the Paradise Island

Sri Lanka

Sri Lanka is a mesmerizing island country, South of India, famously known as the ‘Pearl of the Indian Ocean’. 
Encompassed by the blue Indian Ocean, the island is blessed with lavish green tropical forests to highlands, arid plains and flawless sandy beaches.

The famous venetian traveler Marco Polo described Sri Lanka as being “for its size, better circumstanced than any island in the world”.

Only a very few places in the world have as many UNESCO Heritage sites packed in to such a small area such as Sri Lanka (8 Heritage Sites).

The Wind Castle hotel is located in Shanthipura

The highest village in Sri Lanka at an altitude of 7,339 feet -a mere Four kilometer drive from the Nuwara Eliya town and access to the hotel is a smooth and easy ride.

For the adventurous, several walking paths around the hotel lead to some of the most scenic places in Nuwara Eliya. One of them leads to the ‘Single Tree Hill’ or ‘One Tree Hill’- the 10th tallest mountain in Sri Lanka. Others lead to the Galway’s Land National Park, and the breathtaking ‘Moon Plains’ etc.
