Arawe is a beautifully designed retreat surrounded by a peaceful oasis of rice fields. The in-house breakfast and dinner surpassed the quality of nearby restaurants. Its convenient location, just a few minutes' walk from downtown Ella, offers a scenic pathway through hilly tea plantations. The highlight was the spacious deck with hammock floors, where we enjoyed lush green views. An added bonus was the opportunity to learn about the social projects led by Arawe Retreat, supporting local farmers and empowering women through macrame crafts. The apartment's boho flair with displayed goods adds a unique touch. We highly recommend this place (for solo travelers, couples, and families)!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Absolutely amazing stay! The place was spotless—super clean and comfortable. The shower was hands down the best I’ve had in a long time! The owner was incredibly kind and welcoming, which really made it feel like a home away from home. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a cozy, relaxing place to stay. Would definitely come back!

A location to take your breath away. We arrived late afternoon and watched the sunset over the valley - just incredible. The old tea planter villa has been beautifully and authentically restored with comfort and sociability in mind. We didn’t read all the details but had taken the all inclusive option (which is advisable) which included all food and drinks. A cool gin and tonic on arrival really was the icing on the cake! We also opted for the cooking class which was great - we will see if we can reproduce anything as tasty!! The food was all delicious and the staff were attentive without being too much. Here you can keep yourself private but the layout in the lounge is such to allow you to converse with other guests which we really enjoyed. If you want to treat yourself - this is the place!
