Discover the colonial charm of Nine Skies, a luxury boutique hotel nestled near Ella, Sri Lanka. This bungalow hotel offers guests a serene escape with its breathtaking views of the famous Demodera Loop.
This historic tea bungalow, transformed into an exclusive retreat, offers a seamless blend of traditional elegance and modern comfort.
You’ll enjoy a butler service when you stay here too, so you can just relax and take it all in while you’re waited on.
Each of the five bedrooms in Nine Skies presents a unique ambiance, complemented by personalised service and stunning valley views.

They also support several orphanages in their community and host educational tours and workshops to teach the youth how to protect biodiversity.
It’s an ideal destination for those seeking a serene getaway amidst the lush landscapes of Sri Lanka.

While the legal situation for LGBTQ+ individuals in Sri Lanka remains challenging, with same-sex sexual activity still criminalized under colonial-era laws, the country offers a more welcoming reality for LGBTQ+ travelers. Many resorts and hotels, particularly in tourist-heavy areas, actively cater to queer visitors, offering safe, inclusive environments where LGBTQ+ individuals can feel comfortable and respected.
Sri Lanka’s vibrant tourist destinations, such as Colombo, Galle, and the beaches of the South Coast, have developed a reputation for being LGBTQ+-friendly, with a growing number of establishments offering queer-inclusive services. Although some discretion is advised due to the country’s conservative cultural attitudes, many international visitors report having an enjoyable and safe experience.
Sri Lanka’s stunning beaches, rich culture, and warm hospitality make it an increasingly popular destination for LGBTQ+ travelers seeking adventure and relaxation. As with any destination, it’s important to be aware of local customs and laws, but Sri Lanka remains a beautiful and welcoming place for those looking to explore a tropical paradise.
