At a glance
SinhaGiri is a luxury 19th-century bungalow in Nuwara Eliya, a city in Sri Lanka’s famous tea county. It was a key hub of the British colonial era, and it has a distinctly British feel. It’s even referred to as “Little England.” British colonists profited from the local tea industry, and this was their retreat. Surrounded by verdant countryside, tea plantations and manicured lawns, it’s an idyllic setting.
The SinhaGiri bungalow has two suites. The decor is very chic and it has an air of late-Victorian decadence. You could imagine Oscar Wilde staying here. Combining Sri Lankan and colonial design, it’s full of charming antiques and artworks. SinhaGiri overlooks Gregory Lake and the racecourse.

Whilst the legal situation for LGBTQ+ people in Sri Lanka is less than ideal, travellers to the country will find a different reality as the majority of resorts and hotels provide safe haven for foreign queer people. Whilst some discretion is advised, Sri Lanka is an incredibly popular gay travel destination.
Accommodation
The theme of the property is relaxation. The five rooms that make up SinhaGiri are perfect for a dreamy romantic getaway. Read a book, enjoy the art and make the most of the fresh air as you explore the surrounding landscapes. The suites you’ll return to are very spacious. Each one comes with a fireplace, ensuite bathroom, King Bed, warmly accented colours and tasteful furnishings. Both suites are full of character and far removed from the more generic style you may expect from big chain hotels.
