At a glance

Nine Skies is a five-bedroom, all-inclusive tea bungalow on a working estate above Demodara, part of the Teardrop Hotels collection.

The building sits within view of the Demodera Loop, one of the most photographed railway engineering feats in Sri Lanka, with the Nine Arch Bridge a short walk through the tea gardens. At this altitude, the air is cool and the mornings are worth getting up for.

Butler service, an infinity pool, a resident naturalist, and a kitchen that operates on locally sourced produce make Nine Skies a place to stop and settle rather than move through quickly. Rooms extend from the twin Nine Skies Room up to the Ella Rock Suite, with all-inclusive access to meals, drinks, and the property’s wider offer across the day.

In detail

Food and Drink

Nine Skies operates on a fully all-inclusive basis. Breakfast extends long, with a choice between homemade granola and fresh fruit, a full cooked option, or traditional Sri Lankan fare including roti and curry.

Lunch can be taken on the veranda or as a packed picnic for guests heading out on the Pekoe Trail. Dinner centres on Sri Lankan curries, with the kitchen adapting freely to requests and dietary needs. Drinks throughout the day and evening are included in the rate.
Wellness

The infinity pool, positioned to look out over the Demodera Loop and the valley, is the focal point for relaxing on site.

The property has a library and lounge for quieter afternoons, free bicycles for independent exploring, and a resident naturalist, Dinesh, who leads morning birdwatching walks for guests wanting a guided introduction to the surrounding landscape.
Location

Nine Skies sits on a working tea estate above Demodara in Sri Lanka’s hill country, within view of the Demodera Loop railway engineering feat.

The Nine Arch Bridge, a renowned colonial-era railway bridge connecting the Demodara and Ella stations, is a short walk through the tea gardens. The Pekoe Trail also passes through the estate, with guided bridge tours arranged on request.

Sri Lanka’s tea country is a place where production and landscape are inseparable. From hand-plucked leaves to historic bungalows, this guide walks you through how the region looks, works and feels.

Wilderness to Waves: Luxury Honeymoons in Kenya

Kenya’s most compelling honeymoon itinerary moves between two entirely different worlds: the wildlife-dense plains of the Maasai Mara and the ancient coral-stone quietude of Lamu Island.

Luxury Safaris: Why Laikipia Is Kenya’s Best-Kept Secret

While the Masai Mara dominates Kenya’s safari conversation, Laikipia Plateau has quietly assembled one of Africa’s most compelling luxury wildlife destinations across its network of private conservancies. Here, exclusivity is structural rather than marketed; it takes the form of land, access, and a conservation model that keeps the crowds out by design.
