This property has a very unique location in the mountains, away from the turysty crowds with amazing views surrounding you. The place is extremely clean and well equipped with a desk, open shelving, kettle, tea, coffee, etc. The breakfast was delicious, served on time with a smile and a lot of attention. The property is away from town but provides complementary tuk tuk service to town which we found extremely helpful.

If you're lucky enough to find this place available, book it! This has been our favourite place we have stayed in all of Sri Lanka. Right from when we arrived and the staff helped us off the bus, until when we left when they packed a takeaway lunch and helped to get us to the station for our 06.30 am train. The breakfast was absolutely amazing, so much fresh fruit! And the snacks and tea and coffees we were offered everytime we came home was such fantastic hospitality. We really felt like part of the family here, and every question we had from renting scooters it getting into town was sorted out by the staff. Couldn't believe the standard of the room for the cost we paid. If we ever come back to Ella we will absolutely be staying here. Thankyou so much

We loved our stay at Ella Blue Heaven. The views are amazing and it’s a very peaceful and relaxing place to be. The room was really comfortable and clean and we had a lovely breakfast everyday. The host is super helpful and very hospitable. There is just one single track/road that goes from the main road in Ella down to the apartment, it takes around 10mins in a tuk tuk.

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! 🙏❤️

Sri Lankan Breakfast. Brilliant location. 5 minute walk into main town and train station along the train tracks. Very clean, spacious room. Beautiful view of Ella rock and the valley below. Friendly owners, one is a guide for Ella rock and considerably cheaper than online prices.
