Madulkelle Tea & Eco Lodge

Set on a working tea plantation in the hill country above Kandy, this boutique eco lodge lets you sleep in safari-style tents or solid-walled rooms, all of them open to the mountain breeze. The kitchen draws from its own garden, an English-style bar runs late, and spa treatments happen in thatched pavilions with a stream doing its part in the background. Guided tea-making tours are available, in case the scenery alone feels too passive.
