Featuring a terrace and room service, Barn Hills is well located in Ella, 1.9 km from Demodara Nine Arch Bridge and 1.9 km from Little Adam's Peak. With mountain views, this accommodation provides a balcony.

OK, this is truly unbeatable location - truly the BEST! The owners are extremely helpful, friendly, charming and even with their limited knowledge of English, they always try to do their best. They picked us up at the train station when we arrived and picked us up from the city even late in the evening.

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 whole experience was really amazing. Before we arrived, we were contacted so that we could be picked up from Ella train station, with clear instructions. We were also running a bit late and could pre-order from their restaurant. When we got there, the whole team of staff were so friendly and kind, helping us with luggage, letting us know what we could do and arranging transport. They work with particular tuk tuk drivers that they feel offer good service and that they trust. The meals were delicious, in particular the breakfasts. The room that we got was spacious and had all the facilities that we needed. There were plenty aircon so we weren't too hot. It is in the middle of nature so there can be some tiny insects about- but we loved that. All in all a really wonderful time and I couldn't recommend enough.

Spectacular views, kind and attentive hosts and the best Sri Lankan breakfast we’ve had so far (and we’ve had some amazing breakfasts). Spice Lodge is near Little Adams Peak and the Nine Arch Bridge and that was the main reason we chose it at first but would love to come back. The fireflies at night were magical!

Hakgala Botanical Garden is 49 km from Tantra Ella Lodge, while Horton Plains National Park is 50 km from the property. The nearest airport is Mattala Rajapaksa International, 84 km from the accommodation, and the property offers a paid airport shuttle service.

Our host Anjelo was so sweet, helpful and attentive. My boyfriend had an infection in his foot, and Anjelo boiled hot water for him every morning, so he could clean his wounds. The lodge itself is pure magic, situated within walking distance from Ella, but in a very quiet area where all you hear is exotic birds, frogs and squirrels. You also see light bugs! It’s like living in the middle of the jungle. Anjelo lights incense every morning, so there is always this amazing, spiritual smell. Thank you Anjelo for a wonderful stay! We will be back :-)

Horton Plains National Park is 50 km from Ayubo Ella - Bed & Breakfast, while Ella Railway Station is 1.4 km from the property. The nearest airport is Mattala Rajapaksa International, 86 km from the accommodation, and the property offers a paid airport shuttle service.

During my recent trip to Ella, Sri Lanka, I had the pleasure of staying at the Ayubo Ella Bed & Breakfast, and I must say it was an unforgettable experience. From the breathtaking views to the impeccable service, this charming establishment truly left a lasting impression. The first thing that struck me upon arrival was the absolutely amazing view. Nestled amidst the lush greenery of Ella, this cozy bed and breakfast offers panoramic vistas of the surrounding landscapes. It's a sight that truly takes your breath away and sets the tone for a relaxing stay. Ayubo Ella boasts three fantastic rooms, each uniquely decorated and exuding a warm and inviting ambiance. What truly sets this place apart, though, is the personal touch of the hotel owner, Wajira. He goes above and beyond to ensure that guests have a comfortable and enjoyable stay. His dedication to hospitality is evident in every aspect of the property. One of the highlights of my stay was the proximity to Ella's main attractions. Ayubo Ella is conveniently located just 1.2 kilometers away from the heart of Ella, and it's within walking distance of the train station. A leisurely 20-minute walk through the picturesque surroundings is all it takes to reach the town center, making it incredibly convenient for travelers. The staff at Ayubo Ella are some of the friendliest and most accommodating individuals I've encountered. They were always ready to assist with a warm smile and helpful recommendations. The super breakfast they served each morning was not only delicious but also a perfect start to my day of exploration. Additionally, the dinner options were equally delectable and showcased the culinary expertise of the kitchen.

Looking for a cabin?

For the active travellers, a chalet is a great mix of the outdoors and the snug inside. Usually fully furnished and self-catered, chalets are typically wooden and in the Alpine region of Europe, but can also be found elsewhere in the world. Characterised by their sloped roofs, chalets can be single units or separate apartments, and are ideal for skiing holidays.

    A beautiful, peaceful little cabin in the woods! It was so nice to be away from the busy main road but a still able to walk the short distance in for food etc. Breakfast was AMAZING! A fresh, delicious spread - more than you could eat. The host was the best we eperienced throughout our travels. He was great to chat to but gave you lots of space to do your own thing. We really were so happy with the stay :)

The views were of little Adams peak, Ella valley and Ella rocks. Neighbors included group of monkeys providing ample entertainment in the morning. Situated in the mountain where you really felt one with nature. Stayed for two nights but could have stayed for lot longer.

    The location was great and the hosts were very helpful and kind. A beautiful view from the balcony and we liked sitting out on the swing chair taking in the view. We took a cookery class at Nanda cookery school and it was a highlight of our trip. Also the pumpkin curry at Matey Hut. The host gave us good recommendations.
