Thotalagala Hotel - Haputale














Hillside tea-planter’s bungalow turned boutique hotel Thotalagala is a colonial-style, seven-room stay, decorated with original 19th-century furnishings and odes to the heritage of Sri Lankan Hill Country. Take alfresco breakfasts on the emerald-green lawn and look out over rolling tea plantations as you nibble baked goods and sip locally grown tea; in the evenings, dine in old-world splendour at the long antique dining table. Spend your days exploring the grounds, climbing up to nearby Lipton’s Seat, or simply lounging on the cream-coloured sofas in-between tea times.

Each of the seven rooms is individually decorated with antique furnishings – a roll-top desk here, an artfully arranged taxonomy of fragrant plants there – and named after a historical figure with a tea-country connection. We especially like the stunning four-poster bed in the Rev Walter Senior room.

Mountbatten Bungalow - Kandy






Royal service need not only be reserved for royalty. Step into the Victorian era of grace and beauty. Welcome to Mountbatten Bungalow Sri Lanka. Once the alleged Kandy Residence of Lord Mountbatten, this century old bungalow is one of the most sought after bungalows in Kandy that has been renovated and refurbished into an up-market boutique theme bungalow.
The land originally belonged to the Mount Pleasant Tea Company; it derived its prestigious name by functioning as a war office during World War II and doubled up as one of the private residences of Lord Louis Mountbatten, 1st Earl Mountbatten of Burma who was a close relative of the British Royal Family.

Ceylon Tea Trails - Hatton


Tea Trails is the world’s first tea bungalow resort, perched at an altitude of 1250 metres in Sri Lanka’s panoramic Ceylon tea region, bordering the World Heritage Central Highlands. The four bungalows vary in size from 4 to 6 rooms & suites; 20 in all. Each bungalow is unique – lakeside Castlereagh & Summerville, Norwood with panoramic views and Tientsin, the most traditional colonial.
This is the ideal setting for trekking and biking against the breathtaking backdrop of mountains, lakes, winding roads and waterfalls. If you prefer to unwind, observe life on a working tea estate while being pampered by your butler, enjoy a spa treatment, croquet on the lawn or sunbathe alongside the pool. Or explore the lush tea fields & visit a century old factory for a gentle education in the art of Ceylon Tea.
Rates at Tea Trails are fully inclusive of gourmet meals and drinks, including top shelf spirits and wines. Even service charges, taxes and laundry are included. We won’t bother you with bills. 
Your day starts with the tradition of Bed Tea served by your Butler, who will also draw your bath. Your Chef will then suggest meals based on fresh produce and home grown vegetables and herbs. Guests can indulge in dishes from western fare to traditional Sri Lankan classics and tea inspired dishes. The afternoon cream tea is to die for! Work the gourmet meals off with a dawn expedition to climb the famed 2250m Adam’s Peak holy mountain. The Peak has been an object of worship & pilgrimage by kings and commoners for centuries. Or take a day trip to the UNESCO World Heritage sacred city of Kandy.
At Tea Trails, we promise you an unforgettable holiday that will rejuvenate your spirit in the heart of the magical world of Ceylon tea.
