Sometimes luxury boutique is found in the unexpected. Perched on a working 98-acre tea estate, 98 Acres Resort & Spa delivers one of Ella’s most striking boutique-luxury experiences. Villas stretch across the hillside with sweeping views of Little Adam’s Peak and the emerald-green valley below.

What makes this place unforgettable is its unique design: recycled railway sleepers repurposed into stylish interiors, open spaces that flow with the landscape, and a private tram that drops you right onto the Little Adam’s Peak trail. It’s rare to find such seamless access to nature paired with luxury.

The resort offers villa-style rooms with private balconies, spacious bathrooms, and elegant furnishings. Some come with panoramic mountain views, and all include thoughtful amenities like kitchenettes, dining areas, and flat-screen TVs. Free Wi-Fi is available throughout, though most guests agree the real highlight is unplugging on your terrace.

There’s an infinity pool and a spa that elevate the experience further, perfect after a day of hiking or zip-lining.

Good to know: The resort’s interiors incorporate vintage sleepers from Sri Lanka’s old railway lines, turning pieces of the island’s history into modern design elements.
