Although there are numerous beach resorts Sri Lanka, the country’s resorts are not all mountain and beach. Among the other popular tourist attractions are nature resorts which beckon visitors to brave the wilderness and experience wildlife at first hand.

Capturing the old world charm are colonial resorts designed to capture the essence of English country homes. Most of these resorts have handcrafted mahogany furniture and teak floors.

Theme resorts are also popular among visiting tourists and the Tea Factory resort, located a few miles away from Nuwara Eliya is a prime example of a novel setting for a hotel. The exterior of this hotel is in the form of the original tea factory with corrugated iron walls with tall wooden casement windows. The interior has been preserved to a certain degree while incorporating the modern facilities to make the guests feel comfortable. The setting is perfect for those who are looking for a snug getaway or hiking in the hills, exploring the forests and hamlets.
