With a rich natural landscape and a spiritual heritage that dates back thousands of years, Sri Lanka is the perfect environment in which to escape the trappings of modern life. In tune with this idea a number of Sri Lankan eco-lodges, safari companies and mediation retreats have recently begun to emerge across various regions of the island. Designed to encourage balance, education and preservation of their natural surroundings these camps are ideal for wildlife enthusiasts, nature lovers, yoga pupils and well-being practitioners, as well as anyone looking for an interesting alternative to the standard beach holiday in Sri Lanka.

Luxurious and accessible, these projects in Sri Lanka are of an exceptionally high standard and absolutely fantastic for children (whether a 12 year old or a young at heart 50 year old). What an adventure it would be to sleep in a tree house in Sri Lanka, a mud hut or a tent in the middle of the jungle, where wild elephants roam freely and the noises of the jungle serenade you to sleep.
