives, two or three nights in each place, gentle sightseeing, calm beaches and plenty of rest. A typical 8–10 day route covers Kandy, a tea country stay, a relaxed safari in Udawalawe and a beach on the south or east coast, depending on the season. Talk to your doctor before you travel, check your airline's pregnancy rules, and take care with mosquitoes, heat and steep climbs.
Free, no-obligation written plan. Tailor-made to your dates.
A babymoon is about time together before life changes. Sri Lanka's warm welcome, beautiful hotels and short distances make it ideal, as long as the trip is planned at a gentle pace. We take care of the details, so you can relax.

Health and safety
