Location
The Watawala Tea Plantation Bungalow is nestled in the misty hills of Watawala, surrounded by lush green tea estates, pine forests and the beautiful Mahaweli River.
Nestled in Sri Lanka’s central highlands at an elevation of approximately 1,230 metres (4,035 feet), Watawala is a haven of misty hills, emerald tea fields, and towering pine forests swaying in the cool mountain breeze. Renowned as one of the island’s lushest regions, it is nourished by abundant rainfall and cradled by the winding Mahaweli River, whose distant murmur blends with birdsong and the rhythmic chug of passing trains. Just five minutes away lies the town of Watawala, a quaint hillside settlement steeped in the charm of Sri Lanka’s tea country. The air is thick with the fragrance of fresh tea and damp earth, as swirling mists dance through the valleys, veiling and unveiling the breathtaking landscape. Whether bathed in golden morning light or wrapped in the mystery of drifting clouds, Watawala is a place where time slows, nature flourishes, and the soul finds quiet retreat amidst Sri Lanka’s enchanting highlands.
