Tea Trails
Colonial character on the valley

Amid Sri Lanka's “tea country”, formerly known Ceylon and the hub of colonial activity, this fashionable retreat for the tea-planters of the time is now home to the Ceylon Tea Trails Resort. Comprising five colonial-era bungalows – including the newly opened Dunkeld – built between the late 1800s and the 1950s, are dotted throughout the valleys and hillside, each divided out into characterful rooms and suites and laying claim to its own garden dining, pools, sporting facilities and myriad features to make a multi-stop tour through the trail worthwhile.
