At Ceylon Tea Trails, we’re filled with immense pride and excitement as we share some truly incredible news. We’ve officially been ranked as the No.1 resort in the prestigious Rest of Asia category by the 2024 Condé Nast Traveller Readers’ Choice Awards. After five years of consistent recognition, this year we’ve claimed the top spot, and we couldn’t be more thrilled to celebrate this milestone with you.

As one of our Relais & Châteaux properties, Ceylon Tea Trails has long been synonymous with the serene beauty of tea country and the unparalleled luxury of Sri Lankan hospitality. Our journey to the top has been marked by the tireless dedication of our team, the charm of our unique heritage bungalows, and the authentic experiences we’ve curated for guests from all over the world. This recognition reflects the passion we pour into every detail—from the moment guests arrive in Hatton to the soothing stillness of a private cup of Pure Ceylon Tea overlooking the misty highlands.

This accolade comes as a testament to the love and support of our guests who have voted for us year after year, and we’re beyond grateful. To be recognised as the best among such prestigious resorts in the world is a true honour and speaks to the lasting impression our team and location create in the hearts of visitors. For many, the allure of our location, nestled between the lush hills and shimmering Castlereagh Lake, has long provided a sanctuary from the hustle and bustle of the world, offering not just a vacation but a journey of the senses.

But it’s not just us celebrating! We’re equally delighted that Sri Lanka itself has earned recognition in the Best Islands in Asia category, reaffirming the country’s status as a top global destination. From the rolling tea estates of Ceylon Tea Trails to the azure coasts, Sri Lanka continues to captivate travellers seeking a blend of adventure, culture, and relaxation.

As we revel in this exciting news, we invite you to join us in a celebration—perhaps with a perfect cup of Pure Ceylon Tea in hand. Our success story is only possible because of our guests, and we look forward to welcoming you back to experience why Ceylon Tea Trails is truly the best. Whether you’re exploring our trails, indulging in a luxurious tea-infused spa treatment, or simply soaking in the breathtaking vistas from your bungalow’s veranda, we promise that every moment at Tea Trails will be unforgettable.

Here’s to many more years of curating meaningful journeys. Thank you for being part of ours.
