Mistara Ella

Fourteen rooms across a former tea estate bungalow on Rathnagiri Estate Road, Mistara Ella holds one of the higher ridgeline positions above Ella town, with unobstructed sightlines toward Little Adam's Peak and the Ella Gap valley below.

Rooms retain plantation-era proportions — high ceilings, wide verandas — while bathrooms have been updated. The property's elevation means mornings are noticeably cooler than Ella's main strip, and cloud cover frequently rolls through before 07:00.

Ella Rock trailhead sits roughly twenty minutes on foot; the Ella train station, one of the most photographed rail stops in Sri Lanka, is a fifteen-minute walk downhill. With 24 reviews averaging 9.6, the guest record is small but consistent.
