The Bandarawela Hotel, Bandarawela

The Bandarawela Hotel, Bandarawela

This unique heritage hotel is set in a Planters Clubhouse. The rambling wooden structure has its own particular charm (and bags of character) with polished wooden floors, colonial furniture and old metal bedsteads. It is very much a step back in time to a more genteel age with lots of mementoes and photos. The hotel is very close to the town of Bandarawela so you can easily walk in to see this authentic Sri Lankan town.
The People of Sri Lanka

The People of Sri Lanka

The native people of a country can make or break a holiday, as talking to the locals, visiting villages and markets, walking the locals walk and talking the locals talk, is very much part of an interactive holiday.
Sri Lanka is one of the friendliest nations in the world. The laid-back lifestyle of the locals, their willingness to help and the smiles on their faces will make your holiday unforgettable and memorable.
The Sri Lankans have so much time to spare and they can afford to stop and talk to strangers and welcome them to their land. They are such a gentle and courteous bunch of people.
Having over 35 Public Holidays a year helps the people to live a very relaxed life. The influence of Buddhism has turned the people of this Island into calm, generous and helpful people.
The traditions too, encourage the locals to receive and accommodate their guests. As a result, you will experience hospitality at its best in this country.

Melheim Resort, Haputale

Melheim Resort, Haputale

This modern hotel was built in 2010 in the hills with breath-taking views to the Southern Plains. The 7 acre gardens of the hotel are terraced, so the deluxe rooms, which are above the standard rooms, have slightly better views. The pool has great views out over the jungle.
The hotel is conveniently situated for your journey out of the mountains and especially if you were doing a train ride ending up at Haputale.
