Villas in Monaragala District

"Ella is a dream and this property was so nice! The whole ambiance is beautiful and calming. They even have a garden on the premises. Our room has a magnificent view great for watching the sunrise. I opted to watch from outside near the garden. It was so magical to watch the Sun rise while listening to the birds serenade in the background and faint Buddhist chants growing gradually louder as the Sun came up! I highly recommend this property for your stay in Ella and wish we could have stayed longer. I almost did not even come to Ella but so glad I took the 7 hour train right to get here from Kandy. Very amazing place!"

"Wow, what an experience. When we pulled up into the camp, there was an elephant just there (a tusker no less). The standards were consistently high from there. We were well looked after by the manager Ravi, with impeccable service throughout. My wife's gluten free requirement being well looked after. The views are stunning, the food was great. At camp we sat and watched birds, and beyond seeing an elephant we saw a leopard just crossing the road outside! Before going to bed... Shine a torch into the canopy overhead, and there was a polecat (civet), desperately climbing away from us! Two days of safari in yala, were two of the best of our lives. Elephants, leopards, bears, birds, jackals, buffalo... Achi (driver) made sure we didn't miss a thing. 10/10, if you love nature, don't hesitate to stay here. One thing to note is the price doesn’t include safari. Top tip - take ear plugs, you really are completely surrounded by nature all the time."

"Awesome experience! Family friendly! Great staff."

"Overall a wonderful stay and would absolutely come again! Beautiful resort with absolutely stunning views and rooms. Spa is fairly priced and excellent. Location very near little Adam’s peak makes for a convenient sunrise walk. Staff all around very good and made the stay welcoming. Some things to be improved: While restaurant food is good, the prices are extortionate and we ended up eating majority of meals in local Ella for a fraction of the price. Due to the size of the resort, transport via buggy is often required and we found this service to be quite inconsistent (especially during periods of rain where everyone in the resort requires a buggy). While the hotel has umbrellas in the room, it would be nice to also get an umbrella if stuck in another location (such as the restaurant) during a downpour. "

"Best breakfast of our trip. Great service. Beautiful view. Couldn't ask for more."

"Wild Coast Tented Lodge is not just a place to stay—it’s a transformative experience. Nestled on the edge of Yala National Park where the jungle meets the Indian Ocean, this eco-luxury resort perfectly marries untamed wilderness with world-class comfort. From the moment you arrive, you’re immersed in a surreal landscape. The architecture is nothing short of breathtaking—cocoon-shaped tents designed to blend seamlessly into the surroundings. The staff are impeccable—gracious, attentive, and deeply knowledgeable about the local wildlife and culture. Dining is a standout, with gourmet Sri Lankan cuisine and international options prepared with locally sourced ingredients. The guided safari experiences into Yala National Park are expertly curated. Led by naturalists who are as passionate as they are professional, the game drives offer thrilling opportunities In every way, Wild Coast Tented Lodge is a rare gem it’s not just a destination, but a journey into the heart of Sri Lanka’s wild and wondrous coast."

"Very nice elevated bungalow in jungle."

"What a beautiful oasis! A super relaxed and peaceful place to stay - staff are excellent. Will definitely come again."

"We had an excellent stay in that property (3nights March 2025) It located on the hill so the views from the balcony are spectacular. Still just a few steps from the center of town. Very good breakfast with lots of options. Exceptional stuff, especially the manager who was very informative, helpful and kind. The only down was the bathroom which I'd say needed some renovations and the noise coming from the construction going on at the front of the hotel but I understand at some point they have to do it. I would definitely recommend this hotel!"
