Nine Skies, a stone’s throw from the upcountry hippy hangout of Ella, has burst on the already established Sri Lankan boutique hotel scene with vigour. It’s the latest sensational creation from Teardrop Hotels (think of Fort Bazaar and The Wallawwa for a sense of its pedigree). From the outside, it’s a meticulously restored plantation manager’s bungalow on a lofty tea estate. From the inside, it’s an envelope of contemporary perfection.
Perched high on a hillside above the Finlay tea estate, Nine Skies, named after the famous colonial era railway bridge, has commanding views over the Demodara valley. The house is surrounded by lovingly tended gardens, mature trees and a heavenly swimming pool ideal for gently working off the tiredness from one of the many specular hikes on your doorstep.
The Ella Rock suite is the best room in the house and has exceptional views out over the surrounding landscapes.
Mini Adam’s Peak is almost on the doorstep. Its takes about 2 hours to hike up to the summit where you’ll be rewarded stunning views and an enormous sense of achievement.
