The cooking session at Thotalagala is a chance to explore the flavours of Sri Lanka through local ingredients, fragrant spices and some of the island’s much-loved dishes.

Guests get hands-on as the dishes come together, learning about the ingredients and techniques along the way. Later that day, everyone sits down to enjoy what they’ve prepared. A lovely way to spend some time with Sri Lankan food and flavours.

Every cup of tea tells a story. At Thotalagala, that story begins in the misty hills of Uva and unfolds with every sip.

Our tea tasting experience invites you to discover the story of Ceylon tea through its remarkable range of flavours, aromas and distinctive characters.

From light, delicate notes to richer, fuller expressions, each cup reveals something unique about the island, its climate and the landscapes in which its tea is grown.

Surrounded by the rolling tea estates of the Uva Highlands, this is an opportunity to experience Ceylon tea at its source and discover the journey behind every leaf.

The Morning Room at Thotalagala.

There’s something nice about starting the morning here. The light comes in softly, the timber keeps the room warm, and the Uva Highlands sit in the mist outside. Add a book and a cup of Ceylon tea, and there’s not much reason to hurry.

A slower side of life at Thotalagala.

At Lipton’s Seat, the world unfolds in silence and scale.

Cinereous Tit, Oriental White-eye, and the Indian Pitta are among the birds seen at Thotalagala, either as residents or seasonal visitors.

The hill country of Sri Lanka supports a rich and distinctive bird population, shaped by its forests, tea estates, and cooler climate. Each species adds its own presence to the landscape from the small, active movements of the white-eye and tit to the rare and much-anticipated appearance of the Pitta.

It is a rewarding environment for bird-life, and for those who take the time to observe it closely.
