Staying at The Westbury Palace in Nuwara Eliya was nothing short of magical. From the moment you arrive, you are transported back to 1800s England, with the historic charm of the castle exteriors complemented by its absolutely stunning interiors. Every detail inside the palace exudes elegance and refinement, making you feel like true royalty. The breathtaking views surrounding the hotel are matched only by the outstanding service. The staff go above and beyond to ensure your stay is perfect, and I’d like to extend a heartfelt thanks to Jamiulansar and Yaso, whose exceptional attention and kindness truly made our visit unforgettable. If you’re looking for a unique and luxurious experience, The Westbury Palace is a must-visit. It’s more than a hotel—it’s a journey through time, wrapped in comfort and beauty.

The people hosting the guest house were definitely my highlight. Roshan, his wife and daughter were so friendly and helpful and always had a smile on their face! Roshan even dropped me at the railway station on the last day, which was super nice! The breakfast was very delicious and enough. The beds were super comfortable and the room very spacious. There is a shortcut to get into the city that‘s why the location of the guest house is also fine. Would definitely come back next time!

What I liked most of Nuwara Eliya was naturally the cool climate. Unfortunately I had to cut short our stay by one night due to an emergency. I look forward to spending a bit more time and enjoying Nuwara Eliya.

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.

If you want to have a great stay in Nuwara Eliya with the old colonial flair, the Hill Club is the place to be. The service was excellent (we especially enjoyed the service of Ravi) and you feel taken back in time. Its easy to walk into town and to the adjacent Grand Hotel. We stayed the first night into a modern room (which was the best we had in 4 weeks Sri Lanka so far) and the other two in the old wing (as we wanted to check it out and we also enjoyed it there) - changing rooms was arranged without problems.

Absolute hidden gem nestled in the cosy hills of Nuwara Eliya. 5 star hotel experience! Beds really comfortable and various chilled communal spaces to relax in. The staff were beyond lovely and went the extra mile to ensure we had a memorable stay. Extra shoutout for food and beverages, both the Sri Lankan and western food options were delicious. One of the best stays we’ve had in our month of travelling Sri Lanka.
