✈️ Flights to Sri Lanka

For your comfort, I have selected some of the most convenient flight options to Sri Lanka.
Below you'll find several reliable airlines that operate regular flights from Europe to Colombo (CMB):

• Air Arabia – excellent value for money, often with a short stopover in Sharjah

• Fly Dubai – modern aircraft, great service, stopover in Dubai

• Emirates – maximum comfort and seamless flight connections via Dubai

I recommend booking your flight well in advance, as the best offers are usually available 2–3 months before departure.

💫 To ensure a calm and effortless start to your journey, I suggest arriving in Sri Lanka one day before the retreat begins and departing one day after it ends.
For those extra days, it's most convenient to stay in Colombo, allowing yourself time to unwind after the flight, acclimatize gently, and enter the retreat with ease, presence, and full awareness.
