Sri Lanka is making waves in 2025 as one of the world’s top travel destinations. Ranked 9th in BBC Travel’s “Best Places to Visit in 2025”, this island nation is captivating travellers with its rich cultural heritage, diverse landscapes, and a renewed focus on sustainable tourism.
A Surge in Tourist Arrivals
The Sri Lanka Tourism Development Authority reported a significant increase in international arrivals, with 33,910 visitors in the first week of May 2025 alone. This surge reflects the country’s successful promotional campaigns, infrastructure development, and renewed traveler confidence.
Wellness and Eco-Tourism on the Rise
Modern travellers are prioritizing sustainability and self-care. In response, Sri Lanka is offering incredible wellness retreats nestled in its hill country, eco-lodges surrounded by forests, and Ayurveda healing experiences that date back thousands of years.
Destinations like Ella, Kandy, and Arugam Bay are emerging as hotspots for digital detox and nature-based retreats. According to HotelExpress.lk, eco-tourism is among the top emerging trends for 2025 in Sri Lanka.
Wildlife and Adventure Await
Sri Lanka’s unique biodiversity makes it one of the best places in Asia for wildlife adventures. Explore:
- Yala National Park – home to leopards, elephants, and sloth bears
- Minneriya National Park – famous for “The Gathering” of wild elephants
- Mirissa – a top destination for whale watching between November and April
