“The perfect getaway.”

We stayed at Villa Le Maas Tota for two nights, and it was an incredible experience from start to finish. The service was exceptional, the villa was spotless, and the views were absolutely stunning. The peaceful and tranquil atmosphere made it the perfect getaway. A special thank you to Namal, Anurudda, Dinu, and the chef, who all went above and beyond to make our stay memorable. Their hospitality, attention to detail, and genuine care were outstanding. The food was just amazing. Every meal was delicious and beautifully prepared. We highly recommend Villa Le Maas Tota to anyone looking for a relaxing and unforgettable escape.

“Very quiet and private”

I want to say that this place is very quiet and private. The view is absolutely beautiful. The villa itself is very nice and clean, with great staff and service. On the day we arrived, it was my birthday. The staff prepared the room with birthday decorations, and in the evening during dinner they brought us a cake with a candle. The dinner was tasty…maybe not exactly worth $20, but you could really see that the staff were trying their best and cared about the experience. The rooms are very cozy - there are bathrobes, loose leaf tea, coffee, a kettle, and a fridge. All bathroom amenities are provided as well. The room facilities were excellent and we had no complaints at all. This is truly a great place if you want to be alone with nature and relax in peace. I definitely recommend it.

“Beautiful oasis in the mountains”

We had a truly wonderful stay at Le Maas Tota Villa and would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Sri Lanka. The location is simply incredible, peaceful, scenic, and surrounded by beautifully maintained grounds and a private waterfall that make it feel like an oasis. It’s the perfect place to relax and unwind while still being close enough to explore the surrounding area. The food was a real highlight of our stay. Breakfast was fresh, flavourful, and thoughtfully prepared, with a great variety and wonderful location near the pool. Dining here felt like a special experience. Our room was lovely - clean, comfortable, and tastefully designed, with everything we needed for a relaxing stay. The staff were warm, attentive, and genuinely welcoming, always going above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and enjoying our time. Overall, a fantastic stay with great food, beautiful surroundings, and exceptional service. We would absolutely come back.

“Lovely property. DO NOT book activities. Massively over charged and not as advertised.”

The property was in a beautiful location and had a lovely infinity pool.

“The property is a retreat- staff are incredible”

the view is fabulous just like the photos. It is so nice that there is only a few people there at the one time so you often have the place all to yourself. The staff were exceptional and went out of their way to help us and make sure that everything was perfect. The food is fantastic and we highly recommend wish we could’ve stayed for longer.

“Private and beautiful hotel near Ella.”

Very private hotel, super friendly and attentive staff.

The place is fantastic. Very beautiful, great views and lovely food. We were treated very well by our host Vimukthi

We had a wonderful stay at this villa. When you step into the atrium, breathtaking views open up in front of you. The villa is located high on top of a hill, and the road leading there is winding and a bit challenging, but absolutely worth it for the views. We stayed in a corner room with stunning views all around. It’s a perfect place to relax and disconnect. Lunch and dinner are also available at the villa for 20$, which makes it very convenient to stay in and enjoy the peaceful atmosphere.

“Beautiful and tranquil villa with history”

Beautiful location and surroundings, you can enjoy your coffee with monkeys playing in the trees nearby! The staff were always friendly and made sure we had everything we needed. The meals were also delicious and prepared with care. Would visit again!

“Worth the trip!”

We had such a lovely server (Vimukthi) who was really knowledgeable and had great English, explained a lot to us about Sri Lanka and was really sweet. The room was really nice, and so was the bathroom. Views are amazing and the photos don’t do it justice, we were really happy staying here. Food was really nice too. It’s a bit of a drive to the top in a tuk tuk (taxis can make it too) but it’s worth it. They also arrange activities for you as we went to Lipton’s seat.

“Great place, great discovery.”

Everything

“The views here are amazing! Nice hotel, very friendly staff!”

The view is amazing!!! Enjoying this view from the infinity pool or the terrace is absolutely amazing. There is much peace there. Absolutely amazing. The staff is also very friendly and helpful. Food was very good as well. Please make sure you enjoy your breakfast on the terrace, and with the view. Amazing!

