    Price / Availability
    • Payless tours indiaOperator•Written January 2026

      We can make this tour a private one only for you. We can offer you upgrading accommodation to 4 star hotels in Sri Lanka and if you wish we can add 2 or 3 nights in a water villa in Maldives for you? Hotel in Maldives which is included in the package is a 4 star property. The rooms are spacious and overlook the sea. There are also excursions included that are really exciting. You should be really happy with the accommodation ad adventures in Maafushi. However, if you would like to spend 2 or 3 nights in a luxury resort as well we can add this too. Please note that water villa stay will increase the price of the package since it is quite expensive.

    I would like to know which hotels. I work in Hotel industry & I am a bit fussy with where I stay.

    Accommodation
    • Payless tours indiaOperator•Written May 2025

      Hotel name will be visible after your final confirmation, however we usually provide a hotel in Maafushi like Kani or one of Triton group. Hotels are always by the beach, seaview and spacious. If you would like to stay in a beach resort or a water villa, we can upgrade the accommodation but it will cost much more.

  • J

    Jade

    Asked on April 7th, 2025

    What is the star rating on the accommodation? Are the trips customisable based on group of 8 adults? We want to stay on a resort in Maldives preferably on a overwater bungalow for around 3 days, not stay on a boat. Is this possible? There are a few things we want to do in Sri Lanka like take the train ride and visit Sigiriya.
