We had a warm welcome with tea/coffee offered upon arrival. During the stay the host was very approachable for any questions we had. It’s conveniently located and walking distance to the entrance of Adams Peak. Nice breakfast is served, and there are plenty of shops and restaurants in the neighbourhood. Thank you for the great hospitality!

The hotel is in the middle of the tea plantation with an incredible view. The staff is super kind and always available for any requests. The amenities are gorgeous and refined in all details, surrounded by a very well maintained garden. Dinner available (but you need to reserve) and breakfast was excellent. There’s also a lovely swing for instagram photos :) Would love to return!

Staying at The Westbury Palace in Nuwara Eliya was nothing short of magical. From the moment you arrive, you are transported back to 1800s England, with the historic charm of the castle exteriors complemented by its absolutely stunning interiors. Every detail inside the palace exudes elegance and refinement, making you feel like true royalty. The breathtaking views surrounding the hotel are matched only by the outstanding service. The staff go above and beyond to ensure your stay is perfect, and I’d like to extend a heartfelt thanks to Jamiulansar and Yaso, whose exceptional attention and kindness truly made our visit unforgettable. If you’re looking for a unique and luxurious experience, The Westbury Palace is a must-visit. It’s more than a hotel—it’s a journey through time, wrapped in comfort and beauty.

This was an amazing experience. The staff was extremely helpful and kind, we felt at home immediately. Upon arrival we got a free upgrade to an amazing room and complementary dinners for the duration of our stay. The complex looked brand new and was well kept with great facilities and a lot of things to do. Breakfast, dinner and drinks were top notch and served with a smile. The SPA treatment was a joy and helped us feel reborn. This is by far the best experience I have ever had. If you are in Sri Lanka, make sure you stop by Argyle!

Every aspect of this boutique, modern eco lodge was AMAZING! We stayed for a couple of days after Christmas and loved the festive feel, fire pits, and beautiful sunrise and sunsets. The buildings blend in with the landscape and interiors are stunning - recommend staying in Chalet Neru. The food was delicious and higher end and the fruit / veg grown onsite. Our kids loved the farm tour and homemade ice cream and jams. All staff were super friendly, professional and seemed genuinely happy to work there. Kitchen was accommodating with my allergy restrictions. I’d been concerned about insects before we arrived however only spotted a couple of stick insects outdoors during our trip. Everyone in our family wished we could have stayed at the property for at least one more night.

Langdale is a wonderful small Boutique Style Hotel with old world charme. The staff is very attentive and charming. The location is close to the train station Nanu Oya in the middle of tea plantations with stunning views and scenery. Loved our early morning walk through the teaplantation, the temperatures here are very pleasant and we felt like some exercise after some long travel days. We only spend on night to brake the train ride from Ella to Kandy which we thought was perfect. We could have easily stayed a little longer and just enjoyed this peaceful place. Beds were very comfortable and the whole hotel is spotless and perfectly maintained. We had dinner in the hotel, I personally preferred the local choices on the menu to the western style.

A beautiful stay in every sense! The design is refined and full of old-world charm — from the furniture to the photographs that tell its story. The high tea with live music is simply amazing, and breakfast was equally impressive — especially the hopper. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive — Haroon from reception even got my favourite straw hat repaired and ironed within a couple of hours, bringing it back from complete ruin! I also enjoyed the well-equipped gym with great tips from the personal trainer, an outstanding full body massage, and a lovely selection of reasonably priced jewellery at the hotel shop. Truly exceptional service and attention to detail. Highly recommended.

Worth every penny, heritage building is spiced up with modern comfort, even simply staying within the hotel compound counts as sightseeing. Service easily meets international 5-star standards, and the surrounding flower and tea gardens, mighty firs, and hills bathing in clouds will make you feel disconnected from the current world reality. On the other hand, if you need to connect, their wifi works great.

There is absolutely nothing there to do except climbing the peak. No shops, just stalls that sells sweets etc. One night stay is enough. Make 100% sure you are fit enough to climb the peak. It is worthwhile, but start climbing before 03h00 to see the sunrise. Spectacular views. And avoid weekends and poja days.

Nestled deep in the heart of Sri Lanka’s central highlands,...

Nestled deep in the heart of Sri Lanka’s central highlands, Maskeliya is a place that feels like it was painted by nature itself. From the moment you begin your journey toward this hill country gem, the landscape begins to shift—lush greenery unfolds across rolling hills, mist dances over tea plantations, and the air grows cooler, fresher, more alive. Maskeliya isn’t just beautiful—it’s breathtaking. The views are beyond imagination. Wherever you turn, there’s something to marvel at: towering peaks wrapped in clouds, shimmering lakes nestled between valleys, and winding roads that seem to disappear into the horizon. It’s the kind of scenery that makes you pause, take a deep breath, and feel grateful just to witness it. And then there’s the weather. Perfect doesn’t even begin to describe it. The mornings are crisp and golden, with sunlight gently warming the hills. By midday, the breeze picks up, carrying the scent of wildflowers and fresh earth. Evenings are cool and serene, ideal for sipping a hot cup of Ceylon tea while watching the sky turn shades of lavender and rose. Whether you’re hiking toward Adam’s Peak, exploring the quiet charm of local villages, or simply sitting by a window and soaking in the view, Maskeliya offers something rare: a sense of peace, wonder, and connection to the natural world. It’s not just a destination—it’s an experience that stays with you long after you’ve left.

Rustic, steeped in history, friendly, fascinating. We stayed one night which was perfect. This is a working village, agriculture, farming and TEA. The tour of the tea plantation, small boutique factory for processing an subsequent tasting is not to be missed. Forget the large FACTORY Tea tours... This is personal and ORGANIC... with great Tea. Meena is the smiliest busiest person we have met. We arrived at Ambewela Train station. Could be good to ask for transport in advance... WE still managed to grab a Tuk Tuk with some help. The road down to Warwick Gardens is steep!

If you are into budget travel and want a genuine local experience, NanuOya is a good town to visit. It’s very close to the main tourist town Nuwara Eliya (approx 9km away) and has buses heading there every 20mins. You can also get there by train. The locals are very helpful and kind. You get a few places to eat food like South Indian dishes and koththu and a few places to buy liquor from. There are two waterfalls and the larger, wider one located inside the Glassough tea estate is a place where you can bathe in on a sunny day. It’s a lovely little town surrounded by tea estates!

Scenic tea plantations aplenty.

Scenic tea plantations aplenty. We visited Labookellie Tea Factory to understand tea production a bit more. Also visit a small strawberry farm which do not offer plucking so bigger outfit would be a better experience. NE was our rest stop for Horton Plains but Ohiya is a shorter ride there. Plus the road up from Ohiya side is a lot less bumpy and U zip through giant pine forests, a more beautiful experience from going via Pattipola entrance.

Besides doing the incredibly beautiful hike to Adams Peak, you can hire a tuktuk driver to guide you to Morey's Waterfall. the best waterfall we got to hike to in Sri lanka, challenging 1 hour hike but you'll get to stroll thru lush tea plantations and walk along side Lake Morey.
