International lifestyle magazine Vogue recently spotlighted Sri Lanka’s south coast as the ‘must-visit’ destination this winter, thanks to its stunning beaches, rich wildlife and vibrant culture.
The feature (titled ‘Waves to Wildlife, Tea to Tranquility’) paints a picture of a region where adventure meets luxury.
The article showcases properties like Wild Coast Tented Lodge and Cape Weligama, where visitors can enjoy wildlife safaris and pristine beaches. It also highlights the country’s tourism resurgence, driven by sustainable travel and locally focussed luxury, after decades of challenges and hardships.
Vogue’s feature uncovers a special travel route, Route du Bonheur, which connects travellers to some of the island’s most iconic destinations. The trail takes visitors through the rugged wilderness of Yala National Park – which is home to leopard and elephants – beautiful beaches, and tranquil tea plantations in the hill country with traditional afternoon teas and walks through fragrant gardens.
Overall, the piece paints Sri Lanka as a vibrant untamed paradise, making it the ultimate winter escape for those seeking an extraordinary experience.
