"I have stayed in many hotels around the world and Wishing Tree Boutique and Resort ranks right at the top. The views are unreal and impossible to recreate. Waking up to that scenery alone makes the stay special. The staff are outstanding. Warm, welcoming and genuinely happy. Service was spot on throughout, attentive when needed but never intrusive. They struck the perfect balance and gave great local recommendations without ever being pushy. A special mention to Sampath, the manager, who is...

"+++ Absolutely magnificent place with a wonderful history. The wooden features are beautiful and the bedrooms are outstanding. Wonderful snooker table and fireplaces. Lovely garden where you can sit and enjoy afternoon tea. The staff, especially Sameera, were absolutely excellent- they couldn’t do enough for us. Thank you again Sameera, we will hopefully see you again one day! - Only slight negative is that it could have more photographs of the historical figures or building itself going up the...

"Our stay at Te Dalu was exceptional. We loved that the hotel was located a little outside of Ella proper, which allowed for connection with the beautiful environment and scenery while still being convenient to the amenities of the main town. Our room faced the hillside and had a wonderful view of the temple on the hill, and in the morning with opening the balcony doors allowed us to listen to chants and the sounds of birds and monkeys while waking up. The hotel itself has lovely, large rooms and...

"This could be something so special. The location itself is amazing and the accommodation for ‘camping’ is incredible. The service wasn’t great however. As kind as everyone was the timings were very off. Being told we needed to be ready for breakfast at 8 and not being served till 9.30. The same for dinner. We also told them we needed to leave on the final day at 7.30 so wanted breakfast at 7. We arrived at the breakfast tent at 7 and no one was there. Unfortunately it was the same for the...

"Sehr schönes Hotel in einer alten Teefabrik. Herausragend war die Freundlichkeit des Personals. Das Essen war herrvorragend und die Zimmer sehr sauber. Wir bekamen eine Führung in der Teefabrik wo uns der Teeprozess erklärt und gezeigt wurde. Auch eine Wanderung wurde angeboten. Alles in allem nur zu empfehlen!! Bei der Hinfahrt ist es besser nach dem Weg zu fragen. Google maps führt woanders hin. "

"This small and charming hotel sits high upon the hill, overlooking a nearby village and the Oliphant Tea Factory. It's a quiet location, with stunning rooms - which is a welcome change if you're staying mostly in guest houses or big resorts. The staff goes out of their way to make sure everything is perfect, and the sounds and smells of nature were great - if you like the sound of birds chirping, this is a place for you. There's one tree with tons of them (they said 1,000 but I couldn't wrap my...

Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Maha Eliya?
The best area to stay in Maha Eliya is Nuwara Eliya Town, which offers convenient access to the region's main attractions and a comfortable base for exploring the surrounding tea country.

Nuwara Eliya Town is the central hub of Maha Eliya. It features historic-era architecture, well-maintained gardens like Victoria Park, and a central market for local goods. The town is laid out with a main road, Badulla Road, running through it, with most amenities clustered around the Grand Hotel and the racecourse.

Couples often find Nuwara Eliya Town a relaxing place to stay. They can enjoy leisurely walks through the park, visit the nearby Hakgala Botanical Garden, or take a scenic boat ride on Lake Gregory. The town also offers a selection of quality restaurants for dining experiences.

For travelers looking for a more secluded experience with direct access to tea plantations, staying slightly outside Nuwara Eliya Town, in areas like Kandapola or close to Labookellie, is an excellent option. These locations offer hotels and bungalows located amidst rolling tea estates, providing stunning views and a tranquil environment.
When is the best time to go to Maha Eliya?
The best time to go to Maha Eliya is during the dry season, from December to March, and again from June to September, when the weather is most pleasant for exploring.

During these months, Maha Eliya experiences less rainfall and cooler temperatures, making it ideal for outdoor activities like hiking and visiting tea plantations. The clear skies offer excellent views of the surrounding hills and valleys, which is particularly appealing for couples seeking scenic walks and photography opportunities.

Conversely, the inter-monsoon periods, especially April-May and October-November, can bring heavier rainfall. While the landscape appears lush during these times, some outdoor plans might be affected by the weather.
Can I cancel my hotel reservation on Expedia?
You can cancel your hotel reservation on Expedia, though it depends on the cancellation policy of your booking. Most bookings are refundable if canceled within 24-48 hours of the scheduled arrival. Be sure to check your booking confirmation for the exact cancellation policy. If free cancellation is available, you can cancel directly through your Expedia account by logging in, going to "My Trips", and selecting your reservation.
