Dining room had great views and the food was sublime . Staff extremely friendly and competent. Thoroughly enjoyed the yoga class and the spa treatments too.

“Outstanding hotel in a stunning location with exceptional service”

This is a truly exceptional place. We loved almost everything about our stay and in particular: - the quality and comfort of the bungalow was outstanding - by far the best build quality / interior of all the places we have stayed in Sri Lanka. - the bed was supremely comfortable - the best shower either of have ever experienced anywhere - the view from the balcony is mind blowing - the staff are amazing and went out of their way on numerous occasions to help us - the quality of the gym is exceptional - breakfast was excellent - we enjoyed the yoga sessions - we liked that the hotel has a non smoking policy and a non alcohol policy, which fits with their wellness focus - we liked that they grow their own (organic) vegetables and clearly take a lot of pride in using fresh in their food - espresso machine as well as tea in the room - the walk around the outside of the estate offers outstanding views from an easy, well-made track. Others have said it is difficult to reach by road. It is true it is 40 minutes drive from Ella and the last 20 minutes is up a steep and often narrow road. But we went up and down it repeatedly in a tuk tuk without any problems. Reception were helpful in ordering those for us when we needed to go from the resort, as it is hard to get them booked via the Pick Me app. Other reviews complain about the cost of breakfast. It isn’t necessary to pay $30. You can just pay for what you have and we thought the prices were very reasonable. Most dishes are only about £4.

“Great spot for a once in a lifetime hills stay but one or two nights max”

Unbelievable serenity and peacefulness once you get there. Amazing staff including the male massage who was amazing and fixed my husbands back

“Beautiful place with amazing views”

Beautiful location, great facilities, amazing views, great staff, lovely food. Lovely balcony and comfortable rooms (minus the temp upstairs and the blinds, see below).

“Heaven on earth”

Food was excellent with service to match. The location is amazing. Watching the sunrise over the mountains in the morning was very special. I can't exaggerate how much we liked this Anasa. There are very few places that I'd like to return to and this is one of them. I also had one of the best massages I've ever had. Thanks to everyone there.

Don’t let the remoteness put you off this amazing restaurant and hotel. My husband and I are foodies and have had some amazing meals but this place was truly exceptional and I think we will be reminiscing about the food and experience for a long time to come. The setting is fabulous inside the tea plantations and the chalets are stunning; watching sunrise on the balcony across the tea plantations was a real delight. All the staff were awesome and couldn’t do enough, all of them were so kind. Finally the spa is great with great quality facilities and treatments, yoga was also fantastic. Thank you so much for such an unforgettable experience.

“Short stay - nice view but pricey food”

The room was incredible and the facilities great.

“Not worthy”

Average quality food and reception staff forgot to give passport back

“Would come back to Sri Lanka only for this place”

- service - staff - activities - food

“Paradise in the Sri Lankan mountains”

Anasa Wellness Resort Google review summary 4.8 148 reviews 5 ★ 4 ★ 3 ★ 2 ★ 1 ★ Reviews on other travel sites  Tripadvisor 4.8/5 · 63 reviews Reviews Imogen Hope-Mandla5/512 hours ago on  Google Pictures don't do Anasa justice. It is the most beautiful hotel we stayed at on our Sri Lankan honeymoon - everything is absolutely flawless. From the breathtaking views over the mountains, to the incredible facilities, to the gorgeous food (most of which is grown from their own vegetable and herb garden), to the WONDERFUL staff who are all so warm and welcoming. We can't recommend it more highly - being here feels very good for the soul. It's a place that's very hard to leave. Although it's about 30min drive outside Ella, we still found it easy to organise a taxi to see Nine Arch bridge, tour a tea estate and have dinner in town. Don't let the distance put you off - the remoteness of Anasa is part of its magic, as is the focus on not serving alcohol! Special thanks to Dylan, Ishaaq and Ahila for taking such good care of us (and for organising a honeymoon cake for us!). And to Paul & Lakshutha for the cooking class which we'd highly recommend to anyone staying here in future.

“A peaceful stay in Ella but 42 min from center”

Resort is simply fantastic. Super compfortable bed, super clean room, stuff amazing.

“Amazing facilities, staff and food. Pity about the extra costs and the road to access the property.”

The facilities. The Staff. The View. The food. The Yoga.

Great retreat in fantastic valley with tea plantation

“Great place to get away from everything”

High quality

“Absolute heavenly place - the best staff in the world - Amaxing”

Everything - what a place. Stunning location, beautiful food, fantastic facilities, so comfortable and the kindest and most well trained staff. Wonderful stay. Nothing is too much trouble and the staff go out of their way to make sure you are happy. We absolutely loved it - played squash, tennis, took yoga classes, swam and relaxed. I would go back tomorrow!

“Stunning resort, a very special place with extremely good food. Deserves a Michelin star!”

How remote it is, how beautiful the room was, but mostly the INCREDIBLE food and highly attentive service.

The property and the hospitality i can assure that whoever will come to this place will have aa his heart over here only what an amazing place what a stay cant describe in words

“A trip of a lifetime! We loved every second of our stay!”

The facilities are amazing! We were so impressed by the gym and the activities on site. The staff couldn’t do more for us if they tried, they simply made the experience outstanding. We did a cooking class on site and i highly recommend to try it! AND the food was out of this world! Everything is made fresh and produce is farmed on site! The chef’s went out of their way to made a Sri Lankan desert we mentioned we liked and the ice cream is homemade!!!! Unreal!
