White Elephant
About
White Elephant is a local business in Sri Lanka. The hotel sits in Ella, a hill-country town, and it is known as a place to stay in that part of the island.
First-time visitors should expect a hotel base in Ella rather than a coastal resort, with five photos on the listing. Guests rate White Elephant 4.7 out of 5 from 57 reviews, a strong showing for a small property. Reaching it from the main resorts or towns on the island is feasible because Ella lies on the hill-country route that also serves Kandy, while Colombo, Galle, Negombo and Mirissa sit on other lines across the island.
Sinhala and Tamil are the official languages of Sri Lanka, and English is widely used in administration and tourism, so communication is rarely a problem. Theravada Buddhism is the main religion, and full-moon Poya days are public holidays, which can affect opening times and travel plans. Sri Lanka has a tropical climate, with two monsoon systems bringing rain to different coasts at different times, so the weather in Ella can differ from the beaches. The country was known as Ceylon until 1972, gained independence in 1948, and has ancient cities at Anuradhapura and Polonnaruwa.
