This was my favorite place to stay in Sri Lanka! I wish I had booked more nights there. I stayed in the glamping tent, with fabulous views of a waterfall. The tent room was large and comfortable with a large outdoor deck. It had everything I needed - mini fridge, teapot, fan, rain gear. The WiFi was excellent. But the best part was the staff- all so kind and helpful. All meals were absolutely delicious!

Amazing time at Ella Retreat, the staff were very friendly and attentive. The hotel is located a short drive away from Ella city, which is a bit sketchy at times heading up the mountain (but exhilarating). Being away with nature was great, be sure to visit the nearby waterfall!

Unique and wonderful experience
Highlight of our trip in Sri Lanka. We stayed in the romantic tent which has the view to waterfalls and it was amazing. The facilities were just like in pictures and everything was clean and well maintained. You also have all the necessities you need in the tent (minibar, slippers, hairdryer). However the best part was still the staff. They are there for you from the moment you arrive and you can reach them anytime via whatsapp whenever you need more drinks, tuktuk, food or anything. The breakfast is brought to your tent every morning according to your wishes and lunch/dinner is also available. Everything was delicious and freshly made for you and you get to eat your meals in terrace with the views. All in all it was such an amazing place and would highly recommend to anyone who wants to be in the nature but still 5-star-worthy served. Nothing to complain.

El acceso es difícil en tuktuk, pero el personal se encarga de llevarte hasta la misma entrada. Está alejado de todo para que puedas disfrutar de un paraíso idílico en plena naturaleza (monos, ranas, pájaros, cascada...).
