Close by to Castlereagh Lake and Hatton in Sri Lanka's Hill Country, this specific verdant and histric tea growing area spans 2000 hectars and within this sits each bunglow, that are between 4km and 15km apart. Walking and biking trails connect them. Each Tea Trails bunglow is in an exceptional plot, has been painstakingly restored, with only 5 or 6 bedrooms in each. They all largely follow the same concept with a few differences such as view and detailed design.
Due to their popularity it's not always possible to choose your specific bunglow at the time of booking (we will do our best), but fear not as they are all beautifully revined, are all all-inclusive and consistently receive exceptional feedback. Summerville Bungalow specifically overlooks Castlereagh Lake is a very pretty and sensitively restored bungalow. Some suites open to private gardens. One of five bungalows in the Tea Trails collection, this small group of seriously special bungalows in the hill country has become synonomous with luxury and heritage in Sri Lanka.
What we love
- Tea Trails offers seriously sumptious interiors, that blend past and present
- Each bungalow has a pool We love the option to visit a tea factory
- They are all-inclusive
- Relais and Chateaux means the food is fantastic, with long luxurious meals, high tea, and even tea in bed
- We love the experiences; go trekking, kayaking on Castlereagh, tea tasting and even enjoy a private picnic
Tea Trails is synonomous with luxury so it comes at a cost. However, all meals are included
It books up quickly
The bungalows are fairly remote so it's either a long drive or a train ride to get there, but that's all part of the fun
They sit at quite a high altitude, so it can get cool. Just remember to pack a jumper.
Families are very welcome at Tea Trails. There's a 'Junior Chef' experience, kayaking as well as cycling.
Tea Trails believe that human welfare and the environment are inextricably and critically intertwined, they therefore established Dilmah Conservation in 2007.
Tea Trails Summerville is not far from Hatton and enjoys lake and plantation views.
