Arana Sri Lanka Eco Lodge and Yoga Center, hotel in Ella

Featuring a garden and free WiFi, Arana Sri Lanka Eco Lodge and Yoga Center is located in Ella, 1.9 mi from Demodara Nine Arch Bridge.

Amazing place, breathtaking views! We realized the moment that we checked in that we SHOULD have booked for two nights (or more) not one. I would have loved to have attended the cooking and yoga classes and simply enjoyed the majestic location.

Ella Wood Cabin, hotel in Ella

Located 3 miles from Demodara Nine Arch Bridge, Ella Wood Cabin provides accommodations with a garden, a terrace and free shuttle service for your convenience.

I loved that it was central to Ella only a couple minutes walk into town, but also still quiet where we stayed and secluded for privacy. Additionally our host Kasun made an amazing breakfast every morning for us. Plus the little details of a hair brush, hairdryer etc. in the room just made the stay even more comfortable!!!

Ella Rock Glance, hotel in Ella

Located 4.1 miles from Demodara Nine Arch Bridge, Ella Rock Glance has accommodations with a garden, a terrace and a shared kitchen for your convenience.

We are so lucky to have chosen this place! I have already stayed at a hotel with famous Ella view and wanted something different. This is a much more intimate nature experience. The tiny two room hotel in nestled in a tiny valley at the end of paved road. Hardly any car sounds get through the thick vegetation, so you are tet-a-tet with birds singing. Local ladies pick tea so close you could come join in if you wanted to. This would be an ideal place for a retreat (there's a meditation center in walking distance btw). The owners were so kind and genuine and attentive, it was a cherry on top of the whole experience. They prepared our breakfasts and (for a fee) dinners, which were big and delicious, and they were eager to accommodate my kids' special food requests and go beyond to impress them. They live a bit far from the place, and have a really cool system set up for delivering your food on a bike and serving it to you. The communication is great, almost instant. I have got to meet almost the whole family of these wonderful people.

    Absolutely one of the best places we stayed in Sri Lanka! The location is amazing and offers the most beautiful views. The hut is comfortable and cozy. The breakfast is different every day and made with love. The owners are passionate about their work, and you can feel it in the lodges and the service. An extra plus for us is that they also take great care of the animals that sometimes wander around.

It is 5min from the center by tuktuk but it is worth it for the views. To go to the center there is no problem, they have tuktuk and help you to move whenever you need it.
