Introduction

Ceylon Tea Trails has achieved the distinction of being the first resort in Sri Lanka to join Relais & Châteaux and has also been featured on The Conde Nast 2023 Gold List. Comprising five distinct bungalows—Summerville, Dunkeld, Castlereagh, Norwood, and Tientsin—each with its own unique character and history, elegantly nestled amidst the emerald valleys of Sri Lanka’s tea country. Each offers breathtaking mountain and tea estate views, creating a serene and picturesque setting for guests. The bungalows, dating back to the early 20th century, have been meticulously refurbished to retain their original charm while incorporating contemporary luxuries.

 

Immerse in the lush, fern-fringed landscape, where gourmet cuisine, tea adventures, sparkling swimming pools, and timeless classic activities await, from afternoon tea to tennis and croquet. The cuisine at the property is a blend of traditional Sri Lankan dishes and international favourites, paired with fine wines and, of course, premium Ceylon tea. Tennis enthusiasts will enjoy the secluded clay tennis court at Tientsin, a nod to the days when British planters would unwind with an afternoon match. Tientsin, Dunkeld, and Norwood also include a billiards room.

 

Ceylon Tea Trails is committed to sustainable and responsible tourism practices. Efforts are made to minimize the ecological footprint through waste management, energy conservation, and promoting local biodiversity.
