One word comes to mind with Oliphant, 'resplendent'. Its location in the cool highlands, the beautifully kept gardens and the stunning mountain backdrop combine to form a dreamlike setting. This is the perfect place to unwind. By day, you'll venture into the misty mountains and explore local tea plantations, sampling the delicious beverage as you go. These are apt experiences, given this bungalow was once the home of Sir Anthony Oliphant, the eighth Chief Justice of Ceylon, who established one of the first tea estates in Nuwara Eliya in 1840. Back at the hotel, sip a pre-dinner drink and get to know the other guests in the cosy lounge before dining on authentic, mouthwatering Sri Lankan curries at 'The Oliphant' restaurant.
