Pure Luxury

“Call me spoiled - but I love to be treated like a queen when traveling. Only the best is good enough for me. Hotels that make my vacation a dream of luxury and seduction are my choices. Pay attention to the (violet Medal) for luxury accommodation.”

Sustainable Travel

“There is only one earth and we should go out and see it. I like hotels, which look for sustainability. It is not only protecting the ecology, but also taking care for the local business and culture. I recommend the medal for eco accomodation. Let’s protect our earth. Sustainable travel is travelling with responsibility.”

Markus Lenk, Düsseldorf, Germany

Nuwara Eliya can be explored from two perspectives when choosing a destination: central places in the city and scenic landmarks in the surrounding area. The Nuwara Eliya Golf Club’s golf course is located in the heart of the city, and Victoria Park is also centrally located. Single Tree Hill and Galway’s Land add views and a montane ecosystem park to the picture. These differences give your search for a destination a concrete direction: Would you mainly like to get to know urban places, or is the landscape around Nuwara Eliya more central to your plans? If you’re looking for hotels in Nuwara Eliya, this question can help you sort out your interests.

Urban Places with Different Characters

Victoria Park was named in 1897 after Queen Victoria to commemorate the diamond jubilee of her visit to Sri Lanka. The year and the occasion give the park a specific historical connection. At the same time, it is a peaceful place and suitable for children. If you’re travelling with children or would like to include a quiet place in your plans, Victoria Park offers a clear urban landmark. The Nuwara Eliya Golf Club’s golf course offers a different emphasis: it is located in the heart of the city and brings golf into the picture as another theme. The park and golf course thus appeal to different interests within the urban setting.

Views and Montane Landscape

Single Tree Hill rises 250 metres above Nuwara Eliya. From this scenic viewpoint, you can look out over the city, Haggala Mountain, the Pidurutalagala range, Lake Gregory and the northern part of Horton Plains. The view thus combines the city with several named scenic destinations. The elevation is also a concrete part of the site’s profile: it describes the hill’s position in relation to Nuwara Eliya. A road through the tea plantation provides access to Single Tree Hill.

Galway’s Land offers a different connection to the landscape. The montane ecosystem park lies a few kilometres east of Nuwara Eliya. Unlike the viewpoint, it is described by its designation as an ecosystem park and its location. For orientation, this distinction is useful: Single Tree Hill is a viewpoint with named sights, while Galway’s Land is a park in the nearby area. Each gives the landscape around Nuwara Eliya its own character, without describing the same kind of place.

Choose the Right Focus for Your Trip

To help make your decision, you can start by asking what draws you to Nuwara Eliya most. The peaceful, child-friendly Victoria Park combines an urban place with a historical dedication. The golf course is in the heart of the city; Single Tree Hill brings views of the city and surrounding destinations to the fore. Galway’s Land adds the distinctive character of a montane ecosystem park to this selection. This makes it possible to assess the destination through concrete differences: the park, golf, panorama and ecosystem park appeal to different interests.
