For sensational views, look no further than 98 Acres Resort in Ella. This 28-room eco-resort sits high above the hill town with glorious vistas across the plantations and mountains and, on a clear day, views all the way to the southern lakes of Tissamaharama. Ella is a fantastic location for hiking, with popular routes including Ella Rock and Little Adam’s Peak.

Each room at 98 Acres Resort is built into the side of the hill to take advantage of the hotel’s extraordinary setting. Stone exteriors give way to generous interiors with dark wood floors, light walls, high ceilings, and floor-to-ceiling windows. Some rooms have an outdoor balcony with seating or terrace with private infinity pool. The Honeymoon Deluxe Rooms are a highlight, each with an additional living area and bathtub overlooking the mountains.

International and local cuisine is served at 98 Acres, including speciality teas from the neighbouring factory. There is an infinity swimming pool with extraordinary views and dedicated children’s area, or guests can spend their days mountain biking or going on guided hikes along nearby trails.
