"Amazing place. Can’t fault a single thing. We stayed in a two bedroom suite and it was amazing. Staffs are very polite and helpful. Always ready to help with a buggy. Spa was amazing in a very scenic set up. Secluded yet just a few mins drive to main city centre. Pool area is nice but the pool is rather small. Breakfast is very good, made to order. Complimentary guided trek to little Adams peak just behind the resort. They gave discount vouchers for Ravana pool club and zip lining but we didn’t have time to try. Overall fully recommend."

"Staff were incredibly helpful warm and welcoming. The views were amazing from our room; from welcome area and pool area. Definitely recommend this place. The room was spacious and clean. Location was 1 km from ella so approx 500 SR to get to town (uphill!) but an easy walk ( downhill ) to get back !!"

Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Kalabululanda?

The main street, Ella-Passara Road, is lined with guesthouses, cafes, and small shops. It's a great base for exploring local sights like Little Adam's Peak and the Nine Arch Bridge, both easily accessible on foot.For couples, Ella provides a romantic setting with its scenic hikes and opportunities for quiet evenings enjoying the views from hillside accommodations. The area is well-suited for those who appreciate natural beauty and a laid-back pace.Nuwara Eliya, often called "Little England," offers a different experience with its historic architecture, tea plantations, and cooler climate. The town centre features landmarks like the historic Grand Hotel and Victoria Park. It's an excellent choice for those interested in the tea industry, with many estates offering tours and tastings.Families often find Nuwara Eliya appealing due to its spacious parks, boat rides on Lake Gregory, and the opportunity to visit a working tea factory, which can be an educational experience for children.

When is the best time to go to Kalabululanda?

The best time to visit Kalabululanda is during the dry season, which runs from December to March and again from June to September.During these months, you'll experience less rainfall and plenty of sunshine, making it ideal for exploring the tea plantations and enjoying the outdoor activities Kalabululanda is known for. The temperatures are generally pleasant, typically ranging from 20°C to 28°C, which is comfortable for sightseeing and hiking.Couples looking for a relaxing and scenic getaway will find December to March particularly appealing. The landscape is lush after the monsoon, and the cooler, drier air makes for great conditions to enjoy walks through the tea estates, visit the waterfalls, and simply unwind in the serene surroundings. It's also a great time for photography, with clear skies enhancing the natural beauty.For families with older children who enjoy outdoor adventures, the June to September period is excellent. While there might be an occasional shower, the weather is generally dry and warm enough for activities like trekking to viewpoints or exploring the local villages.
