Facilities & Activities
Ella is an ideal location for active adventure. You can hike straight from the hotel to Little Adam’s Peak or the famous Nine Arches Bridge – one of Sri Lanka’s most photographed landmarks! Explore the estate’s walking trails, or hop on a mountain bike for a scenic ride through the rolling hills. For thrill-seekers, the resort’s own Flying Ravana zip line offers an unforgettable rush as you soar across the valley.
Back at the hotel, reward yourself with a relaxing dip in the infinity pool, unwind with a traditional treatment at the spa or take a yoga class surrounded by lush tea fields.

Dining
98 Acres Cafe & Restaurant serves up a tempting mix of Sri Lankan and international dishes made with locally sourced ingredients – think fragrant curries, garden-fresh salads and grilled specialities, enjoyed against the backdrop of sweeping mountain vistas.
For something lighter, you can relax with a pot of Ceylon tea or a refreshing cocktail at the Bar 98 Lounge, as the sun sets over Ella Gap.
Rooms
The accommodation has been built from reclaimed materials with an eco-friendly design. Perched on the hillside, each chalet-style villa enjoys wonderful views over Ella Gap and the rolling tea estates below.
Rooms range from Deluxe and Premier Deluxe Rooms with private terraces and outdoor rain showers to Suites , some featuring plunge pools, freestanding tubs and panoramic glass-fronted balconies.
Family
98 Acres Resort & Spa may be peaceful and tranquil but it’s also a fantastic spot for families who love nature and adventure. The resort’s open spaces and trails are perfect for exploring together, while nearby hikes to Little Adam’s Peak and the Nine Arches Bridge are fun and manageable for families. Adventurous kids (and grown-ups!) will love the zip-line, a thrilling way to soak up the scenery!
Spacious villas, including a new Two Bedroom Suite , are ideal for families or small groups, featuring two stylish en-suite bedrooms, a living area and fully equipped kitchen.
Sustainability
The resort’s design and construction places an emphasis on using eco-friendly materials such as locally sourced timber and recycled building materials where possible. Natural features are integrated in the design to reduce energy demand, such as the thatched straw roofs which help maintain a cooler interior temperature.
Location
98 Acres Resort & Spa is in Ella, a charming Hill Country town located 200km east of Colombo. The drive time is approx. 5-6 hours from the airport but we suggest including a stay here as part of a multi-destination Sri Lanka itinerary, perhaps after a few nights on the East Coast before heading south to Yala National Park.
