The Hideaway Ella  

Tucked into Sri Lanka’s central hill country near Ella and Bandarawela, The Hideaway Ella sits within easy reach of Ravana Falls, Dowa Temple and Amphitikanda Tea Estate. It’s a great base for Little Adam’s Peak, Lipton’s Seat and the Nine Arches Bridge — ideal for travelers chasing waterfalls and tea-plantation views.

This compact guesthouse has just eight air-conditioned rooms with separate bathtubs and showers, in-room desks and daily housekeeping. Public spaces include a terrace, garden and a small library, plus picnic and barbeque areas for relaxed evenings. The vibe is simple and fresh — think cozy hill-station comfort with practical touches.

Swim in an indoor and outdoor pool, unwind in the spa and massage rooms, or stroll the garden and terrace for tea-garden views. There’s tour/ticket assistance and a TV in a common area. Wake up to misty mornings and easy access to nearby trails and waterfalls.

Complimentary wireless internet keeps you connected. A 24-hour front desk, laundry and dry-cleaning services, and free self parking are available. Airport transfers can be arranged for a surcharge.

On-site restaurant serves local flavors and a complimentary continental breakfast daily from 7:30–9:00. Limited-hour room service is offered for late arrivals and relaxed nights in.
