The hotel is close to the spice gardens around Ella, Little Adam's Peak and the Nine Arches Bridge at Demodara. You can also hike Ella Rock or visit Ravana Falls.
Good to know
Ella is on the hill country railway; the Nanu Oya to Badulla section has been running since June 2026. Ella town gets busy in the main season, so book ahead, and bring a light jacket for cool evenings.

How to Get There
You will find Ella Soul Resort in Ella, a short walk from the town centre. The drive from Bandaranaike International Airport covers roughly 210 km and takes 6 hours or so, travelling through Ratnapura, Balangoda and Haputale, or on the longer but faster route via the Southern Expressway and Wellawaya.
From central Colombo the journey is about 200 km and takes about 5 hours 45 minutes.
As of October 2026 the hill country line is closed between Kandy and Nanu Oya after Cyclone Ditwah, so the trip from Colombo is by road. Trains do run between Nanu Oya, Ella and Badulla if you are coming from elsewhere in the hills.
We can book a private air conditioned transfer from the airport or anywhere in Colombo, and the driver can stay with you for the rest of your holiday if you wish. Allow extra time at weekends and on public holidays, when the roads out of Colombo are busier.
