Review at a glance: ★★★★☆
The word is that Sri Lanka is the new Bali, or at least the Bali that was, before the influencers colonised it. The attractions are obvious: palm trees by the bushel; endless lengths of sand; the chance to lean, studiously carefree, from a moving train. Stumbling off the Northern Line at Colindale just isn’t quite the same.
