Experiential luxury travel brand &Beyond recently introduced Skyscape Sri Lanka: Aerial Journeys Over Paradise, a seamless 12-night itinerary designed for discerning travellers seeking the ultimate combination of exclusivity, cultural immersion, and effortless air transfers.
This tailormade journey unveils Sri Lanka’s scenic diversity with an elevated twist…literally.
At the heart of the itinerary lies a curated series of private charter flights, offering direct, time-efficient connections between some of the country’s most iconic and remote destinations.
Travellers bypass long road journeys and enjoy panoramic aerial views of tea plantations, cultural citadels, tropical beaches and forested hills; all from the comfort of amphibian aircraft such as the Cessna 208B Caravan.
Absolute comfort and convenience from start to finish
From the moment guests arrive at Bandaranaike International Airport, they are fast-tracked through the Silk Route VIP service and ushered to their awaiting aircraft for a 30-minute scenic flight to the cultural triangle of Sigiriya.
Over the following days, the journey effortlessly flows between remote locations; from Anuradhapura to Kandy’s Victoria Reservoir, then onward by air to the cool climes of Hatton, the southern beaches of Tangalle, the Dutch Fort at Galle, and back to Colombo via chartered aerial routes that prioritise ease, privacy and perspective.
Each charter leg is thoughtfully timed and operated between 7:00 and 15:00, maximising daylight and avoiding logistical delays.
The aircrafts are suited for groups of up to six to eight guests, depending on routing, with weight restrictions factored in to ensure optimal safety and comfort.
Whether landing on scenic reservoirs or domestic runways, transitions are swift and scenic, with door-to-door transfers handled by a dedicated &Beyond chauffeur-guide throughout.
Cultural immersion is part of the journey
Beyond its aerial fluidity, the journey also immerses guests in Sri Lanka’s natural and cultural treasures, from sunrise hikes up Sigiriya’s Lion Rock to temple visits in Kandy, tea field walks in Hatton and barefoot moments along the untouched beaches of Tangalle.
Accommodation includes Sri Lanka’s finest boutique properties such as Water Garden Sigiriya, Uga Ulagalla, W15 Hanthana, Ceylon Tea Trails, Taru Villas Mawella, and The Wallawwa seamlessly stitched together with unparalleled logistics and luxurious charm.
With sustainability, privacy and elegance at its core, Skyscape Sri Lanka is available for private booking between January and October, excluding peak festival dates.
Relevant inclusions
The experience is priced from US$15,200 per person based on two guests sharing, inclusive of five private charters, luxury accommodation, ground transfers and select meals and experiences.
Private charter flights connecting various destinations in Sri Lanka can also be booked for guests travelling on other itineraries.
This is an excellent option for those who wish to decrease their travel time and avoid long road journeys.
