We absolutely LOVED “Lush in Ella”. If you are wanting to experience peaceful oasis in Ella, this is the place. The design of this unique space hits all the marks in an off the beaten path stay. A junglalow with a view of waterfall, the jungle sounds immersed in nature. The room is private, super clean and the design of the space is just perfect 🤩 it is a 10 out of 10!!! Saman and her husband were so helpful and kind. The breakfast was awesome… we are vegan and they were very accommodating. Thank you for being such wonderful hosts! 🙏❤️

The location is not far from the downtown area but far enough to have a relaxing stay. You can easily walk to small Adams Peak and the 9 arch bridge from there. The host was a wonderful gentleman who made sure my stay was an excellent one and provided me with useful information during my stay. He even arranged my transfer to Trincomalee which I appreciated. The room itself was very comfortable with a fan that kept the room at a nice temperature as the nights are cool.Nice bed and good hot water pressure.

The stay was beautiful from the start! The management team set us up with a pickup from the station and they provided us with one of their tuktuk and also with a personal support Ravindu! Ravindu was with us at all the point he helped us get settled in, gave us local suggestions and took us to different points with always beautiful smile! They stay was very unique as you can see beautiful view of Ella rock and little Adam’s peak! It’s very dreamy!

View is amazing. I had a small balcony facing the mountain and a waterfall. Very peaceful place. Bed is very comfortable, room is clean and the area could get a bit chilly during the night which i love. It’s a nice short walk to the main town through the rail. The family’s running it is super nice. They always have good energy and very attentive. Would highly

What a surprise - I booked this place on the morning of arrival and couldn’t be luckier! Absolutely stunning views, rooms are facing the hills and you can’t see or hear anything but amazing nature and wildlife. Spacious bathroom and comfortable room, super pleasant balcony as well. The 2 gentleman running the place were extremely helpful and smiley, and prepared an amazing breakfast! It’s a Sri Lankan breakfast with dal and coconut sambal (thanks for the recipe!) and unless you’re a very picky eater you’ll love it. It’s located 30min walk from center of Ella but you want to avoid that area anyway as it’s pretty touristy. Focus on the trails, hills and tea plantations.

Staying at this guesthouse was one of the highlights from our travels around Sri Lanka. The owner and his family are the kindest and nicest people. They helped us with the most random requests and always made sure to go above and beyond to make us feel welcome. The room was very clean and spacious. The bed was very comfortable. The breakfast deserves its own paragraph as it was SO MUCH delicious food. The owner also mixed things up every day which was a very nice touch. Can’t wait to come back soon!

we were flabbergasted by the view at ella gap from the rooftop. crew was amazingly helpful. they drove our tuktuk up to the guesthouse because we didn’t dare to drive the steep hill. hilltop is away from the busy and loud mainstreet. superquiet allthough 5 minutes from the centre. our host gave us the perfect advice to get around.
