76 of the best holiday destinations for 2023: a month

It’s hard to think of any other destination offering such a seductive combination of history, culture, wildlife and cuisine, all surrounded by some of the world’s most beautiful beaches. Flight prices aren’t cheap — they’re more than £1,300 return at Easter — and for all its attractions Sri Lanka is wasted on young children: it’s too intense, and when you’ve seen one temple at seven years of age you’ve seen them all. This two-week Sustainable Sri Lanka trip is aimed at families with teenagers, staying exclusively at properties run by the Sri Lankan-owned Jetwing group, a global leader in sustainable luxury. It begins in Kandy before heading into tea country for a day on the new Pekoe Trail, a long-distance footpath through the plantations. Next there’s cycling through the paddies at Kaduruketha, an elephant safari in Kumana National Park, beach time and a thrilling off-road tuk-tuk expedition at Arugam Bay and time to relax at the Jetwing Lighthouse hotel in Galle. And there’s always a chance of cricket.
