The acclaimed Ceylon Tea Trails bungalows have endured as Sri Lanka’s best travel accommodation. These five colonial tea planter’s bungalows are scattered around Dickoya in the hills near Hatton, each boasting original period architecture and caringly restored interiors but also an individual character. Bungalow locations range from private forest settings to the glorious Castlereagh Lake.

Guests want for nothing at each Tea Trails bungalow. Feast on three delicious meals each day, as well as afternoon tea with a view. Visit a nearby tea estate to learn about the history of tea in Sri Lanka, or go hiking and biking through the plantations. Relax by the pool, on the croquet lawn, or with a variety of indoor games in the lounge. A personal butler is on hand to assist you during your stay.

Rooms are sumptuous with grand four-poster beds and luxurious ensuite bathrooms.
