Uga Ghiri - Ella

Where mountains beckon
and timeless luxury awaits

Let heavenly views and quiet comforts set the tone.

High on a clifftop, with sweeping views over tea-covered hills and forested valleys sits Uga Ghiri, our luxury hotel in Ella. Down below, framed by tall pines, the iconic Nine Arch Bridge curves through the landscape – a timeless sight. The old colonial manor that watched time pass by, is now thoughtfully renewed, bringing together the charms of the past with the comforts of today, without losing its sense of place. In this private escape of 15 villas – each with its own jacuzzi; an elegant, old-world bar, and spa with unforgettable views, you can settle in, slow down, simply feel the luxury and forget the world.
