The Hideaway Ella
About
On Sri Lanka, The Hideaway Ella is a hotel at The Hideaway Ella Makulella, Ella 90900, in the hill country. It is known for its setting in Ella, a town the island's railway line runs through on the celebrated route from Kandy.
First-time visitors should expect a hill-country stay rather than a coastal one, with cooler, wetter conditions than the plains. The property's own site, http://thehideawayella.com/, is the direct reference for planning a visit. A 4.2 out of 5 average across 119 reviews reflects a steady flow of guests.
Reaching Ella is straightforward by rail, since Sri Lanka has an extensive network and the Kandy to Ella line is popular with visitors. The town also sits within reach of Colombo, Galle, Kandy, Negombo, Bentota, Mirissa, Unawatuna and Arugam Bay by road.
Sri Lankan meals centre on rice and curry, with hoppers, string hoppers and kottu roti as everyday dishes, so there is plenty to try locally. The southwest and west coasts are driest from December to March, while the east coast is best from May to September, which helps in timing a wider trip around a hill-country stay.
