Ibiza or Sri Lanka in September?

[Chocbuttonsandredwine]

Random i know. And totally different. And I can’t decide although I’d ask the wisom
of MN

Have always wanted to go to both
Ibiza hotel booked (not paid) in a quieter part of the island but with a plan to go to a few clubs and see a few djs. Sorted

Then I went to Langkawi recently and realised I love the chilled beach/sunset/relaxed way of that holiday. And it got me wondering.

couple mid 40s normally do Greece/spain/italy. Like nice towels but chilled vibe of cocktails, wandering and doing a few bits.

factoring in hotel in Ibiza/ling haul flights/super clubs/cheap accommodation in Asia there doesn’t seem to be much in it price wise. Ibiza would be a week, SL 10 days. Would probably head to east of island in SLfor better weather

any thoughts before I roll a dice 🤣

Sri Lanka will be monsoon season still in the south and west in Sept.

Sorry, seen you’d said you’d head east. Which I guess would be fine if you just want a beach holiday but imho the better beaches (and other stuff) are in the south and central.

Thanks, I didn’t know that.. moth the best places for weather in September apparently

Could
Push Sri Lanka to Feb which seems more favourable

Yes most people would go Jan/feb/march.

A long way to go just for a beach, but Sri Lanka is amazing.

Not just beach, animals and cultural stuff too. See post “wandering and a few bits/“ tea plantation, elephant sanctuary, temples. Not just a beach

Sri Lanka is stunning, people are lovely, it’s a wild drive, but worth touring round IMO. Ibiza is totally different and not a patch on Sri Lanka. Food in SL is also amazing.

Do research the elephant sanctuaries. There’s a lot of chatter on social media about how they’re not real sanctuaries but are set up as a tourist attraction and mistreat the elephants. I think there’s one near Yala national park which is better thought of but the famous Pinwala (sp) orphanage isn’t meant to be very good I don’t think.

Absolutely would. Have read similar things and def wouldn’t want to go anywhere that wasn’t 💯 about elephants.

im that person who take's a suitcase of dreamies for the stray cats every time we go away
