Top landmarks in Nuwara Eliya

A beautiful train journey through the rolling hills of Sri Lanka's enormous tea plantations. I took this train ride from Nuwara Eliya to Ella which took about 3 hours, and less than 300 rupees- third class is worth the mild discomfort for the people you meet. And Ella is definitely worth a trip- stunning views and hikes up to Ella Rock and Little Adams Peak.

See all hotels in Nuwara Eliya
The road from Kandy to Nuwara Eliya is full of turns, deceptively long and passes some of the largest tea plantations in the world. Truth be told, driving anywhere in the hill country of Sri Lanka is an exercise in patience given that even short distances can take hours due to slow moving traffic, poor weather or less than desirable roads. Better then to sit back and enjoy the ride while stopping for the occasional picture. (as we did for this cloudy sunset)

4 tips for savvy savings when booking a hotel in Nuwara Eliya

  1. Book for the cheapest times: The most affordable period to visit Nuwara Eliya is during June, July, and September, when hotel prices are lower. For those looking to explore the area's key historical and cultural landmarks, a stay of at least 2 to 3 days is recommended. This duration provides ample opportunity to discover attractions such as the local art museum, historic lighthouse, and various nature reserves. Nuwara Eliya offers great value for money, making it an ideal destination for budget-conscious travellers eager to immerse themselves in its rich heritage and scenic beauty.
  2. Look for last-minute deals on Hotels.com: To discover last-minute deals to Nuwara Eliya, begin by exploring the DealsOpens in a new window or Last-Minute Deals sections on Hotels.com, where you may find discounted rates as your travel date approaches. Consider enabling email alerts or push notifications to stay updated on flash sales and special promotions, ensuring you’re well-informed about potential savings. Additionally, Smart Shopping is a handy comparison tool available in the app, allowing you to compare hotel prices and amenities. This way, you could be the first to know if rooms become available or prices drop, making your last-minute getaway more accessible.
  3. Be flexible with dates: Prices can fluctuate based on factors such as the hotel's location, star rating, and the time of year, so being flexible with your travel dates may help you save on your stay in a Nuwara Eliya hotel. For those seeking a distinctive experience, boutique hotels often provide a more personalised touch and occasionally better value. When you book through Hotels.com, we'll inform you whether the price for your chosen dates is above or below the average. If the price is on the higher side, we will suggest alternative dates that could be more affordable, helping you to secure the best possible deal.
  4. Consider your location: Hotels situated near the city centre usually tend to be more expensive; however, thanks to Nuwara Eliya's excellent public transport connections, you may discover a more affordable independent hotel located further afield that is still well linked. For those wishing to explore alternative, less crowded neighbourhoods or even lesser-known nearby towns, there is often great value for money to be found. Opting for these alternative destinations could provide a more authentic and budget-friendly experience.
