This two-week Sri Lanka and Seychelles itinerary takes you from ancient temples and leopard safaris to the unspoilt granite beaches of Mahé. Spend a week travelling through Sri Lanka's cultural triangle, hill country tea estates and Yala National Park, then unwind for seven nights on Mahé, the largest and most beautiful of the 115 islands that make up the Seychelles. Simply get in touch and tell us what you're looking for - we'll put together a sample itinerary like the one below, then refine every detail until it's exactly right for you.
The Seychelles is the ideal spot to relax after Sri Lanka. With a direct flight time of around 4 hours 15 minutes between Colombo and Mahé, you can be enjoying a Seychelles beach just a few hours after you leave Sri Lanka's hill country behind. The Seychelles is a great year-round add-on for travellers who want guaranteed beach time at the end of their trip.

At Charter Travel, every Sri Lanka and Seychelles itinerary is built from scratch around you. That means we'll work with you to change hotels, adjust durations, add excursions or upgrade your Seychelles resort to suit your budget and travel style. No two Sri Lanka and Seychelles itineraries we create are identical, because no two travellers are the same. Simply tell us what you're looking for and we'll take care of every detail, from your UK departure airport to your final transfer on Mahé.
Our travel advisors have first-hand, personal experience of this Sri Lanka and Seychelles itinerary — they've climbed Sigiriya, ridden the train to Ella and explored the beaches and granite outcrops of Mahé. That means when you ask which hotel suits a couple versus a family in Kandy, or which Seychelles island matches your style, we give you a genuine, informed answer rather than a guess. We work closely with local operators in Sri Lanka and resort partners across the Seychelles, which also helps us secure the best possible prices for your two-week package.
Every Sri Lanka and Seychelles holiday booked with Charter Travel is fully protected by both ABTA and ATOL. That means your money is completely safe, whether you're booking a 2026 or 2027 departure.

Book with total peace of mind, knowing your two-week Sri Lanka and Seychelles holiday is in safe hands from the moment you pay your deposit.

The best time to visit is generally December to March, when Sri Lanka's south and west coasts are dry and sunny. The Seychelles sits outside the main cyclone belt and can be visited year-round, though April–May and October–November bring the lightest winds for beach days and water sports.
Yes — the two destinations complement each other well. Sri Lanka offers culture, wildlife safaris, tea country and scenic train journeys, while the Seychelles delivers some of the world's most beautiful granite-backed beaches and a slower island pace. The short flight between them makes it easy to enjoy an active first week followed by a relaxing second week.
Most travellers spend around 7 days in Sri Lanka covering the cultural triangle, hill country and a wildlife safari, then 7 days in the Seychelles to unwind. A two-week trip, as in this itinerary, gives a comfortable balance, though it can be shortened or extended to suit your schedule.
The direct flight from Colombo to Mahé takes around 4 hours 15 minutes with Air Seychelles, making it a simple, single onward flight rather than a long-haul journey.
British passport holders do not need a visa for the Seychelles, but you must arrange a free travel authorisation before you travel. On arrival you'll be issued a visitor's permit valid for 3 months. Your passport should be valid for the full duration of your stay.
