About Hilldale Retreat

Forty rooms spread across a hillside estate in Labookellie, Hilldale Retreat overlooks the tea country above Nuwara Eliya at roughly 1,800 metres — each balcony frames rows of pruned tea bushes rather than road traffic or rooftops.

Rooms come with soundproofing, walk-in closets, and minibars; the outdoor pool sits on a terrace where mountain and garden views run uninterrupted. The kitchen serves themed dinners and packed lunches for day hikes — useful given the trailheads beginning within the estate grounds. A golf course lies under two miles away.

Labookellie places guests midway between Nuwara Eliya town and the Ramboda Pass road, with the Labookellie Tea Centre a short drive along the A5. Airport shuttle and car rental are both available on-site.
