Situated in Ragala near Nuwara Eliya, the iconic Stafford Bungalow by Nyne Hotels serves as a masterclass in blending ancestral character with a multi-sensory approach to slow travel. Stafford Bungalow is far more than a luxury retreat; it is a living chronicle of Sri Lanka’s economic and cultural evolution. Tucked away on the sprawling, 50-acre Stafford Estate, the residence remains intimately tied to the origin stories of Ceylon tea. Featuring six ultra-exclusive rooms, within the heritage bungalow and owner’s cottage, Stafford Bungalow provides an idyllic escape from mainstream tourism, while remaining conveniently linked to the regional capital. A stay at Stafford Bungalow remains tethered to the slow rhythms of the estate, and steeped in history.
