NINE SKIES, HILL COUNTRY

NINE SKIES

AN ELEGANT FIVE-BEDROOM BUNGALOW

How better to experience the rich natural beauty of Sri Lanka’s Hill Country than from the comfort of this tastefully refurbished colonial bungalow.

Framed by tea fields, Nine Skies sits atop a hill in Demodera just on the outskirts of the small town of Ella. The property itself, an elegant five-bedroom bungalow, dates back to the colonial era but has been lovingly updated to include all the modern amenities and comforts you’d expect. These are combined with an exceptional butler service, gourmet dining and swimming pool with lovely views across the tea-carpeted valley and famous Demodara railway line.

HILL COUNTRY, SRI LANKA

A RELAXING HAVEN

The timber-floored guestrooms are wonderfully atmospheric with their canopied, four-poster king beds, pretty French windows and garden terraces. A relaxing haven when not exploring the treasures beyond. Gourmet meals are served indoors or out on the garden veranda, whilst afternoon tea can be taken in the cosy sitting room. As well as many scenic walks in the surrounding area, Nine Skies is the perfect base for visiting the iconic Nine Arches Bridge, touring nearby tea estates and hiking to the top of mini Adam’s Peak. You can even see the tea-production process at a local tea factory.
