Ceylon Tea Trails

Resplendent Ceylon (Relais & Châteaux) · Tea-planter bungalow estate · Bogawantalawa Valley, around Castlereagh Lake, Hatton (Hill Country)

The world's first tea-bungalow resort: five restored colonial planters' residences and a private cottage scattered across 2,000 acres of working Dilmah tea estate at 1,250m, bordering the Central Highlands World Heritage area. Each bungalow runs as a private house with its own butler, chef and houseboys, all-inclusive of meals, drinks, afternoon tea and most experiences.

Why we recommend it

The definitive Hill Country stay — a working tea estate run as a string of private country houses, and one of only two Relais & Châteaux properties on the island.
