Arawe is a beautifully designed retreat surrounded by a peaceful oasis of rice fields. The in-house breakfast and dinner surpassed the quality of nearby restaurants. Its convenient location, just a few minutes' walk from downtown Ella, offers a scenic pathway through hilly tea plantations. The highlight was the spacious deck with hammock floors, where we enjoyed lush green views. An added bonus was the opportunity to learn about the social projects led by Arawe Retreat, supporting local farmers and empowering women through macrame crafts. The apartment's boho flair with displayed goods adds a unique touch. We highly recommend this place (for solo travelers, couples, and families)!

The views from our balcony were stunning, the sunrise and mountains are breathtaking. The staff are super friendly and helpful, they even prepared an early breakfast for us as we had to check out earlier than usual (my daughter loved the sandwiches they have prepared). Am not sure how does the other rooms look like but try to book the room where the bed is up stairs and has a balcony and a jacuzzi.

This place was amazing! The location is great—tucked up on a hill, so you’ll need a car or tuk-tuk to get around easily. The breakfast was absolutely delicious, and the staff were incredibly attentive and kind. The room has a fridge which is nice. The only small downside was that the shower could use a bit more water pressure. But the real highlight is the breathtaking view—truly unforgettable. Highly recommended!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Miracle View. The cottage is spacious, comfortable, and very clean, with lovely beds and a great shower. Waking up with the truly stunning view each morning was a joy. The host is incredibly friendly and helpful. Every morning, a generous and varied breakfast was served, with something different each day. A real luxury to start the day. The house is located on top of a hill, which gives you those amazing views. It’s quite a challenging climb on foot, but the host was always happy to pick us up, even when we had our own tuk-tuk. For trips to the center, he also arranged a reliable tuk-tuk taxi without any trouble. All in all, a wonderful place to stay with a warm welcome, great facilities, and service that truly stands out. We would definitely come back.

Looking for a lodge?

The Spice Lodge is a special place located within walking distance to Ella center. The family that runs the lodge are the kindest, most helpful people. The breakfast was delicious, and the dinner we had was the best curry we had on our trip. Highly recommended lodging.
