What is the best time of the year to plan a honeymoon in Sri Lanka?

Sri Lanka is a year round holiday destination, hence any time is holiday time in Sri Lanka. Although there are two monsoons that affect the country every year, the rains are regional. So if one coastal area is experiencing monsoons, the other coasts have ideal weather conditions for a holiday.

Does the rainy season affect planning a Sri Lanka honeymoon?
The Northeast monsoon in Sri Lanka affects the north and east coastlines during the months of October to February. At this time, it is best to visit the south west coast. From May to September is when the south west coast is hit with rains and the north and east regions are better for holiday-ing.

With that being said, rains in Sri Lanka are only for a short period of time. So even if one morning you wake up to a rainy day, high chances are that the sun will come out later that day or at least the next day. Hence your holiday, at any time of the year, in any part of the country, will not be sabotaged with rain.
