Arawe is a newly renovated 150-year old nature cottage located around 400m from the centre of Ella.

The cottage stands on a 5-acre land overlooking a rice paddy field and is the only guest accommodation on the property.

An absolutely exceptional property set in a perfect spot. The photos do not do it justice. The hosts were amazing. We even had a cooking class and invited others we met on our travels. Very accomodating and helpful

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.

This was one of our best experience ever. This house is build by the owner, only from wood. You are completely surrounded by nature and you can hear the river. The breakfast is very good and the owner is extremly kind, he will help you with his tuk tuk for a lower price. I will recommend this acommodation to all of my friends who will come to Sri Lanka💛

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.

    Located close to central Ella with a very handy shortcut up the hill (don’t walk up the hill, take the shortcut along the train track ;) ). The views were second to none - we could see the whole valley and distant hills as well as a waterfall from our balcony. The rooms were very comfortable with a wooden cabin feel and a lovely balcony. The staff were brilliant and looked after us very well - very nice check in/out and helped organise our transport to our next stop. Breakfast was also a massive win - highly recommend the omelette!

    This is by far the best room you can get in Ella!!! The view is just absolutely amazing. It is quiet, the little wooden chalet is super romantic and luxurious and it has everything you need! And if this werent enough the host is just absolutely incredible. Tasty homemade breakfast every morning and I wish I had tasted his dinner. Easy to walk to Ella through a cute forest path or even over the railway which is a bit longer though.
