Ceylon Tea Trails
Share
Sri Lanka’s only three-Michelin-Key property. Nature is the muse here, rightly taking centre stage – but the bungalows are steeped in history, too.
Five planters’ tea bungalows set within a working tea estate, united by peerless service, gourmet cuisine and enchanting views of Sri Lanka’s tea country. Fall under the quiet spell of Ceylon Tea Trails, whose five historic, tea-planter bungalows are enveloped in the emerald landscapes of Sri Lanka’s cinematic tea country. Perched more than 1,000 metres above sea level, with uninterrupted views of
A working tea estate. A bungalow where every corner has been thought about twice. Gardens that make you stand still.
A stay at Norwood Bungalow is a feeling you'll spend a long time trying to put into words.

A planter's bungalow surrounded by centuries of estate life.
At Norwood, it's unhurried, unchanged, unforgettable.
The estate breathes differently in the emerald season. It settles.
The emerald season drapes Ceylon's hill country in low cloud and living green. The bungalows warm from within. The pluckers move through the rows at dawn, baskets catching the mist. The valley below disappears into cloud, then reappears.
Time moves differently at this altitude. Sri Lanka, Always in Season.
On World Tea Day, a message from a true legend of the industry, our Resident Tea Planter, Bernard Holsinger.
With 60 years of passion, knowledge, and dedication behind him, Bernard reminds us of what truly makes great tea possible: the extraordinary people behind every leaf. From the fields to the factory to the final pack, this day is for people who make every cup possible.
Find your secret spot, chase a sunbeam across the gardens, or let the lake’s calm hold you in quiet wonder. Our estate invites curiosity and calm in equal measure.

The estate wakes slowly to mist, morning light, and the rhythm of hands at work. Emerald mornings drift from tea fields to quiet verandahs, from lake waters to unhurried moments beneath the hills.
Deeper greens, softer light, and a slower rhythm settle across the estate this Emerald Season at Ceylon Tea Trails.

Shades of Emerald at Ceylon Tea Trails, welcoming the Emerald Season.
Mornings over misted hills, afternoons on the trails, and evenings shaped around tea, firelight, and unhurried time.
Emerald Season is where landscapes deepen in colour and travel takes on a quieter, more intimate pace.

On the estate, mornings aren’t scheduled, they’re set in motion. From the first light over the slopes to the last cup set down at dusk.
