Set in Sri Lanka's prestigious Golden Valley, Ceylon Tea Trails offers an exquisite Relais & Châteaux experience across five colonial-style bungalows, where personal butlers, gourmet dining, and magnificent lake views combine with outdoor adventures to create an enchanting escape that embodies the refined elegance of Hill Country's tea plantation heritage.
A sprawling tea estate in Hill Country dotted with luxurious tea-planter bungalows, decorated in colonial style. Visiting Ceylon Tea Trails is like stepping back in time, with butler service, afternoon tea and lawn croquet.
The five bungalows of Ceylon Tea Trails are scattered among the hillsides of Sri Lanka’s Golden Valley of tea, Bogawantalawa. Around a five-hour drive from Colombo and two hours from Kandy, it is set in the cool, verdant hills so loved by the British during the colonial era, with bungalows dotted around Castlereagh Lake, offering nothing but uninterrupted valley views, absolute quiet and a small local village to visit. The idea is to disconnect and lose yourself in time while enjoying the pristine scenery. Hiking, biking and boat trips are offered in the surrounding area, alongside day excursions to tourist highlights such as Sri Lanka’s highest town, Nuwara Eliya, two hours away.
A Relais Chateaux Property: The Ceylon Tea Trails offers Sri Lankan hospitality at its absolute best. Each bungalow has a butler and executive chef who will take care of your every need, discussing the day’s menu and activities available over breakfast.
