Elevate Ella Resort & Spa

We had a wonderful stay at Elevate Ella! The location is perfect, with amazing views that make the stay truly special. The rooms are spacious, comfortable, and well maintained, making it easy to relax and unwind. The pool is lovely and the perfect spot for some afternoon relaxation while enjoying the beautiful surroundings. The staff were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and helpful throughout our stay. Breakfast was another highlight, with something different each day and a great mix of local and Western options. There was plenty of variety, and everything we tried was delicious. Overall, the combination of the beautiful views, perfect location, spacious rooms, relaxing pool, varied breakfast, and warm hospitality made our stay very enjoyable. Highly recommended if you’re visiting Ella!

Amazing experience 11/10 great service polite staff

An excellent new hotel with superb rooms (room 6 for three). Great heated pool and good value food and drink (swim up bar). Not an issue for us but you'll need to deal with steps to stay here. As you may expect halfway up a hillside. Sensational views btw

A beautiful new boutique hotel featuring sustainable rock-stone architecture designed by award-winning architect Palinda Kannangara. The property has a modern, minimalist, and zen-like aesthetic, with grey-toned interiors that evoke the signature style of Tadao Ando. Our room was located at the highest point of the property, offering stunning panoramic views of the Ella Gap. The trade-off, however, is the considerable number of steps required to reach the room from the lobby, which may be challenging for some guests. Upon check-in, we encountered some issues with the Wi-Fi in our assigned room, but the hotel staff responded promptly and offered us an alternative room, which we appreciated. The hotel also features a lovely outdoor saltwater pool and is conveniently located within easy reach of the town centre. Breakfast was included and showcased traditional Sri Lankan flavours — which was served near the pool. Overall, a stylish and tranquil retreat with spectacular views, thoughtful service, and a distinctive architectural character.

Staff were lovely and incredibly helpful. Location is ideal, view is stunning. The pool was nice to swim in. If you don’t mind stairs, this place is ideal.
