What to do in The South Coast

Sri Lanka's South Coast is a treasure trove of blissful beaches where you can spend your days lazing on the sand or take the more active tack with an array of offerings including surfing, snorkelling and diving, waterskiing, kayaking and sailing trips. If you're visiting in the right season, you could even join the efforts for sea turtle conservation. Head a little inland and you'll discover hidden trails to ancient temples, beautiful lakes and lowland tea farms to visit. Galle Fort is the place to be if you're a history buff and cycling through the town is a wonderful way to see it all.

Sailing & houseboats

Enjoy a watery & endlessly scenic journey
There’s an inescapable sense of peace that settles over you as you glide across serene waters, a gentle breeze blowing by and a drink in hand. Delightful… As for the setting, how about sailing down the Nile in an authentic felucca or drifting off the coast of Zanzibar in a traditional dhow? Maybe cruising across Lake Titicaca at sunset is more your cup of tea, or even idling through the Kerala Backwaters in a houseboat? All different, all equally as striking.

Beach

Set your compass for somewhere sun-kissed
After an epic safari, city exploration or cultural encounter, there’s nothing better than enjoying some downtime on a picturesque beach. And what’s more, it’s easier than ever to book this winning combination. After a gorilla trek in Rwanda, you could make a beeline for a private island in the Seychelles, or enjoy Cambodia’s sensational beaches following an illuminating visit to Angkor Wat, or take your pick of coastlines after ziplining through the forests of Costa Rica. And hey, there’s nothing wrong with heading straight for the sand and sea either.

Food & cooking

The best cafe culture south of Paris
If you thought South Africa had it all, then you would be absolutely right. As well as ticking all the top safari and beach boxes, it’s also something of a gastro-getaway. Enter Cape Town and the Winelands, the country’s (actually, make that continent’s) food and wine nirvana. With cooler-than-a-cucumber restaurants around every corner and the best cafe culture south of Paris, Cape Town should be the first stop on every foodies’ list. Follow that with the award-winning restaurants of the Cape Winelands (and several glasses of Pinotage) and all your culinary dreams really will come true.

Forts & palaces

The grandest of the grand
Step through a grand doorway and into a different era of powerful dynasties, lavish banquets, and lives lived on an epic scale. The world’s great forts and palaces aren’t just eye candy (though they are definitely that, too), but a living, breathing history with stories etched into every fresco and flagstone. Whether you’re wandering through ruins in Cambodia, getting goosebumps in ancient throne rooms in Jaipur, or marvelling at ornate architecture in Sri Lanka, these great testaments to humankind’s ingenuity tell magnificent tales of old and add a little something to any trip.
