Demodara Nine Arch Bridge is 6.7 km from Fern Hill Cabins, while Hakgala Botanical Garden is 45 km from the property. Mattala Rajapaksa International Airport is 87 km away, and the property offers a paid airport shuttle service. The location is amazing. Peaceful with great views, and close access to the railway line beneath. So it is a good starting point for climbing Mount Ella and seeing the waterfall. A nice walk along the tracks or the road into town, or a TukTuk is always ready to drop or pick you up. The breakfasts and dinners were delicious, they catered to my vegan preferences without hesitation. The room was new and clean and the view of the train track beneath is probably the best location in Ella. I loved relaxing on the balcony in the afternoons watching the train and walkers on the tracks.

Hakgala Botanical Garden is 49 km from Tantra Ella Lodge, while Horton Plains National Park is 50 km away. Mattala Rajapaksa International Airport is 84 km from the property, and the property offers a paid airport shuttle service. We had the most wonderful stay at Tantra Ella Lodge! Angelo is a great host, always helpful, always ready to give some tips about nice restaurants and activities in and around Ella. The room was very nice and had everything we needed, and the view from the balcony was stunning – giant squirrels and hornbills came to see us in the morning amongst the beautiful trees. The hotel itself is very close to the city center, but at the same time the little street where it is located is very peaceful. We would have stayed longer if we could!

Hakgala Botanical Garden is 46 km from the accommodation, while Horton Plains National Park is 46 km from the property. Mattala Rajapaksa International Airport is 86 km away, and the property offers a paid airport shuttle service. Maybe one of the loveliest rooms we booked in our 3 weeks in Sri Lanka. It had 2 beds, a porch and a view on the opposite hill with a Buddhist temple. It is not in downtown Ella but you get the view, so it's a question of taste. Breakfast was served on the porch and was delicious. The owner was great and helped us organize our pickup to and from the cottage as well as a driver to go to Yala.

Located 49 km from Gregory Lake, Ella Breeze Homestay provides accommodation with a garden, a terrace and room service for your convenience. The lodge features both WiFi and private parking free of charge. A wonderful getaway, everything was as described. It is about 20 mins from Ella tourist central, which we loved and the host family were super friendly and responsive. Visit if you can.

Horton Plains National Park is 49 km from Arawe Retreat, while Ella Railway Station is 200 metres away. Mattala Rajapaksa International Airport is 84 km from the property, and the property offers a paid airport shuttle service. Arawe Retreat isn’t just a hotel or an apartment—it’s paradise! The location is absolutely stunning, nestled in the heart of the jungle, offering serene tranquility with the soothing sounds of frogs and crickets at night, all while being within walking distance of the town center. Don’t feel like walking? Take advantage of the complimentary tuk-tuk service they provide. The accommodation is beautifully and thoughtfully designed, with attention to even the smallest details. The bathroom is a true delight to behold! And the food, the staff—everything is simply amazing. I had read many glowing reviews before arriving and had high expectations, but this surpassed them all. It might not be the cheapest option in the area, but the experience is worth every single penny!

Featuring a garden and free WiFi, Arana Sri Lanka Eco Lodge and Yoga Center is situated in Ella, 3 km from Demodara Nine Arch Bridge. The property is around 1.1 km from Ella Spice Garden and 2.9 km from Ella Rock. The hotel offers mountain views and a terrace. Yoga classes are available at an additional charge. The chef was very accommodating for special requests at breakfast. Also the yoga class was excellent and the studio itself was beautifully set in the jungle with all of the sounds of the birds and the waterfall making for a very special experience! :-)

Hakgala Botanical Garden is 50 km from the accommodation, while Ella Railway Station is 2.3 km away. Mattala Rajapaksa International Airport is 86 km from the property, and the property offers a paid airport shuttle service. This has been our best stay in Sri Lanka without doubt. Renu is an incredibly inspiring woman, mother and co-owner who will do everything in her power to make your stay intimate, comfortable and convenient. She puts an umbrella in front of your door when it rains; she looks out the window to see how far you are to prepare breakfast; she brings everything to your table and removes it quietly. Not to mention the room, with its high double roofed ceiling that makes you feel like you’re in a nest on a treetop. It’s spacious, spotless clean (no sign of dump despite daily rain in Ella) and everything works perfectly, even though it’s literally a hanging cottage. The view from the bed/balcony is breathtaking and different every day, and you even see the famous train passing at your feet. DIGITAL NOMADS: we had quite good wifi, enough for videocalls most times of the day, but bring a sim card with data just in case.

Hakgala Botanical Garden is 50 km from The Spice Lodge, while Ella Railway Station is 1.8 km from the property. Mattala Rajapaksa International Airport is 85 km away, and the property offers a paid airport shuttle service. We had an amazing experience with Kamal during our stay From the moment he picked us up, he went above and beyond to ensure our trip was special. Kamal guided us to Diyaluma Falls, and drove us to the Halpewatte Tea Factory, and.. He was incredibly kind, attentive to details, and always made sure we were comfortable. What really stood out was Kamal’s thoughtful planning—he shared invaluable tips to help us avoid crowds and enjoy peaceful moments at each destination. He patiently waited for us, gave us plenty of time to explore, and was never in a rush. His friendly attitude, local insights, and very reasonable pricing made the experience truly memorable. We highly recommend him to anyone visiting Ella! At the same time he was not pushing us to anything we did not want to do! We also did the cooking class they offer which was also amazing local experience.
