• Lavendra Paradise — small guesthouse famous for breakfasts served on the terrace/balcony with spectacular valley/waterfall views; many guests call the breakfast outstanding. (booking.com)
• Zion View Ella (Zion View Ella Green Retreat) — boutique retreat with a large, well‑rated breakfast spread (fresh fruit, pastries, waffles) and great mountain views from the dining area. (tripadvisor.com)
• Green Hill (guesthouse) — highly rated for sunrise breakfasts with stunning views over Little Adam’s Peak; a favorite for watching sunrise with your morning coffee. (tripadvisor.com)
• Hide Ella Hotel & Resort — guests like the breakfast area by the pool / sky bar and report attentive staff and a mix of Western and Sri Lankan breakfast options. (en.tripadvisor.com.hk)

Quick tips

• If you want sunrise breakfast before hikes (Little Adam’s Peak / Ella Rock), ask the hotel for an early/packed breakfast when you book — several properties will arrange it. (tripadvisor.com)
• For the best views, choose rooms or dining areas listed as “balcony/terrace with valley view” or “breakfast with mountain/tea‑plantation views.” (Small guesthouses often serve the most memorable terrace breakfasts.) (booking.com)
• If you have dietary needs, mention them ahead of arrival — higher‑end hotels in Ella (e.g., 98 Acres) have handled special diets. (tripadvisor.com)
