Smoking friendly holiday rentals in Ella

The setting is absolutely stunning, providing an ideal environment to relax and reconnect with nature. However, December experiences frequent rainfall and significantly cooler late-night temperatures, so it's advisable to inform the host beforehand to prepare the fireplace and arrange for dry wood during the rainy season. The on-site assistance was exceptionally friendly and accommodating, always available whenever we needed help. Kudos to the bungalow manager for doing a fantastic job. We're definitely planning to return to this incredible place.

The view from this place is absolutely spectacular, even at night when you can see the illuminated Buddhist temple opposite the balcony. The house is well-equipped with everything you need. The personnel is extremely helpful and will help you with everything from breakfast to dinner and laundry service as well as sightseeing advice.

Beautiful view and very nice staff. Breakfast was really good and fresh, definitely recommend the curry and milk rice. The treehouse is a bit outside of the city center, requires 1 or 2 tuk tuk to get up to the retreat (the second of which is steep and bumpy, so only the most stilled tuk tuk drivers can master it). However, the staff organised tuk tuk for us each time we came and went free of charge and it was always on time when given 10 minutes notice. Recommend this place for a unique and unforgettable stay in Ella.

Bola was an amazing host at the Villa. He sent a driver to pick us up when we arrived and made us dinner at the villa! He gave us some helpful tips, was very attentive, and even drove us to our next destination. I will definitely stay here if I return to Ella! 10/10 recommendation:)

Nous avons passé un excellent séjour ici. Les hôtes ont été d'une gentillesse incroyable avec nous. Nous avons très bien mangé et dormi dans ce logement. Si vous souhaitez un endroit paisible avec une superbe vue, proche des départs de rando pour le Ella Rock ou d'une cascade alors c'est le bon endroit 👍🏻 Vous avez également la possibilité d'effectuer une lessive sur demande. Par ailleurs si vous allez à Ella depuis Kandy, n'hésitez pas à vous arrêter à l'arrêt Kitha Ella juste avant Ella pour arriver au pied du logement 😉

dit is het beste verblijf wat we tot nu toe gehad hebben! ik kom in December terug in Sri Lanka, als wenaar Elle gaan dan ga ik hier weer heen! wat en vriendelijke mensen die werkelijk alles voor je doen! ze geven advies met wat je allemaal kunt doen en ze brengen je overal naar toe en ook nog met een dikke lach en met leuke gesprekken in de tussentijd. het is dan ik maar 5 sterren kan geven anders waren het er echt veel en veel meer geweest! bedankt voor de geweldige ervaring bij jullie verblijf, dikke aanrader voor iedereen die naar Ella gaat!

We had the most wonderful week at Shambala Retreat in Sri Lanka. The house is absolutely beautiful, with breathtaking views that we enjoyed every single day. What made the experience even more special was the incredibly kind and talented cook, as well as the warm and welcoming host, Rumesh. The food was delicious, the atmosphere peaceful, and the surroundings truly stunning. We felt completely at home and left with full hearts. We highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a peaceful and beautiful retreat, it was simply perfect!

Incredibly kind host family. They were always helpful, gave us a ride into town and organized a scooter for us. We used the home stay to explore the Ella region. While Ella is super touristy, the town of the Airbnb is very genuine and we loved the hustle and bustle. It is a separate apartment with a separate entrance. You’ll have everything you need including 2 bedrooms, 2 new bathrooms, a fully equipped kitchen, a living room and terrace overlooking the property.

This is a uniquely beautiful accommodation. It is set back from the road, immersed in nature. You can hear the frogs at night and birdsongs all day. It’s lovely and relaxing. The staff were so helpful throughout and met us with umbrellas when we checked in. The bathroom is so unique with a shower surrounded by stones, plenty of hot water, and everything works well. We were able to have dinner one night and this was truly an amazing meal of local cuisine, artfully prepared! Breakfast was equally lovely. The only issue with the accommodation was mosquitoes in the smaller bedroom because of openings to the outdoors. But using the ceiling fan and the bed net provided, solved that issue. I would highly recommend this lovely accommodation and make sure to eat here as well!
