Remote, wonderfully atmospheric, usually with misty mornings and cool evenings.
Ceylon Tea Trails is located close to Hatton and Nuwara Eliya, in the heart of planter country. This area is regarded as the most scenic. Remote, wonderfully atmospheric, usually with misty mornings and cool evenings. Here you are located 1250m above sea level. A real Sri Lanka top of the range experience, with colonial heritage boutique accommodation, incredible scenery and a real sense of style and occasion.
Ceylon Tea Trails accommodation is split into 4 colonial style bungalows, each with 4 to 6 individual bedrooms.
Here the arrangements include breakfast, lunch and dinner with of course afternoon tea, and wine and beer served with dinner. The bungalows are spread over the extensive estate, some 30 minutes apart. Each takes its name from a former tea planter occupant, Casteragh, Norwood, Summerville and Tientsin.
Trekking
Cycling
River rafting as well as the rather more refined tea tasting and just observing life on a working tea estate.
Swimming pool
Tennis court
And of course, a croquet lawn
Ceylon Tea Trails is a truly unique experience.
We would suggest a stay of at least 3 nights, but many clients do stay longer. As each bungalow cluster has a different ambience and setting, many clients follow the trail of the tea planter with a night or two in different locations. You can drive from Colombo or Kandy easily, but for something different we suggest the slow-moving scenic rail journey from Kandy as it twists its way up into the mountains. Remember here at night it will be cool, that log fire is not just for decoration, so a warm jumper/wrap will be essential.

David Revisits Thailand 2022
I last visited Thailand in December 2021. At the time travel was limited and you had to take a test before and on arrival. This time it was much more open. I arrived in Phuket, showed my Thailand pass and vaccination certificates, and collected my case – all within 45 minutes.
Travel is Back – But Keep Your Expectations Realistic
Confidence to travel again has certainly returned as Covid cases around the world continue to drop. Virtually every country (or at least those Chic Locations feature) has relaxed its entry protocols and whilst there are still a few in-destination regulations these are...

Absence Makes the Heart Grow Even Fonder. David Revisits Thailand – Yet Again.I was fortunate to have had the opportunity to revisit Thailand in early December. The last time was in autumn 2019. I have missed it madly and badly. I first visited Thailand in 1976 – yes...
Passport Renewal – Don’t Get Caught Out
Even though the passport office say they can cope with demand at the moment, I have still been told to expect at least 4 /6 weeks for a new passport to arrive. As travel demand increases the longer it will take unless you want to pay extra for fast track…
Maldives – Welcome Back
The UK Government, both the Home office and the Foreign and Commonwealth office, have now approved travel to the Maldives. This is fantastic news and comes at exactly the right time for winter escapism.

Phuket Sandbox Promotion
Although the Sandbox scheme has improved week on week since its introduction in early July, and most of the southern resorts have a high vaccination rate and low cases, the UK Government has chosen to look at the entire country and made it all on the UK Red traffic light NO GO area.

COVID-19 - Updated Information – March 2023.
Virtually all countries worldwide have relaxed their protocols on Covid and there are very few restrictions. However, most countries review this on a month-by-month basis and will take immediate action should cases return or increase.
As a general statement, we would say travel is back to about 90% of its 2019 pre-covid levels – although with maybe less staff than before. This can particularly apply to airports with check-in teams and baggage handlers, and also in hotels. If you are a long-time repeat visitor to a specific hotel it is quite possible you might know your way around the property better than the newly appointed staff – smile and maybe even try to assist!

All price guides are Per Person Sharing Double Room (Entry level), based on travel between May and/or June when prices are generally at their lowest and include promotional offers. Supplements will probably apply at other times, particularly mid-summer in the Med, and for rooms and/or transfers arranged for single travellers.
For example, the Caribbean and Indian Ocean prices for winter can be approximately double the May - June level and about 50% more in Asia. For the Mediterranean & Canary Islands, Caribbean, Arabia and the Indian Ocean (except Sri Lanka) price guides generally include airfare and transfers.
*For Sri Lanka and Far East we show a per person per night hotel guide, excluding air fare, as arrangements tend to be individually tailored multi-centre itineraries.
