Ella, Hill Country

98 Acres Resort & Spa

Stone bungalows on a working tea estate facing Ella Rock.

Our verdict

98 Acres is the most-photographed luxury hotel in Ella — stone-and-timber chalets scattered across a working tea estate with uninterrupted Ella Rock views. The infinity pool is the visual signature, the room sizes are generous, and breakfast is on the cliff edge. Not as refined as Tea Trails, but the best non-Resplendent option in the hill country.

You'll love

  • Direct Ella Rock views from every chalet
  • Working tea estate setting
  • Cliff-edge infinity pool and breakfast deck
