To complement the relaunch of this flightpath, Teardrop Hotels is delighted to offer Hong Kong residents a special 4-day itinerary tailored for traveller’s eager to experience the best of Sri Lanka’s south coast over the Chinese New Year break. The itinerary includes four nights’ accommodation across two boutique hotels in two iconic destinations on Sri Lanka’s south and south-west coast, Fort Bazaar in UNESCO World Heritage Galle Fort and Lunuganga near Bentota.
