In Sri Lanka’s Tea Country, Ceylon Tea Trails offers an intimate and elegant setting for families seeking privacy and meaningful time together. Set within a 2,000-acre living tea estate, celebrations unfold calmly and personally, centred around curated Chinese gourmet dishes that honour traditional flavours and New Year symbolism. Each evening is complemented by a special Lunar New Year turndown amenity, thoughtfully presented as a gesture of welcome and good fortune.
At Wild Coast Tented Lodge, bold new beginnings are embraced amid a dramatic natural landscape on the edge of Yala National Park.
