We visited with a large group of friends from Australia over Xmas. Having already fallen in love with the country I was blown away by 98 Acres. The rooms are stunning, if you’re lucky enough to have a roll out bed there is no experience like sitting on your bed looking at the stunning views of Ella. 

We had incredibly good food at the restaurant and every staff member was kind, friendly and very helpful. The spa was one of the best experiences for all of us on the whole Sri Lankan trip. 

The transport between amenities is brilliant - no trying to navigate steep climbs in the dark after a few beers! The prices were so incredibly good for the accommodation and the services. 

If we return to Sri Lanka which I plan to - we will absolutely return to 98 Acres.

Cannot Recommend More Highly

Excellent 
No words to say

Highly recommend to any.

Highly recommended

Our stay at 98 Acres Hotel in Ella was absolutely fantastic! From the moment we arrived, we were mesmerized by the stunning views of the lush tea plantations surrounding the property. The hotel’s design beautifully complements the natural landscape, creating a tranquil and picturesque atmosphere. Riding to our room in a golf buggy added an extra touch of excitement for the whole family.

Our room was spacious and beautifully decorated, equipped with modern amenities and a cozy ambiance. The large windows provided breathtaking views of the mountains and tea fields, making every moment special. Relaxing on the large swinging ottoman while listening to nature was truly amazing. The bed was incredibly comfortable, ensuring a restful night’s sleep. It’s worth noting that none of the rooms are air-conditioned, but we didn’t find it necessary, as the temperature was around 18 degrees at night.

The staff at 98 Acres were exceptional—always warm, friendly, and eager to help with any requests. The dining experience was delightful, featuring a diverse menu that showcased delicious local cuisine alongside international favorites. Each meal was thoughtfully prepared and beautifully presented.

The location is perfect for exploring Ella, with easy access to popular attractions like Little Adam’s Peak and the Nine Arches Bridge. After a day of hiking, it was wonderful to unwind in the serene environment of the hotel.

I highly recommend 98 Acres Hotel to anyone visiting Ella. It was a memorable experience, and I can’t wait to return!

Amazing views!

Very beautiful property with an amazing view.   Staff is friendly and provide great service.

Loved the birdsong from the large balcony.  We saw two red deer in the tea bushes nearby our room. Rain water shower is excellent. WiFi was good. Friendly hospitable staff makes this place great. The Ravana pool club is a youthful experience for another demographic

Well located hotel in Ella

Not sure if I can think of the words to describe how unbelievably spectacular this place is.

From the moment you arrive you are tended to by gracious, friendly, attentive, dutiful staff. They really went out of their way to ensure we were well looked after at all times, and they treated our little boy (coming up to 2yo) in such a friendly and heartwarming way. Clearly the hotel has a warm and family-friendly culture.

The views from our room (and everywhere on the premises) are impossibly beautiful, none more so than from the pool club. The pool club offers stunning vistas overlooking glorious mountains and valleys (ie: the same landscape you would see from Adam’s peak). The hotel is relatively prohibitive in terms of prices for rooms so the guests are typically older (as in, not teenagers on a gap year) but the bar pulls in younger travellers who have climbed the peak. 98 acres caters for this group in a very creative and savvy way by making it more of a young and club vibe, with live DJ set and decor to match the crowd etc. Not to everyone’s taste but it didn’t detract from our experience.

The food is amazing, especially the local cuisine, and despite what other reviews have said, we found the bar and restaurant staff to be thoroughly friendly and lived up to expectations (and beyond).

Although this place doesn’t market itself as a wellness retreat, with the surroundings it boasts, it could well be. Our room didn’t have aircon but the temperature isn’t unbearable thanks to the altitude, so the fan alone sufficed. Overall we could not have enjoyed our time more, and we only wish we were staying a bit longer. We’ll be back!

Thank you, 98 acres, for being a highlight of our time in your beautiful country, and playing host to some cherished memories which we will treasure!

The most incredible place you could imagine

Quiet seclusion awaits you at the 98 Acres resort. The rooms are large with the biggest bed I have stayed in and each features uninterrupted views of the countryside, with Little Adam’s Peak  and Ella rock.
The main reception area, restaurant and bar area were under renovation so we had use of the Ravana Pool. Club. This is where it’s at. It has an energy about it, great food in the restaurant and staff so willing to help with your every request.

Just wow

This hotel is probably one of the best hotels in Ella. It has a super relaxing jacuzzi that’s heated. The food was awesome with breakfast being buffet, and lunch and dinner is a set menu. The rooms have the best view of the Ella Gap and Little Adam’s Peak. Best of all, to go around the resort, you must take a buggy to get around which was awesome. The Flying Ravana Mega Zipline is another classic, with a fun, long zipline to go down. But by far, my favorite place is the Ravana Pool Club, featuring the Flying Ravana Mega Zipline, The jacuzzi, Two Pools, Flying Ravana Adventure Park, and the restaurant. 

Overall, I would definitely recommend this

Best resort in Ella 🇱🇰🇱🇰

A beautifully situated hotel making the most of the site. My wife and I spent a wonderful two days as part of our honeymoon and our only regret is that we couldn't stay longer. We will undoubtedly return here again sometime. I don't know if anywhere in the world it is possible to have a better breakfast in bed than at 98 Acres Resort. A wonderful complement to the whole is the top-notch service. Thank you for an unforgettable time and hope to see you again!
