Last minute holidays to Sri Lanka
Best time of year for a last minute holiday to Sri Lanka
Visiting Sri Lanka is a momentous occasion all year round with stunning weather experienced for the majority of the time. Like neighbouring Maldives, the proximity to the equator makes for stable warm temperature whatever the season. Although for such a small country, there is a big variation in climate depending on the time of year and region of the island you embark.
The annual dual monsoons mean whenever one side of the country is taking a soaking, the other is primed for days sunning at the shore. They are also commonly referred to as the Yala monsoon (south-west; April-September) and the Maha (north-east; November-March). So, the best time to book a last-minute trip to Sri Lanka would be between November-April for Galle and the South Coast, as well as Colombo and West Coast, or February-September for the Cultural Triangle and North Coast.
Best destinations for a last minute holiday to Sri Lanka
Leaving a holiday booking until the last minute can often be a risk, especially in a smaller destination like sunny Sri Lanka. So, no matter how spontaneous you’re feeling for a perfect holiday, it’s best to bear in mind not every excursion or activity will be available. Therefore, why not check out our things to do in Sri Lanka to find some amazing ideas that do not need advanced booking.
Galle and the South Coast as well as Colombo and the West Coast will be your best bet for an idyllic last-minute escape. This is because larger resorts with a vast number of rooms and space are predominantly found here, perfect for an empty room, spacious villa or secluded apartment to be snapped up when you need one. Larger cities are available for exploration, as well as coastal towns and lush wilderness to sink your teeth into and indulge in the rich city and countryside culture.
