Family & Halal-Friendly Holidays

Family holidays

A family holiday works best when the pace suits both the youngest and the oldest traveller. We plan around your family, not a fixed route.

• A private vehicle with a driver, so each day follows your family's rhythm and drives can be kept short.
• Rooms to suit your family: family or connecting rooms where a hotel offers them, confirmed before you book.
• Wildlife drives that suit your group. Some parks, such as Udawalawe, have shorter, gentler routes that suit young children and older relatives.
• Beach time after sightseeing, on Sri Lanka's south or west coast or at a resort in the Maldives.

Halal-friendly travel

Halal-friendly means we arrange it for your trip and confirm it with each hotel or resort before you travel. It is not a halal certification of a hotel or restaurant. We do not call a hotel or restaurant halal-certified unless the property can show that it is, and we tell you plainly if there is something we cannot confirm.

• Halal meals arranged with the hotel or resort kitchen.
• Sightseeing and driving days planned around prayer times, with prayer-time stops.
• Alcohol-free celebration set-ups where you ask for them.
• Privacy preferences, such as rooms or villas with more seclusion.
• Vegetarian, vegan and allergy needs, confirmed in the same way.

What to tell us when you enquire

The more we know, the more exactly we can plan. We confirm availability and prices in your quotation.

• Your travel dates, or the months you are considering.
• How many adults are travelling, and the children's ages.
• Room needs: for example connecting rooms or a family villa.
• Meal needs: halal, vegetarian, vegan or allergies.
• Prayer-time needs during the day.
• Places you would like to see, and your budget.

Frequently asked questions

Can Figo Holidays arrange halal-friendly itineraries?

Yes, on request. Tell us your needs when you enquire and we arrange halal meals and prayer-time stops, and confirm them with the hotels and restaurants before you travel.

Are your hotels and restaurants halal-certified?

We arrange halal-friendly meals and confirm them with each property. We do not call a hotel or restaurant halal-certified unless the property can show that it is. Ask us about a particular property and we tell you what we can confirm.

Can prayer times be planned into the itinerary?

Yes. Tell us when you enquire and we plan sightseeing and driving days around prayer times, with prayer-time stops.

Is a family holiday with Figo Holidays private?

Our tours are private: your own vehicle and driver for your party only. Safari drives use a vehicle reserved for your party, but the national parks themselves are shared with other visitors.

Can young children and older relatives join a safari?

Yes. Parks differ: some, such as Udawalawe, have shorter and gentler routes. For longer parks we suggest shorter morning drives rather than a full day. Tell us who is travelling and we advise.

What should I tell you when I enquire?

Your dates, how many adults and the children's ages, room needs, meal needs such as halal, vegetarian or allergies, prayer-time needs, the places you want to see and your budget.
