Promising far-reaching hill country views, the Teardrop property Nine Skies offers a stylishly refurbished five-bedroom tea bungalow hotel, majestically perched on a tea-fringed hill and surrounding estate near Ella. Dating back to the colonial era, the bungalow epitomises its legacy yet indulges guests with contemporary facilities and high-end personalised service – be pampered by their butlers, feast on gourmet food and dip into a garden pool with stunning views across the valley and famous Demodera Loop. All five luxurious bedrooms offer period furnishings and custom-designed fittings.
