We adore Ceylon Tea Trails. There’s no getting away from it. In fact, on every visit to Sri Lanka, we have to go back to remind ourselves exactly how perfect Ceylon Tea Trails is. Five plantations houses spread across the Bogawantalawa valley in Tea Country, accessed by narrow single track roads, have been converted into a first-class hotel accommodation. In fact, it’s Sri Lanka’s only Relais & Chateaux property. The concept is simple in its perfection: elegant colonial charm combined with modern luxuries.
Each Ceylon Tea Trails bungalow is unique, both architecturally and in its position. Each is decorated in a unique style, ranging from neo-colonial to classic English.But they are all unified by exceptional service, exquisite food and views to die for.
One of the best experiences is walking through the tea plantations between the bungalows. Plan it the day before and you can arrange to have lunch on arrival at your destination house, followed by a lazy swim and then a car transfer back home.
The tea factory tour starts around 9am so could be an earlyish start to get to the Dunkeld factory. It is without doubt the best tea experience we’ve had.
