Nilakshi in the front office and Sanjeewa in the restaurant are amazing. Also I should mention Udesh, Manager. Foods were fantastic. Thank you all and others making our stay at Echo unforgettable. We have stayed some upscale hotels in the Ella area, but Echo is the best. We highly recommend this place.

Serene Bliss Amidst Nature: Perfect Ella Getaway in EKHO, ELLA. Nestled in the lush hills of Ella, Sri Lanka, lies a hidden gem for nature enthusiasts EKHO ELLA the Eco-Friendly Retreat. As a passionate advocate for sustainable tourism, I was thrilled to discover this tranquil haven that seamlessly blends luxury with eco-consciousness. From the moment I arrived, I was enveloped in the soothing embrace of nature. Surrounded by verdant forests and breathtaking views of Ella's iconic landmarks, every corner of the resort exuded serenity. The eco-friendly ethos was evident in every aspect of the retreat, from its use of locally sourced materials to its commitment to minimizing environmental impact. Accommodation options ranged from cozy villa alike rooms to spacious bungalows, each designed with eco-friendly principles in mind. Green gardens to supply for delicious dishes at the restaurant, while rainwater harvesting systems ensured efficient water usage. The charm of the accommodations was complemented by modern amenities, ensuring a comfortable stay without compromising on sustainability. Special highlights to SANJEEWA & NETHMI from restaurant noted down our preferences and surprised us every day in breakfast. PRIYANTHA from housekeeping made sure our rooms are spotless. Special mention to UDESH, the hotel manager who went above and beyond to make sure we are well taken care of.

The Place to stay in Elle
If you want something special at Elle , close by the town , but far away to enjoy silence and nature , then is Ekco Elle the place to go . It is not cheap but after your visit you now it is all worth .

Fabulous retreat.
Fantastic hotel in a wonderful setting which is a short walk into Ella but well away from the busy town. Also a short walk from the station if you arrive by train. Staff are very courteous and always helpful. Thoroughly recommended.

Beautiful property! We stayed here for one night in January and I wish we could’ve stayed for more. Upon arrival, we got a complimentary upgrade to the room with the jacuzzi and it was so nice to have it - if I were to come back, I would book this room again. The room was a good size, clean, and in great condition. The amenities provided were nice. They had a pre-fix menu for breakfast along with eggs however you wanted them cooked, and it all tasted wonderful and was served in their upscale dining room with gorgeous views of the mountains. We didn’t have dinner there but wished we could fit it into our schedule since everything else was so nice. The staff was also very hospitable and friendly. Overall, the whole place was fantastic! The only suggestion I would make to the hotel is to provide guests with slippers or mop the floors after each stay - we did not have our own slippers so we walked around the room with our bare feet, and the floor was very dusty.

We were so warmly welcomed from the second we arrived and were treated with such kindness until the moment we left. The room was absolutely perfect, spacious and immaculate. We had dinner, breakfast and lunch here and all was excellent. The service in the restaurant is outstanding. The view is breathtaking. You wake up and see the sunrise over the mountains from your window. We have traveled all over the world and truly have not received better value for $200 usd anywhere.

EKHO Ella is a great hotel, and I would definitely stay there again. The views of the high country from the garden are unbeatable. The public spaces are lovely, the staff is friendly & helpful, and the Sri Lankan food is perfect. (Note: in the restaurant you can opt for either western or Sri Lankan food). The hotel is within walking distance of town which made it easy to pop in for lunch or some shopping.
