Great — here are highly recommended romantic honeymoon resorts across Sri Lanka, with a short description of what makes each one special, where they are, typical honeymoon highlights and a rough price/season note.

Practical tips for honeymoon planning in Sri Lanka

• Best overall months for beach + most resorts: December–March (drier on south/west coasts). The south has additional good windows (May–November) depending on property promotions. For hill country choose months outside the heaviest monsoon spells. (Anantara.com)
• Book romantic add-ons early (spa, private dinners, room decorations) — resorts sell out these extras during peak months. Many resorts publish honeymoon packages on their sites (examples: Heritance Kandalama, Anantara). (heritancehotels.com)
• Transfers: southern resorts are typically 2.5–4 hours from Bandaranaike Intl Airport (Colombo); hill-country and cultural triangle transfers vary — confirm estimated transfer time with the resort. (Anantara.com)

If you’d like, I can:

• Narrow choices to a budget range (luxury vs boutique vs mid-range).
• Build a 7–10 day honeymoon itinerary that combines two of these areas (e.g., hill country + south coast).
• Check current availability or honeymoon offers for specific resorts and exact travel dates (I’ll look up live offers and rates).

Which would you prefer next: a shortlist by budget, an itinerary, or live package/offers for a specific resort and date?
