The first location will be the seaside town of Negombo, which has long been renowned as Sri Lanka’s most popular resort, noted for its golden sandy beach, food, and entertainment. We haven’t booked any activities for day one, so you can arrive in Sri Lanka whenever you choose. If your flight arrives early in the morning, unwind at your lovely hotel’s beach and pool.
