How Much Does Food Cost in Sri Lanka?
One of the first things we get excited about with any of our destinations is figuring out just how excited we need to be about the food… and the answer is always very.
When it comes to Sri Lanka, expect everything from fragrant curries to fresh seafood, plus a love of sweet desserts.
Street food in Sri Lanka is a must-do, with most items costing as little as £1-2 – expect to ample coconut rotis, sour fish curries, Ceylon tea, egg hoppers and loads more.
You can tuck into a hearty meal at a local restaurant for as little as £5 while more upmarket restaurants or eateries in bigger cities will cost around £10-15 for a main.
On our Best of Sri Lanka trip, we include some meals in our package, but we also encourage our travellers to explore local eateries to really get the best of Sri Lankan cuisine.
Is Accommodation Cheap in Sri Lanka?
As with most places, accommodation costs vary in Sri Lanka depending on your preferences, whereabouts you’re staying, and how long you’re staying for.
You can find a good budget guesthouse for as little as £10 a night, while at the more luxury end, things can cost upwards of £100 per night.
The good news is that on our Sri Lanka trips, we carefully select comfortable, mid-range locations that we’re familiar with so you’re safe and sound in the knowledge that at the end of each day, you’ll have a comfortable bed for a good night’s rest.
It’s a mixture of beachfront hotels, mountain lodges, and city centre properties all chosen carefully after years of running our Best of Sri Lanka adventure.
