Where is Sri Lanka on the map?

Trying to pinpoint Sri Lanka on a world map? It’s actually really easy to spot once you know the general area. First, look for South Asia and find India. Right below its southern coast, floating completely on its own in the middle of the Indian Ocean, you'll see a small island shaped almost exactly like a teardrop. That’s Sri Lanka! (And just to clear up a common mix-up - no, Sri Lanka is not a part of India at all).

Because it's an island, we don't share land borders with any other country. It's just endless ocean everywhere you look. If you want to get technical about the surrounding waters, the Bay of Bengal sits to our northeast, and the Arabian Sea is over on the northwest side.

Guests always ask about our weather, and the answer is our location. We sit just a few degrees north of the equator. That is exactly why the island gets such amazing tropical sunshine all year long. (If you're wondering about the rainy seasons, it's worth checking out our guide on the best time to visit Sri Lanka). Finding a flight here is easy too. We are right in the middle of major international flight paths, so traveling here from anywhere in the world is usually a very smooth process.
