Camellia Hills

Sit atop Sri Lanka’s western hill country and take in the unmatched panoramic splendor of emerald tea bushes at Camellia Hills. The hotel prides itself as a member of the prestigious Sri Lankan Collection, representing the country’s finest hotels.

The property itself is a contemporary bungalow built in consideration of how a tea planter might live today. With only five exclusive rooms - three Lakeview Bedrooms and two Camellia Bedrooms -guests can really soak up the intimate and romantic atmosphere. Each room offers traditional local touches with walnut wood floors, sleek teak furniture, and four-poster beds.

Butlers attend to guests, serving home-cooked meals and drinks and snacks. There’s also a 10-meter infinity pool set amidst lush gardens, a picturesque dining area, and a lounge with an open fireplace.

On-site activities include guided tea estate walks, village and tea factory visits, nature trails, and a visit to a leopard research station.
