"We stayed at this amazing property for 3 days as a group of four and had a wonderful experience. The mountain views from our room were stunning, and the staff were warm, welcoming, and helpful. The breakfast buffet had limited spread, but everything was delicious. The approach road can be a bit tricky, with a steep, narrow downhill stretch that accommodates only one car at a time. Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend this property!"

Top Kalabululanda Hotel Reviews

Onrock Boutique Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"I love this hotel! The staff were so helpful and amazing especially with our rented tuk tuk! Everyone was lovely and so kind! I cannot recommend this hotel enough!"

Misty Hills Ella Resort

10/10 Excellent

"We loved our stay at Misty hills. The view was incredible, the staff so helpful and delicious breakfasts with an egg and omelette bar included. The room was cleaned each day with a balcony view out into the hills that stunned us every time we looked out. It was a good location - 15 minute walk into the centre, however they also organised hiring a scooter for us for our 2 days which we would recommend to anyone wanting to explore the wider bits Ella has to offer. The property is slightly rough and ready compared to the photos but this did NOT take away anything from the experience of our stay. The view made it one of the best spots we stayed in. We highly recommend Misty Hills to anyone wanting the best view Ella has to offer."

Araliya Green City - Your Gateway to Everything in Nuwara Eliya

10/10 Excellent

"A lovely five-star hotel in a convenient location, with a food court, mini-mart, and small shopping area right next door. It is also just a short distance from town. The hotel is surrounded by beautiful gardens, with a stupa situated across the road, adding to the peaceful surroundings. The rooms are spacious, modern, and beautifully designed, with very comfortable beds. The staff are outstanding — attentive, courteous, and friendly, with an excellent eye for detail. Their warm hospitality truly enhances the overall experience. Both the dinner buffet and breakfast were excellent, offering a wonderful dining experience. Overall, a beautiful hotel with excellent facilities, delicious food, and exceptional service. Highly recommended for a comfortable and enjoyable stay!"

Serenus Boutique Villa

8/10 Good

"Decent property or a short stay. The dining experience was good. Close to Nuwara Eliya town centre but not walkable. Considering the fact the area is a hill station with cold/colder weather conditions, the room(s) need a better heating setup that can make the visitors feel comfortable inside the room."

Ella Flower Garden Resort

10/10 Excellent

"An ideal hotel for exploring Ella , the hotel is conveniently situated close to Adams Peak trail and The Nine Arches Bridge . The breakfast room has panoramic views Of the mountains . We were greeted with a cup of tea on arrival . The staff ate all so helpful. Food was excellent and a great choice too ."

Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Kalabululanda?

The best area to stay in Kalabululanda is the Central Highlands, particularly around the towns of Ella and Nuwara Eliya.

Ella is a popular spot for its relaxed atmosphere and stunning views of the Ella Gap. 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.
