Camellia Hills, Tea & Hill Country, Sri Lanka, Indian Ocean

Sleep

With just five beautifully appointed bedrooms, Camellia Hills is an intimate and wonderfully peaceful retreat, idyllically positioned for those looking to escape into the serene beauty of Sri Lanka’s hill country. Surrounded by lush scenery and overlooking the tranquil waters of Castlereagh Reservoir, the hotel offers a wonderfully private and unhurried experience, where the landscape is very much part of the stay.

The three Lakeview Bedrooms make the most of the spectacular setting, each enjoying panoramic views across the lake and surrounding hills. Large windows draw the scenery inside, while the elegant, comfortable interiors provide a cosy haven to retreat to after a day exploring the tea country. Waking to misty mountain views and watching the changing light settle over the water is all part of the magic.

For families or groups travelling together, the Dickoya Suite offers additional space and privacy, making it an especially comfortable choice for a longer stay. Alternatively, combining the Lakeview and Camellia Bedrooms creates a wonderfully flexible arrangement for families, allowing everyone to enjoy the intimacy of the house while having their own private space.

With its tiny scale, spectacular setting and relaxed atmosphere, Camellia Hills feels more like a beautiful private country house than a traditional hotel. Days here are wonderfully slow-paced you will take in the views, explore the surrounding tea country, or simply settle into the peaceful rhythm of this enchanting corner of Sri Lanka.
