Nuwara Eliya, an old colonial city called also "Little England", is a charming place where tea making know how plays an important role in local lives. Nuwara Eliya is in the middle of mountains where you will lost 10 degres. It has nothing to compare with the rest of Sri Lanka. Nuwara Eliya really has this Birtish atmosphere with cottages, tea, golf courses, botanical garden and colonial houses. If you are looking for more classic hotels, you will find easily bigger properties such as Heritance Tea Factory. Most of the hotels are a bit expensive and sometimes quite old fashion. The challenge was to find a typical british house to immerse ourselves in Nuwara Eliya atmosphere, but with luxury, confort, modernity and elegance (while avoiding old-fashioned and outmoded decoration with little pink flowers!) We found the perfect cozy place at Luxe Wilderness....
Luxe Wilderness, on the heights of Nuwara Eliya, is 10 minutes drive in tuk tuk from the city center. The house has this so british style we were looking for. The house is made of 3 appartments. One man is living there to welcome you at your time of arrival, he will be waiting for you in front of your door. This young man is very helpful and very reactive in case you need anything.
The appartement features two floors : the living room with an american kitchen on the lower level, and a double bedroom with bathroom on the upper floor. Decoration is elegant with a certain english taste but not an old-fashioned one. Quality of materials and furnitures is very nice. The young man will ask you if you want to have English or Sri Lanka style breakfast and will deliver everything in your fridge so you can prepare it yourself in the morning. Breakfast is quite generous and you will have for once a home made breakfast, which is quite appreciable, especially when you travel from hotels to hotels. You can also cook at night or order pizzas if you are tired from your day, that can be quite cold or ranny in Nuwara Eliya ! Thanks to numerus windows, the living room baths in light.
On the upper floor, you will find a double bedroom that can perfectly suit for a family. In case you want to rest a bit in the evening which is quite cold, you have three options :
- order videos and watch it from your bed. There is a list of movies and cartoons you can select.
- relax and have a bath in the beautiful bathroom that offers a view on Nuwara Eliya mountains. The feeling of having a hot bath after a day in a wet and cold atmosphere is so delicious. It is like being for one day in Winter whereas you are in a hot asian country !
- Enjoy the beautiful view from your balcony
