Welcome to Thotalagala, a remarkable feat of restoration.A planter’s bungalow that has been revived to its former glory, featuring seven themed suites inspired by personalities who shaped the history of the Uva province, one of Sri Lanka’s foremost tea-growing regions and arguably the finest tea-growing region in the world.

Surrounded by 20 acres of lawn and patana grass, Thotalagala offers sweeping vistas that greet the eye from the edge of the lawn. Behind the bungalow, covering the Haputale hills, lies a 4000-hectare tea plantation stretching up to Lipton’s Seat, 1500 feet above, and extending over onto the Bandarawela side of the mountain.