“The most beautiful place highly recommend”

Location good everything

“Exceptional service and fantastic views”

Everyone and everything was great especially our helper Arj 🙏 the space was amazing and especially the food. We enjoyed everything, the tranquility, the rolling hills and monkeys around.

“Best stay”

This place was the highlight of my mini moon. I’ve never been to such a cool secluded place. I think we got lucky to have found this. All Ella options were blah but this one stood out. It’s the most unique personalised experience one can get. Every staff welcomes you with a warm smile, sweet words and a heart of gold. The interior is lavish, food scrumptious and hospitality stole our heart. They have a personal chef that’s really talented. The amenities are lovely. There’s good network and Wi-Fi. An infinity pool and the cute hammocks. A cool fine dining space and a huge living room. You can hear the birds chirp, the waterfall and the trees whistling. Also, bonus they have a private waterfall where you can swim along with your partner or group! I mean what else do you need? The view is stunning. I would highly recommend this stay if you’re coming with family or as a couple. The staff member Raj is the warmest. His smile makes you want to come back to this place. The staff is hardworking and warm. It’s one of my favourite 2 days at Sri Lanka. It’s a thrilling experience

“Amazing views”

The location has a mind blowing view and Raj was brilliant showing us all the spice and local plants/trees and taking us to a swimming/bathing spot with waterfalls. A lovely guy.

“Lovely relaxing location”

The views and location. The calm environment. The pool is just stunning. The short walk to a waterfall (small but private and swimmable). The communal area indoor and outdoor which makes it a luxury stay.

We had a truly wonderful time staying here and absolutely loved our experience from start to finish. One of the things we enjoyed the most was how flexible breakfast was – you could enjoy it at your own pace, and on top of that, it was simply excellent every single day. The accommodation is extremely quiet and peaceful. To be fully transparent: at first, we thought it was located directly in Ella, but it is actually about 1.5 hours away by tuk-tuk. However, we ended up enjoying this even more because of exactly that. Being a bit further away from Ella meant complete tranquility, lots of nature, and the perfect place to really arrive, slow down, and start our vacation in the best possible way. The staff is exceptionally well trained and makes you feel genuinely taken care of at all times. A special thank you to Anuradha and Raj, who were both incredibly kind, attentive, and warm – their hospitality truly made a difference. We would also like to compliment the owner for the great work and the care that clearly goes into running this place. Another highlight is how private the accommodation feels. Besides the room we stayed in, there are only three other rooms in the house, which makes it feel as if you have the place almost entirely to yourself. It’s very intimate, calm, and personal. One thing to keep in mind is that the climate here is a bit cooler and less sunny compared to the south of Sri Lanka. For us, this was actually a plus – the views are beautiful, and the temperatures are very pleasant. If you’re active, we highly recommend doing the hike to the waterfall about 11 km away. Along the way, you’ll pass many small, charming local shops, and the people in this area are incredibly friendly – even more so than what we experienced in the south. All in all: 10 out of 10. We can wholeheartedly recommend this place to anyone considering a stay here.

“Stunning Stay With Exceptional Service!”

I recently stayed at this beautiful hotel, and the experience was truly unforgettable. The views from the property are absolutely incredible — some of the best I’ve ever seen. The entire atmosphere is calm, relaxing, and perfect for unwinding. The room was spotless, spacious, and equipped with everything I needed for a comfortable stay. The interior design is next level, with a modern and elegant touch that really elevates the experience. The outdoor areas are just as impressive — beautifully maintained and so peaceful that I genuinely didn’t want to leave. The food overall was enjoyable, and there were plenty of options to choose from. I also want to highlight the outstanding service from Anuruddha. He looked after us exceptionally well from start to finish. His professionalism, friendliness, and attention to detail truly stood out. Even after we checked out, he messaged to make sure we arrived home safely — a gesture that speaks volumes about his dedication to guests. Overall, an amazing stay in a beautiful location with top-quality service. Highly recommended, and I would definitely return!

“Amazing experience with wonderful staff”

The staff was incredibly friendly and caring. For me the highlight of this place. When I arrived they have a ritual which I thought to be really nice. They made sure I had a wonderful time. I had one of their suites which was wel decorated, spacious and comfortable.
