Immersion in charm and calm
It doesn't get better. Your own chef personally making you whatever you want for breakfast. Zen setting, super friendly staff. The property has been in the same family hands for well over a hundred years. Back to nature experience in a rice paddy and forest setting a very short distance to the hustle and bustle of Ella. Property owner is a great guy who has a vision on improving the lives of those less fortunate and has undertaking a number of community based projects which are game changing for those inviolved. That spirit of genoristy and kindness seems to reside in the soul of this place. A very special experience that will stay with you for some time.
Nothing. Special place and beautifal stay experience

A beautiful stay in a beautiful place.
The property was beautiful, tucked away but not far from everything you need in Ella. The owner and the staff were amazing and went above and beyond to ensure our stay was perfect, and finally the food was just incredible in a stunning setting. Could not recommend this place highly enough.
The only downside is no proper AC in the rooms! But we did visit during some of the hottest weather, so in normal times this may not be an issue.

Amazing Jungle Stay
Amazing escape in the jungle. The staff are amazing and ho above and beyond while being friendly and helpful. Would recommend their onside yoga, it is perfect. The two days Badar and Manakin are so friendly and gentle. They followed out two boys everywhere and kept them safe while playing in the jungle.

Special place in beautiful nature
Very peaceful, great host, wonderful view into nature. Something special a few minutes outside and away of the Ella town buzz. We and our kids loved it!
Quite close to a street, so you will wake up to some Tuk-tuks running up the hill in the morning. Not too bad, but noteworthy.

Incredible nature retreat!! We loved every minute!!
Incredible eco design made you feel relaxed and at one with nature! The views of mountains and tea hills stretched for miles, and at night you can hear all kinds of animals and admire the fireflies / sky full of stars. Absolutely beautiful! Our host was so kind and attentive, checking in on us daily. It is clear he has a passion for living harmoniously and assisting others. This is reflected in his retreat and other projects. All staff were friendly and helpful. The breakfasts were amazing!! We loved our stay here, thank you!

the best stay in Ella, everything was perfect; hosts, location, property, setting, staff
EVERYTHING. this was our favourite place we’ve stayed in Sri Lanka. Ishanka was a great host. the property is BEAUTIFUL, photos do not do it justice. we got upgraded to their new villa; they have seriously thought about every detail; the outdoor shower, the open bathroom with open windows, the veranda with hammock (we chilled there for ages) the breakfast was so yummyyy… get the smoothie bowl 👌👌👌.. and the staff were all so helpful and friendly. pasty you’re walking distance to Ella town, so it’s the perfect place to base yourself in Ella.
nothing… actually maybe that we didn’t have time to stay longer.

Beautifully designed place surrounded by green fields, offering delicious in-house meals, convenient location, stunning
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)!

Exceeded our expectations, a one off.
Arawe is a unique property that brings the outside in. Best hot water in Sri Lanka! Amazing rustic charm, super comfortable bed, the bathroom is beautiful! Breakfast prepared for you fresh every morning looking out over the most incredible views. A nature lovers paradise. Resident German Shepherd Banda, a real softie too. Ishanka has done wonders here, passionate about his retreat. Arawe is something a little bit different from the regular hotel/bed and breakfast, there is so much more to it, you won’t be disappointed.
