About us
Dilmah Tea, the premier single origin Ceylon Tea, created Resplendent Ceylon to form a portfolio of boutique luxury resorts across Sri Lanka.
The tropical island of Ceylon was renamed Sri Lanka in 1972, which means "resplendent island" in Sanskrit.
Resplendent Ceylon aims to offer the upscale traveller a range of authentic cultural experiences while contributing towards local communities and the environment through the MJF Foundation & Dilmah Conservation.
The first property Ceylon Tea Trails opened in 2005 as the country’s first Relais & Châteaux, an iconic collection of five colonial era tea planters’ bungalows restored to impeccable style, to offer a taste of gracious living in 26 suites and rooms, with butler service and original furnishings, accompanied by gourmet meals. Walking trails connect the bungalows which are from 2km to 15km apart - follow the Tea Trail through scenic Ceylon tea gardens from one unique bungalow to the next, staying a night or two at each or just laze in one.
Its new sister resort, Cape Weligama, a luxe cliffside retreat, sits on a stunning Indian Ocean headland near Galle, where 39 private Suites and Villas have been designed by renowned architect Lek Bunnag. Each of the spacious Suites and Villas is surrounded by a flower-filled garden, 15m infinity edge pool and catered to by attentive staff.
Accolades Cape Weligama has received include:
Conde Nast Traveller Hot List 2015 - Most Exciting Hotel Openings, Travel & Leisure USA, IT List 2015 - Best New Hotels On The Planet, Tatler Travel Guide 2015 - Best New Hotels, House & Garden - The Most Beautifully Designed Hotels In The World
Two luxury tented camps are underway; Wild Coast Lodge will open in 2018 on a secluded beach in leopard hotspot Yala National Park and Red Rocks Beach Camp follows on a pristine sandy beach in Kuchaveli on the North East coast. A resort near Sigiriya, in the Cultural Triangle, also designed by Lek Bunnag, will complete the collection.
