Camellia Hills near Dickoya, a newly-built five-bedroom boutique hotel in Sri Lanka's emerald tea country, joins The Sri Lanka Collection from today. This high-end boutique hotel in Sri Lanka is managed by Teardrop Hotels, and is a sister property to award-winning hotels The Wallawwa and Fort Bazaar, and recently launched Kumu Beach.

Camellia Hills is located near Dickoya and Hatton, in the south western hill country. Spectacularly located high up on the side of a verdant valley overlooking Castlereagh Reservoir, and surrounded by emerald green tea estates, the hotel's ample gardens, living and dining areas and five individually designed guest rooms all share in stunning panoramas. This is a contemporary interpretation of a tea bungalow-style hotel, offering high-end personalised butler service, exceptional food and all-inclusive rates (includes three meals, snacks, high tea and drinks).

“We are delighted that Teardrop's new tea country hotel Camellia Hills is joining The Sri Lanka Collection and we very much look forward to introducing our tour operator partners to this outstanding new boutique property over the coming months,” commented Eleanor Milner, Director of The Sri Lanka Collection.

Guests can take their pick from a number of experiences at the hotel including picturesque guided tea estate walks, village and tea factory visits and nature trails. Leopards live in the surroundings and guests could visit a leopard research station to learn more about these elusive cats and see the photographs generated by their camera traps.
