Location

Cushioned amidst colonial buildings of yore, Xavier's Cottage stands out as a bourgeoning city bungalow. Nuwara Eliya, the historic upcountry home of our Sri Lankan hospitality, is a scenic five-hour drive from Colombo on mountain roads that wind through our island’s famed tea plantations. Originally a summer retreat during the colonial era, Nuwara Eliya translates to ‘The City Of Lights’, where the lush hills envelope our charming city with access to natural highland beauty in every direction, including Piduruthalagala – the tallest peak of Sri Lanka which proudly towers over the quaint colonial homes that are characteristic of our township.
