Staying at Bluechip Summer Bungalow was absolutely magical. The location, right in the middle of a tea plantation, and the beautiful British-style house surrounded by gardens make you feel part of Nuwara Eliya’s history. Our room was huge, with the most comfortable bed we had during our trip in Sri Lanka. The staff was extremely attentive and professional and the food was simply outstanding.They even arranged a walk for us to Lovers Leap waterfall, which is easily accessible from the hotel and was a perfect experience. A truly authentic stay in “Little England”. Highly recommended for anyone looking for charm, comfort, and a genuine atmosphere.

    We didn't have the best weather when visiting Nuwara Eliya.

    We didn't have the best weather when visiting Nuwara Eliya. Our tuktuk had to withstand some nasty rain. Other than that it was lovely to see different tea plantations and waterfalls. We visited Victory Park (Rs. 1000) which was beautiful. Visiting the Gregory lake would be at a higher cost. We didn't do it because it was a bit too cloudy. Some nice street markets closer to the bus station.

    Nuwara Eliya’s weather is quite different from most of Sri...

    Nuwara Eliya’s weather is quite different from most of Sri Lanka due to its high elevation. Unlike the tropical heat in the lowlands, it has a cool, misty, and unpredictable climate. Temperatures can drop below 10°C at night, and rain showers are common even during sunny days. Before traveling, it’s best to: Check the weather forecast for rain, fog, or sudden temperature drops. Pack warm clothing, as evenings and mornings can be chilly. Carry an umbrella or light raincoat, since showers are frequent. Plan outdoor activities (like visiting tea estates, Horton Plains, or Gregory Lake) for clearer parts of the day. “We visited on rainy days, which made it impossible to see the main attractions, as most of the time it was foggy.”

    If you want to experience the coldest weather in Sri Lanka,...

    If you want to experience the coldest weather in Sri Lanka, Nuwara Eliya is the place to be. Often called “Little England” due to its colonial charm, this hill town offers beautiful scenery and plenty of attractions. Gregory Lake is a highlight, perfect for a relaxing walk or a boat ride. Having your own transport (ideally a 4x4) makes it easier to explore the surrounding hills and hidden routes. The town also has great spots to eat, drink, and enjoy warm hospitality. Don’t miss a visit to one of the colonial hotels that once hosted many famous figures, including Queen Elizabeth II in 1954. A must-visit destination in the heart of Sri Lanka’s hills!

    Great place to cool down in the highlands.

    Great place to cool down in the highlands. We actually use blankets, coats and hot showers in June, which was a very welcomed change to the scorching hot cultural triangle and beaches. The town is very close (5km) from one of the ends of the very underrated Pekoe Trail, a 300 km, 22 stages long distance hiking trail, that is very interesting to see not only the tea plantations but the life it rural communities. Also very interesting is to observe the many small, commercial vegetables gardens that are scattered all over town. The town is 1800 mts above the sea level, and in June, their monsoon season, was rainy. Everything was incredibly lush and green, and the temperature very pleasant.

    Luxury hotel in Nuwara Eliya. Pool is beautiful and warm, great to relax and wind down. Transport is offered by golf cart around the grounds which is convenient. Skybar for cocktails before dinner then buffet or Al cart options for dinner. We were quite impressed after coming back from the buffet dinner (which was spectacular) to our room having a turn down service including our fireplace on, sheets pulled back and lamps on.

    The hotel has a nice ambiance and smells great. There was a christmas theme which was quite fun in the more cold climate and British architecture of Nuwara Eliyah. Our welcome (coffee with cake), the breakfast and dinner were all great. The staff was very friendly and helpful. They even made it possible for my boyfriend to watch football on the tv in our room. Would recommend!
