Sri Lanka Travel Guides

What to wear in Sri Lanka

Each tourist who visits Sri Lanka will have their own ‘capsule wardrobe’ with them for everyday wear whilst on vacation. But it’s how you wear these basic pieces and how you accessorize them that will set you apart from your fellow travellers.

Tipping in Sri Lanka

Sri Lankans are used to a tipping culture and would expect to receive a tip in normal circumstances but don’t feel obliged to tip if you receive bad service. With wages being low in comparison to Western standards, a tip can go a long way.

Best beaches in Sri Lanka

For such a small island the variety and availability of beaches is fantastic. In fact, there are so many it can be a little difficult to choose, so we thought it was a good time to take a look at the best beaches in Sri Lanka.
