Here are highly recommended romantic, luxury resorts in Sri Lanka that are known for privacy and seclusion — each with a short note on why it’s romantic, where it is, and the kind of couple who’ll love it. I’ve included recent sources for each property so you can read details and check availability.

Practical tips for maximum privacy and romance

• Book villas or private‑pool suites (not standard rooms) — they’re the biggest step up in seclusion. (hidmc.com)
• Consider exclusive‑use options (some properties and private islands are rentable whole). (expressionsholidays.co.uk)
• Choose shoulder season dates (May–June or September–October) for fewer crowds but generally good weather in many coastal areas — check current weather/seasonality before booking. (ceyloninsidertravels.com)
• Request private dining, in‑villa spa treatments, and airport transfers to avoid public spaces. Most luxury resorts will arrange bespoke romantic experiences. (hidmc.com)

If you’d like, I can:

• Narrow these to “top 5” in a specific budget range (mid‑luxury vs ultra‑luxury), or
• Compare 2–3 options for a particular week/date you’re considering (I’ll check availability/rates), or
• Send direct booking pages and contact details for any properties above.

Which of those would you like me to do next?
