December to April is Sri Lanka's busiest season. Booking six months or more ahead gives you the widest choice.
Why book early
First pick of stays
Small villas and tea bungalows have only a few rooms.
Flight seats
Seaplanes carry up to eight passengers, so seats sell out.
Early-booking hotel rates
When hotels offer early-booking rates, we pass them on in your quote.
Deposit
A deposit confirms your trip; the balance is due 60 days before you arrive. See booking and payment.
