You step out of the arrivals hall at Bandaranaike International Airport and the humid, coconut-scented air guides you to a driver holding a nameboard. The vehicle is air-conditioned; the road ahead cuts through lowland plains where rice paddies give way to rubber and coconut stands. As you head inland along the A1 corridor, small towns and colonial-era bridges telescope past the window until the hotel sign for Heritage Ambepussa appears.
