Ceylon Tea Trails is set across five restored Edwardian tea planter bungalows in the Hatton highlands of Sri Lanka’s hill country. Surrounded by working tea estates and overlooking Castlereagh Lake, the property delivers a private bungalow experience with dedicated butler service. Each bungalow has between four and six suites, making it ideal for exclusive use or individual suite bookings. The climate is cooler than the coast and mornings are often mist covered, especially between December and April. The first class train journey to Ella departs from nearby Hatton station, making this a strategic stop for travellers combining tea country with the scenic rail route. Ceylon Tea Trails is part of the Resplendent Ceylon portfolio and a member of Relais and Chateaux. LocalHi includes this property in Sri Lanka luxury itineraries because hill country stays require correct positioning between coastal travel and inland journeys.
