Surrounded by mist swathed mountains in the centre of Sri Lanka, sits the hill capital Nuwara Eliya. Hotels and guest houses from the rustic to the grandiose dot the slopes and hide in lush green plantations. Tucked away, down its own little lane, close to the heart of town yet away from the bustle is the quaint old mansion of Jetwing St. Andrew's. Built around an old Tudor country house which served as a grand colonial residence during the days of British rule, here, you take a step back a hundred years and more to another era of old world charm and tradition, where customs of yore are still maintained to the letter. Full English breakfasts to enjoy, high tea on the lawn to linger over with the finest of plantation best freshly poured; with log fires lit, and stiff brandies poured to warm the chill of the night. Where the comforts of yesteryear cleverly conceal every must have amenity of today allowing you to enjoy the best of both worlds. Leisurely surveys of green tea plantations, a round of golf on a world famous course, a little fishing on the lake – all the pastimes of the past await you on holiday with a difference. If a journey back in time is what you seek, our doors at Jetwing St. Andrew's in Nuwara Eliya are always open to welcome you warmly back to the past.

Situated high in the central hills at 6,182 feet (1'884 meters) above sea level Jetwing St. Andrew's is a unique old world hotel in Nuwara Eliya Sri Lanka. The hill capital of Nuwara Eliya is around 170km from the Bandaranaike International airport in Katunayake, and a truly scenic 5 hour drive through some breathtaking landscape. This old colonial post is snug in a high valley surrounded by tall mountain ranges and with its cool climate and green slopes it was fondly named 'little England' by the planter's who settled there. The town too, kept to this moniker – the official buildings and the residences both grand and humble were built to remind them of the 'home country' and many have survived to this day, making the town a quaint reminder of a time gone by. One of finest of these old mansions – a stately Tudor style residence over a century old Jetwing St. Andrew's is indeed a place to reminisce of an era past.
