Some places don’t just offer a stay—they offer a story. Highgrove Estate by Ishq is one of them. Tucked away in the rolling hills of Labookellie, this restored 19th-century planter’s bungalow is where old-world charm meets contemporary luxury, all wrapped in a landscape of endless emerald tea fields.

Here, mornings are slow and mist-kissed, with a freshly brewed Ceylon tea in hand, while the sun creeps over the hills. The spacious bedrooms—all light-filled, elegantly furnished, and wrapped in sumptuously soft linens—invite you to sleep in a little longer. The gardens? Immaculately kept, perfect for afternoon strolls or long conversations by the firepit as the golden hues of sunset roll in.

Your private chef will craft a menu of fresh, locally inspired dishes, served wherever you please—perhaps breakfast overlooking the tea fields or a candlelit dinner beneath the stars. And when you’re ready to explore, you’re perfectly placed to wander through Nuwara Eliya, visit historic tea factories, or simply get lost in the beauty of Sri Lanka’s highlands.

Somewhere between tea and tranquility, history and home, Highgrove Estate is a retreat designed for those who appreciate life at a slower, more refined pace.
