    I recently visited Ella in Sri Lanka and had a wonderful experience. The views from Ella Rock and Little Adam's Peak were breathtaking. The town had a relaxed vibe with charming cafes and shops. I enjoyed hiking to Ravana Falls and taking a train ride through the tea plantations. Ella is a must-visit for nature lovers and adventure seekers.

    Ella is a tourist town, so many of the activities and services are geared for tourists. The variety of restaurants is wide with options from around the world. Transport, guides, and bookings are available in numerous places throughout the compact downtown area. Hotels can also provide information about the local attractions as many are within easy walking distance.

    The view, atmosphere, attractions and locals were all impressive. However, we found out the hard way that the prices of goods and services have increased a lot... Taxi drivers charge a hefty amount for short distances (600 rupees for one kilometer) Many hoteliers are reluctant to take dinner orders in-house because of the high price of food items in the city Not sure whether this issue is a result of enforcing tourist prices, inflation, or an issue because we searched in the wrong places... Despite this everything else was absolutely charming and we enjoyed it a lot.

    Ella has the most spectacular location, really gorgeous.

    Ella has the most spectacular location, really gorgeous. The train trip was wonderful. The waterfalls all around are lovely. The stores in town were fun. But we were surprised by how many tourists there were, how crowded and overdeveloped. The giant outdoor screens, the competing loud music, the catering to western travelers made it less fun than other areas of Sri Lanka.

    Nice little town, you can do some nice outdoor activity such as trekking to little Adam’s pick and zip line, see the waterfall, the famous nine arch bridge, enjoy some good meals in one of the restaurants on the main road. Rice&curry at the Chill cafè is very good, the dream cafe has an international cuisine so I had a chicken wrap also really good, instead at The Barn I had a really good overnight oat breakfast. You can also take a cooking class some restaurants offer this activity three times a day 11am, 4pm and 7pm or you can also enjoy a yoga class usually you don’t need to book classes are at 8 am or 4 pm. In my opinion one night and a full day is enough to visit the main things.

    Amazing location and the view (tho a bit remote from Ella, around 20-25 min drive, the hotel offers tuktuk for a good price.). If you’re looking for a peaceful gem with the astonishing surroundings this is it. The room was super spacious, nice bathroom, comfortable beds, very good standard. Pool with even better views (you have to climb quite a lot of stairs to get to it, it’s above the hotel). Delicious food in the restaurant, very reasonable prices. The staff is super helpful, quick, and nice. It was a pleasure to stay.

    An excellent boutique accommodation at Ella. It is nestled in the middle of a tea estate. 20 minutes drive from Ella. So peaceful and quiet. Beautiful 180° view from room balcony including Ella Waterfall. Manager Lahiru and his team of staff look after every guests' needs. All rooms come with tea, coffee making facilities, and bathroom toiletteries are provided. The infinity pool is located on top of a hill. It's absolutely stunning. Anyone can spend the whole day. Highly recommended.

    Two thumbs up, amazingly friendly staff and breathtaking views of Sunset and moonset. View of the nine arch bridge and the valley was absolutely beautiful And the hotel was quite secluded and isolated from the busyness of the town in Ella. We would certainly stay again and will stay next time we visit Ella. Special thank Dharshan (one of the staff members) who was very friendly, accommodating, and always greeted us with a warm smile whenever we saw him. Thank you!!

    The One Ella is only two boutique apartments situated near Little Adam’s Peak, well away from busy downtown Ella. View to Ella Rock - perfect for chilling in the patio hammock. Lovely friendly staff. Breakfast served on your patio. Bed, bathroom, room - all good. Within walking distance of Little Adam’s Peak, the Nine Arch Bridge and only a short tuk tuk ride to downtown Ella though there area number of restaurants very nearby.
