Tailor-Made Sri Lanka Cricket Holidays

With its impossibly friendly locals, world-class scenery, vibrant cuisine and deep-rooted culture, Sri Lanka is easily one of our favourite places to combine luxury travel with world-class cricket.

What this pint-sized island may lack in size, it more than makes up for in character, particularly when it comes to cricket. What sets it apart is that there's so much to discover beyond the cricket ground, and it's all so close together.

As well as watching scintillating cricket in the best seats, we tailor experiences between matches to uncover the secrets of ancient jungle temples, connect with local wildlife at ethical elephant sanctuaries, and embark on a scenic journey through the undulating hills of the picturesque Tea Country

"There is so much to explore when it comes to Sri Lanka. The history, culture and wildlife can keep you captivated. Combine that with world-class cricket and you have a perfect holiday."
- Simon Gee, Product Manager

Discover Sri Lanka

Of course, there’s plenty more to discover beyond on a cricket holiday: thousands of years of history, jaw-dropping landscapes, world-class beaches, captivating cuisine, amazing shopping and endless adventure.

Awash with waterfalls, forested mountains, vibrant coastal cities and long palm-lined beaches – but just 341 miles across at its widest point – it’s easy to build an action-packed and varied holiday in just a short space of time.

Thanks to our long-standing contacts on the island, we’re always among the first to hear the latest cricket news, meaning we can secure the best hotels, private hospitality and access to exclusive events.

Seasoned Sri Lanka travellers will be delighted to learn that we’re expanding our excursion and activity options on the island and look forward to offering even more adventure with tailor-made twin-centres across the Indian Ocean.

Bespoke Sri Lanka Cricket Holidays

There are so many options when it comes to creating a tailored cricket holiday to Sri Lanka, and its size lends itself well to a holiday that combines culture, wildlife and relaxation across its four main areas.

In Colombo, dive into a sunset street-food tour before savouring an arrack tasting or a round at the historic Royal Colombo Golf Club. Head to Dambulla to explore the 22-century-old cave temples, then climb the dramatic Sigiriya Rock Fortress for panoramic jungle views.

In Kandy, visit the sacred Temple of the Tooth, wander the bustling markets and enjoy a private “Day in the Life of a Monk” experience. Finally, venture into the Knuckles Mountain Range or join a big-game drive at Minneriya for unforgettable wildlife encounters.

Get more out of your Cricket Holiday

Our travel expertise also extends beyond Sri Lanka, and we’d be delighted to help create a holiday extension to another paradise for some well-earned relaxation before or after your cricket tour.

At the northern tip of the Indian Ocean, Sri Lanka is well suited for sun-kissed beach escapes to the Seychelles, Maldives and Mauritius. Equally, when flying from the UK, Dubai and Abu Dhabi are glamorous sand and city stop-offs on the way to this incredible cricket destination.

Our Sri Lanka cricket holidays include guaranteed tickets for your chosen matches with hospitality upgrade options, plus transfers to and from the ground. Your holiday will also include return flights and assistance from our team in Sri Lanka, and we only offer stays in the most luxurious hotels.

We work closely with the Sri Lankan cricket authorities to receive tickets as soon as possible. Tickets will be provided in Sri Lanka upon your arrival, and normally at least two days before the event.

Our travel experts and several of our regular clients have been visiting Sri Lanka for a long time. Over this time, we've listened to feedback and used our experience to find the best sections in each country's top venues. We endeavour to deliver the perfect viewpoint, whether that’s looking towards the fort at Galle or behind the bowler's arm at Pallekelle. 

Sri Lanka is one of our favourite destinations, with a bounty of breathtaking culture, history and scenery to explore. All our tours include a selection of excursions and days at leisure to make the most of the fantastic setting - and each itinerary is flexible too, so you can completely personalise your holiday, including holiday extensions in the Indian Ocean and beyond.

Yes! Every Inspiring Travel holiday is entirely bespoke, so we work around your preferences. We can arrange for you to take in an ODI at the R Premadasa Stadium before enjoying a few days' sightseeing around Colombo, or witness a double header of IT20 cricket with cultural and culinary tours of Kandy in between.

Whatever your tastes, we'll create the perfect holiday that sprinkles in time to enjoy the island's famous beaches, sample spectacular cuisine (don't miss kottu roti!) and immerse in Sri Lanka's amazing history.

We don't just sell tickets—we offer the entire travel experience. We take care of everything from flights and transfers to hotel stays and sightseeing excursions—and of course, the ultimate experience of watching the cricket!
