As the morning mist lifts from the green hills of Hatton, The Argyle appears almost like a Scottish castle perched among the tea country. Surrounded by manicured gardens, colourful blooms and sweeping mountain views, this beautiful highland retreat offers a wonderfully peaceful escape, just around three hours from Colombo.
The Argyle takes its name from a Scottish tea planter who settled in the Kuda-Oya area generations ago and became part of the story of Ceylon Tea. That heritage lives on in the character of the property, where old-world charm meets contemporary comfort and warm Sri Lankan hospitality.
Its beautifully appointed rooms open onto spectacular views of the surrounding hills, while the heated pool is the perfect place to unwind after a day exploring the region. Dining at Queen Mary’s brings together fresh local produce and international flavours, while carefully curated excursions offer the chance to discover some of the lesser-known treasures of Sri Lanka’s hill country.
The Argyle is the kind of place where you can slow down, breathe in the mountain air and simply enjoy being surrounded by nature.
A charming highland retreat in the heart of Sri Lanka’s tea country.
