Nuwara Eliya is one of the highest points in Sri Lanka’s central hill country, and the views at Broomfield by Jetwing do not disappoint. This elegant six-bedroom villa looks out over the idyllic Gregory Lake and town centre, with endless rolling tea plantations beyond. Nearby is the spectacular Horton Plains National Park with the dramatic World’s End viewpoint, as well as heritage tea factories and pretty botanical gardens.

With a 150-year history, Broomfield by Jetwing is suffused with old-world charm but interiors have been tastefully modernized with colourful furnishings and polished cement bathrooms with walk-in hot-water showers. Room options range from Deluxe to the Master Suite. All rooms have large four-poster beds and a separate sitting area, while the Master Suite has the benefit of more space and a relaxing bathtub.

In the evenings, relax in the atmospheric wood-panelled bar and sumptuous scarlet dining room. There is also a cosy living area and the peace of mind in 24-hour butler service
