The Minara Hotel, Kurawita

Posted by Maxus 23 September 2006

The Minara Hotel is a well-managed and reasonably priced modern boutique hotel adjacent to the magnificent Bopath Ella Waterfall. No doubt it gets busy in the season but when we stayed in June 06 we had the place to ourselves.

I would recommend this place to any traveller (particularly those looking for a break from the grubby bed sheet circuit).

A small modern, professionally run place with air conditioned rooms, a good restaurant and unrivalled views of the falls.

Near Ratnapura, a few kilometres off the A4 at Kurawita. Ask for Bopath Ella.
