Best hotels in Haputale

Living Heritage Koslanda is a celebration of all things Sri Lanka: culture, architecture, food and hospitality. Placed high in the hills of Haputale and surrounded by thick, misty forests (home to migrating elephants no less), this is a hotel to awaken the senses and relax into your surroundings. With views as far as the eye can see, a pool that takes it all in, six romantic bedrooms, a sprinkling of hiking trails and even secluded natural pools and waterfalls to swim in, it sounds like a dream - and it really is.

Any avid tea drinker will know the name Lipton, and Thotalagala happens to be neighbours with one of the few estates planted by the man himself. The house is a handsome, monochrome affair with high, panelled ceilings that give it a bright and relaxed atmosphere. The views of misty green hills are astonishing (and they stretch all the way to the famous Lipton's Seat), and are best enjoyed over elegant afternoon tea on the lawn or during dips in the infinity pool as the resident monkeys watch curiously. Thotalgala quickly draws you in with is familial feel and soothing air... What's not to love?
