Ceylon Tea Trails
Astounding views out over green tea fields and misty mountains
An elegant luxury resort
The Ceylon Tea Trails resort is the ideal place from which to explore this breathtaking part of Sri Lanka.
Dating back to colonial times, five spacious bungalows feature antique furniture and exemplary, personalised service. With between four and six rooms, they are perfect for families and small groups.
All of the 26 rooms and suites, which are named after tea planters who lived there, are elegantly outfitted in natural colours and materials, and make for a tranquil escape. Spend time out on the veranda in the fresh mountain air enjoying the views of Castlereagh Lake, the Bogawantalawa Valley and Dunkeld Estate; or curl up with a book in front of a fire.
Take long, leisurely walks through the tea plantations learning all about the ancient process of making tea, enjoy a tempting spread of sweet treats on the lawns or have a light lunch at the pool side. Sri Lankan-inspired meals at Ceylon Tea Trails feature the freshest of seasonal produce with home grown vegetables, herbs and teas from the estate. Rates at Tea Trails are fully inclusive of meals and drinks.
Make the most of the calming surroundings and start the day with an aromatic bath, or treat yourself to a selection of therapeutic spa treatments in your room. Get a healthy dose of fresh air and explore some of the walking and biking routes through the mountains, or enjoy a game of tennis or croquet.
The impact of your stay:
Ceylon Tea Trails, located in the heart of Sri Lanka’s tea plantations, addresses the vulnerabilities faced by those working in the tea industry, who are often at risk of poverty. Through the Ceylon Tea Trails Foundation, the hotel supports local communities with initiatives such as housing, health centres, and educational scholarships. Additionally, the foundation runs programs for the disabled and partners with the Colombo Academy of Hospitality Management for hospitality training, showcasing a commitment to holistic community well-being. Ceylon Tea Trails is deeply engaged in wildlife conservation efforts, collaborating with prominent organisations such as the Department of Wildlife Conservation and the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWCT). Their initiatives span across diverse projects, including hill country leopard conservation in partnership with the IUCN.
