TWIN-CENTRE ROMANCE Where: Sri Lanka and Maldives Why: Sri Lanka’s close proximity to the Maldives has long made the duo a big hit with twin-centring couples. The Maldives makes a perfect, relaxing finale to a busy cultural or wildlife tour around Sri Lanka. Plus, as wedding ceremonies aren’t legally binding in the Maldives, couples often choose to honeymoon there having earlier tied the knot in Sri Lanka. Last December SriLankan Airlines heralded the start of international flights to Gan island in the south of the Maldives with its handy new service from Colombo. How to do it: On The Go Tours’ ten-day Sri Lanka and Maldives tour twins a zip around Sri Lanka’s cultural triangle with a five-night stay at a three- star Maldives resort from £1,969pp, excluding flights, with optional resort upgrades available.
