Hotels in Nuwara Eliya from P1,002 for 2026 - Fully Refundable Options - Expedia.com.ph

The road from Kandy to Nuwara Eliya is full of turns, deceptively long and passes some of the largest tea plantations in the world. Truth be told, driving anywhere in the hill country of Sri Lanka is an exercise in patience given that even short distances can take hours due to slow moving traffic, poor weather or less than desirable roads.

Better then to sit back and enjoy the ride while stopping for the occasional picture. (as we did for this cloudy sunset)

"先日利用させていただきました。ヌワラエリアから少し奥まったところに位置しますが、空気や景色は最高でした。自分達で、野菜やハーブも育てておられ、整備された畑も素晴らしかったです。翌朝には施設や畑を従業員のお兄さんが案内してくれて、自分達で描いた壁の絵や景色と共に、写真撮影もしてくれました。朝に淹れてくれたミルクティーとても美味しかったです。また訪れた際は利用させていただきます。ありがとうございました。"

"It was a bit far from the downtown area. But not an issue for us because we have a driver. They have driver's room, but not at the same place. It was one of the best stay for us in the 2 weeks trip. Highly recommend it. The only downside is the hotel is a bit hard to locate. Its up on the hill with a very narrow street. It was quite a challenge when we had a mini van to drive up the alley. "

A beautiful train journey through the rolling hills of Sri Lanka's enormous tea plantations. I took this train ride from Nuwara Eliya to Ella which took about 3 hours, and less than 300 rupees- third class is worth the mild discomfort for the people you meet. And Ella is definitely worth a trip- stunning views and hikes up to Ella Rock and Little Adams Peak.

"10-15 minutes to walk to the centre of town. Nice rooms. Great breakfast. Nice staff. "

Luxe Wilderness

Luxe Wilderness

10/10 Excellent

"Thanks to Villam, Sanjaya and the team. This is a great little sanctuary nestled just off the main road as you head into town from Kandy. Clear directions provided prior to arrival, quick check-in and warm welcome provided. The 2 story villa is cosy and comfortable with all necessary amenities provided including coffee machine, microwave, fridge, usb speaker, sofa, dining table, crockery and cutlery. The bathroom has a wow factor and the beds were super comfortable. We stayed as a family of 4 and definitely big enough for us. Last of all, what a spread for the breakfast delivered in the morning (photo provided)! Highly recommend Luxe Wilderness. 🙌 P.S. if you have a driver, they can help out with cheap accommodation close by. "
