Camellia Hills

Sit atop Sri Lanka’s western hill country and take in the unmatched panoramic splendour of emerald tea bushes at Camellia Hills. This thoughtfully designed contemporary bungalow reimagines how a modern tea planter might live, with just five exclusive rooms that create an intimate, romantic atmosphere. Interiors blend heritage and comfort, featuring walnut wood floors, teak furnishings, and four-poster beds. Attentive butlers look after guests and can enjoy a 10-metre infinity pool, scenic dining, and a cosy lounge with an open fireplace. This exceptional property is an idyllic choice for those on a luxury holiday to Sri Lanka.

Accommodation

Each of the five bedrooms at Camellia Hills has been meticulously designed to offer sweeping views of the Castlereagh Valley. All rooms feature four-poster beds, wardrobes, writing desks, armchairs, and en-suite bathrooms. Most include private verandas that overlook the Castlereagh Reservoir or the vast tea hills, with some premium suites also offering bathtubs.

Food & Drink

All meals can be enjoyed on the property's breezy terrace, which offers an à la carte breakfast, lunch, and dinner menu featuring international and local flavours. Guests can savour coffees, teas, and aperitifs in the lounge next to the crackling fireplace or throughout the grounds during the day.

Activities

Nothing is greater than chasing your tea dream when you reside high above in Sri Lanka’s western hill country. Guests can enjoy various tea-related activities, from exploring tea estates to learning about tea production at a local tea factory. Beyond Sri Lankan tea trails, you can work your fitness by climbing Adam’s Peak, or immerse yourself in local culture at a local Hindu kovil.

Children

Children are allowed, although activities and facilities are more suitable for grown-ups.
