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! 🙏❤️

This was our favourite place to stay from our entire trip. Everything was fantastic. The room, facilities, the view, hosts and breakfast. The room was cool enough with a large ceiling fan but there was no air con (not an issue for us though).

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.

PINAR

From

United Arab Emirates

The guy in charge was super helpful. He made restaurant reservations for us and gave us very useful tips about places to visit. On our check-out day, we had to leave by 2:45am in the morning. He prepared breakfast for our early morning trip, woke up at our check-out time and assisted us to carry the luggages down to the main road at that time of the day.

Maybe for someone the first impression from outside is not perfect but after that you realize that this guys are doing perfect job. Everything is clean and breakfast is really very good. View is amazing of course and it was so easy to get tuk tuk from owners ( 6 min to Ella center). Family room is quite comfortable and balcony is so big.

Very cosy place with wonderful view! The hosts were friendly and helped us to feel the Ella magic at its best (with all advices and help on transfers). The location is also great, as it is only 10 mins by foot to all the restaurants area. Definitely recommend the place!
