Ceylon Tea Trails

Layout

With period furnishings, gracious butler service and fine dining, the non-hotel-like atmosphere has made Tea Trails the gold standard of luxury in Sri Lanka.
The sky awakens in a burst of colour, illuminating the valleys beyond. Seaplane landing on Castlereagh Lake. A butler serves you your first cup of tea of the day. The sulphurous aroma fills the air. Relax and rejuvenate. Immerse yourself in luxurious comfort and unwind in the cool climate that envelops the five tea planters' bungalows, and rediscover true purpose and joy.

Upcycle - Are you mindful of the environment and society? In the bungalows, waste of all kinds is sorted so that it can be reused, recycled or disposed of responsibly. Some materials, such as glass, metals, beads and thread, can be recycled into handicrafts, including jewellery. Other materials such as paint, glue and paper can be provided on request.

Rooms

The rooms are named after the tea planters who once lived in the bungalow. They offer a taste of heritage luxury, with solid teak furniture, antique touches and plush beds. The Master Suites feature a separate lounge, the Garden Suites a veranda overlooking a private garden, and the Luxury Rooms have great character. The owner's cottage stands apart. Unwind in vast four-poster beds with crisp white linen. Twenty-six elegant and characterful rooms and suites, each decorated in its own distinct style.

A dedicated butler service is available to guests from dawn to dusk, ensuring no request is too difficult to fulfil. Guests can also enjoy the traditional morning “Bed Tea” to start the day well.

A shuttle and luggage service is offered free of charge to guests moving between bungalows.

Activities offered

Experiences are carefully selected to offer an authentic, intimate exploration of the essence of Sri Lanka, with a good dose of fun, adventure and pampering, along with holistic wellness to soothe mind, body and soul. A selection of activities geared toward families — with special options for children — is also available to round off the perfect getaway.
