Spa & Wellness
At 98 Acres there is a charming spa where you can enjoy rituals featuring tea and herbs that are grown on the estate. The treatment rooms are all open-sided aloowing you privacy whilst taking in the breath-taking views. One of the top treatments is the 98 Royal Treatment, a two-hour pampering session that includes an aromatherapy massage, reflexology and a scented milky bath. Yoga lessons and a gym are also available.
Activities
Take the chance to hike, bike or trek though the stunning scenery surrounding the resort. Or you can take a dip in the pool whilst looking out to the nearby hills and tea plantations. Why not go on a guided walk around the tea plantation to learn about Sri Lanka's history? 98 Acres also provides a private cooking class, a hands-on lesson in Sri Lankan cuisine.
Sustainability
The chalets are made from natural materials, including old wooden railway sleepers, granite and “illuk” straw thatch. All the buildings are positioned and constructed to benefit from cooling breezes, so air conditioning is not needed. The electric golf buggies used to carry people and things around the resort produce no emissions and almost no noise pollution. Ingredients for the kitchen and bar are sourced as locally as possible, which includes tea from the estate itself.
Rooms
There are only 36 rooms at 98 Acres Resort & Spa and these are set in thatched buildings that look like they are floating. Each room, from Deluxe to Premier Deluxe, has incredible views over the surrounding landscapes with dark wood furnishings and a balcony. The Grand Executive Suite is the only room which has its own plunge pool, perfect for a honeymoon treat!
