Winning in the TripAdvisor Travelers' Choice Awards 2009 was a great achievement for Sri Lanka In Style members Ceylon Tea Trails (http://www. srilankainstyle. com/property. php? id=17&name=Tea%20Trails&type=Hotel) and Kahanda Kanda. Now in their seventh year, these Choice Awards differ from any other hotel awards program since the winners represent the unbiased opinions of millions of authentic travellers from all over the world.
"These awards, coupled with previous Conde Nast Hot List awards for both Tea Trails and Kahanda Kanda reflect on Sri Lanka as a destination that rewards travelers with fascinating experiences and truly memorable places to stay", commented Miguel Cunat, CEO of Sri Lanka In Style.

Ceylon Tea Trails, a 20-room hotel consisting of four colonial tea planters' bungalows dating from 1890 to 1939, is located within Sri Lanka's lush Golden Valley of Tea in Dickoya. Designed to offer a taste of the colonial lifestyle, each luxurious villa is enhanced by authentic period furnishings, fresh gourmet cuisine, the services of a personal butler and a glorious country garden. What's more, at this Sri Lanka hotel in the Tea Country (http://www. srilankainstyle. com/area. php? name=Hotels%20and%20Villas%20in%20The%20Tea%20Country&id=16&cat=main&type=Hotel), the fact that everything is included - from your meals, the G&Ts you sip at sundown and the wine you drink with your four-course dinner to your laundry, your phone calls and your guided Tea Experience tour - is well appreciated by guests.
Commenting on the awards, Thilan Wijesinghe, a co-founder of Tea Trails said, "it's a remarkable achievement for a Sri Lanka hotel (http://www. srilankainstyle. com/sri_lanka_hotels. php) to make the World's (ten) Best All-Inclusives list, one of only two such hotels in Asia. Together with the Hidden Gem award, this is testimony to Tea Trails' unique concept of service, private bungalows and the stunning Tea Country of Sri Lanka".
Sharing the award for Best Hidden Gems Asia was Sri Lanka In Style property Kahanda Kanda (http://www. srilankainstyle. com/property. php? id=19&name=Kahanda%20Kanda&type=Hotel). Receiving commendations on the TripAdvisor website describing this five bedroom boutique hotel as 'tropical luxury', 'hilltop oasis', 'absolute bliss' and 'a haven of tranquility', Kahanda Kanda proudly offers some of the most beautiful suites, wonderful dining and breathtaking views on the island. Overlooking Koggala Lake and situated on a working tea estate just inland from Galle, Kahanda Kanda's spacious living and dining pavilions, air conditioned gym and stunning swimming pool provide grandstands for the tropical views. Focusing on holidays in Sri Lanka (http://www. srilankainstyle. com/sri_lanka_holiday. php) that are completely luxurious, healthy and relaxing, activities include yoga, massage, meditation, personal training, cooking classes and bike rides through the rice paddies.
Kahanda Kanda owner, and renowned interior designer George Cooper says, "This latest achievement on www. tripadvisor. com reflects Kahanda Kanda's dedication to style, luxury and impeccable service.
