98 Acres Resort & Spa

Beautiful hotel, staff are helpful & kind, the room was amazing huge bed & bathroom with pure luxury, the most comfortable bed I have ever slept in, amazing views from balcony, food was very good too, they provide a buggy service if you don't like going up steps, all in all fantastic.

The 98 Acres Resort & Spa is simply magnificent! The accommodations are exquisite, the scenery is awe-inspiring, and the staff are consummate professionals! From the instant I stepped in, an indescribable sense of tranquility enveloped me. The young woman who welcomed me radiated warmth and hospitality. The check-in process was efficient, and I was promptly guided to my room.

I had the pleasure of staying at this hotel as part of a recent trip to Sri Lanka - I stayed for two nights and simply could not praise the experience more highly.

Everything about this hotel is wonderful - from the brilliant and friendly staff who provided me with a traditional blessing upon arrival and farewell to the fantastic food and amazing views of the hills, Ella Rock and Little Adam's Peak from the balcony of my fabulous bungalow.

The hotel went above and beyond - even leading us on a pre-dawn walk up Little Adams' Peak to watch the sunrise that was incredible.

This is a fabulous hotel and well worth staying at if you are in Ella!

98acres is truly an amazing experience. Set in the beautiful hills of Ella, everything about this hotel is outstanding, from the warm welcome, the rooms, the service, the food, the staff to the blessing when you leave the hotel - we had an incredible time and hope to be back one day!

98 Acres is truly a beautiful place! I only stayed one night but the experience was amazing. The room and view were amazing, but for me the most memorable part was the Staff. I’ve never been to a place where the welcome immediately made me feel so safe and at peace. During my departure I had that same feel. The receptionist had such a welcoming and calming spirit. Truly would be an amazing experience for anyone traveling to Ella.

We had an absolutely excellent experience at 98 Acres during our honeymoon. We had the pleasure of staying in their Executive Suite, which was stunning—breathtaking views, impeccably maintained, and beautifully designed. The staff were also a delight to interact with. We were fortunate to meet several team members, including butlers Ashan, Devan, and Prasad, all of whom were incredibly helpful and approachable. The food was another highlight—delicious, with a great mix of authentic Sri Lankan and Continental cuisine. Overall, we highly recommend 98 Acres and would love to visit again!

The warm welcome and constant support from the entire team created a comfortable and relaxed environment. The staff made sure that every detail was taken care of, and their kind approach made me feel truly valued as a guest. It was clear that they genuinely cared about providing the best possible experience. The service was excellent, and the staff were very friendly especially Haridaran, who was polite and helpful throughout.

Ella is a bit of a backpacker's destination and  apart from being situated in a wonderful hilly area and at the end of the historic train journey from Kandy, it otherwise probably wouldn't be a destination for empty-nester couples like us. However, the must-do train journey leads you here and 98 Acres is set well above and away from the bustle. We had a quaint room with balcony in a two room, two story lodge; lovely. Our view was of Little Adam's Peak and down the valley which unfolds southward; amazing. Room was well equipped and we didn't miss the lack of AC as it is high and cool by Lanka standards. A short stair climb took us to the restaurant with outside decking area; again wonderful views. The restaurant food was good and all staff attentive and helpful. This hotel was by far the largest on our tour, e.g with a part buffet breakfast, so we didn't get that intimate feeling you get from smaller establishments. That said, all staff were lovely, either by design or accident we tended to have the same lady to guide us through restaurant times which was very much appreciated and the lodges are well spread out amongst well tended gardens, so it had a nice feel to it. If you find yourself needing to stop near Ella, or want to do some gentle or more demanding hiking, we'd recommend staying here.

Location is picturesque!  Stunning views over the tea fields. The rooms are one of a kind, large with great modern decor. The staff are of the highest standard, and no ask is too much, everyone goes out of their way to ensure that every guest is looked after.

The restaurant and food is the best in Ella, and arguably the best in Sri Lanka. After speaking to the Chef, I could tell that he and his team take so much pride in every dish they put on the table for their guests. Every single dish tasted amazing and was presented perfectly. The service staff in the restaurant were also amazing, super attentive and fast, without making their guests feel rushed.

Our favourite was the the bar in the restaurant, the cocktails were like nothing we’ve ever had before (in any country) the bartender that was on most of the time was a gentleman by the name of Lakmal, and I will say that his knowledge of the drinks he was mixing, his attention to detail and his service were second to none! Thank you sir 🙏🏾

I would rate this place 6/5 if I could, a definite MUST VISIT. We will be visiting here again, without a doubt. Thank you to the entire team for such and amazing experience, you are all phenomenal! 🙏🏾❤️

Beautiful hotel with fantastic staff in a stunning setting amongst a tea plantation. The staff were exceptional  and always greeted us warmly . The breakfast was first rate with amazing selection and fresh fruit peeled and cut in front of you 

A great stay

Breathtaking Resort

Amazing experience in the central hills of Sri Lanka

Beautiful

Beautiful! Excellent Staff! Would love to repeat!

The best experience I’ve ever had in Ella.

Wonderful hilly vistas from beautiful individual lodges nestling in tranquil gardens 

😍WOW😍 A MUST VISIT!

Positives: 

Incredible views from the room which made it very special, we stayed in the Honeymoon room which was gorgeous with the bath a great addition. Breakfast was delicious, with a la carte and buffet. Location was great, just a short walk into town and very close to Little Adam’s Peak & Nine Arches bridge. The Sri Lankan treats in the evening turn down were a nice touch. 

Areas of improvement:

Despite being deemed a luxury hotel there were stray dogs all around the hotel, on one night a dog jumped up on me and my partner, grabbed/bit onto my handbag and followed us all the way to the room which was very uncomfortable - the staff were reactive and very apologetic but didn’t have a solution so if you’re not a dog lover this is not the place for you. Another improvement area is the road up to the hotel which hasn’t been paved making for an uncomfortable and bumpy entry to the hotel - when notable investment has evidently been made in the hotel it seems strange to not have a proper driveway.

Stunning view

エグゼクティブスイートに宿泊しました。最高に景色がいい中で、温水プールで子供達とたくさん泳ぎました。

電子レンジと瞬間湯沸かし器、冷蔵庫もあり、とても便利です。

シャワーも強さがあり、快適です。

朝食も美味しく頂きました。スタッフもとても親切です。子供達とも遊んでくれて助かりました。

また行きたい場所です。

I stayed in an Executive Suite. We swam a lot in the heated pool with the children, surrounded by an amazing view.

The room was very convenient, equipped with a microwave, an instant water heater, and a refrigerator.

The shower had strong water pressure and was very comfortable.

We also enjoyed a delicious breakfast. The staff were very kind and even played with the children, which was a big help.

It’s a place we definitely want to visit again.

最高の体験　An amazing experience

We stayed in some nice places in Sri Lanka on our honeymoon but 98 acres definitely comes out on top. The location and view is incredible, breakfast every morning from the top was truly special and we couldn’t get enough of our view from our room. They really went out of their way to make the 2 nights we spent there special including letting us take part in an earth day tree planting event as well as blessing us with one of their local traditional newlywed ceremonies. Further the location is perfect if you want to do any of the local hikes up Ella rock or Adam’s peak and it’s just a short ride into town. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a truly special place!
