Ella Ravana Pool Club Dip & Dine+2 Free Cocktails!+Zipline

Start with a zipline or a swim. This three-hour Ella outing pairs one Flying Ravana ride with two hours at a heated pool overlooking Ella’s green hills. I like the three-course meal and the fact that two cocktails are included, but the $149 price is high if you mainly want pool time and do not care about the zipline.

The small-group format, limited to 10 people, keeps the outing more personal than a large day tour. Pickup and drop-off within 10 miles of the pool club also make the plan easy, though you will pay extra for more food, drinks, pool time, or a sunbed.

Key points at a glance

• One Flying Ravana zipline ride: Add a sharp burst of excitement to an otherwise relaxed afternoon.
• Two hours in a heated pool: You get a proper block of pool time, not just a quick photo stop.
• Three-course seasonal meal: Expect a soup or another starter, an international main dish, and dessert, with choices given on arrival.
• Two cocktails included: A useful extra for couples, birthday groups, or anyone marking a special occasion.
• Pickup within 10 miles of Ella Pool Club: Handy if your accommodation sits within the stated service area.
• Small group of up to 10: A better fit for people who prefer a more controlled outing.

What this Ella outing is really about

This is not a full-day tour of Ella. It is a compact leisure package that joins three popular holiday activities: a scenic pool, a meal, and the Flying Ravana Zipline.

The appeal is the contrast. You can spend part of the visit floating in warm water with Ella’s greenery behind you, then switch gears for a fast zipline ride. Or you can ride first and settle into the pool afterward. The choice of timing is built into the Zip In or Zip Out concept, although the exact order may depend on how the pool club manages arrivals and ride times.

I like that the package gives you a proper reason to stay. A zipline on its own can be over quickly. Pool access alone may feel expensive for a short visit. The meal and cocktails fill out the experience and make it feel more like a celebration than a single attraction.

The main caution is value. At $149 per person, this is a premium outing in Ella. You are paying for convenience, a meal, drinks, pool access, and the zipline ride together. If you would rather spend the afternoon hiking, visiting waterfalls, or eating at a local restaurant, this package may not be the best use of your budget.

Arriving at Ravana Pool Club

Pickup and return transport are included within a 10-mile radius of Ella Pool Club. That matters in Ella, where a simple outing can become less simple if you need to arrange separate transport, find the entrance, and coordinate your return.

The stated duration is three hours. Two of those hours are allocated to pool time, leaving roughly one hour for the meal, cocktails, changing, and the zipline ride. The timing is therefore fairly structured, even if the mood is relaxed.

Do not expect an all-day resort visit. If you want to spend hours reading beside the water or ordering several rounds of drinks, the included two-hour pool allowance will feel short. Extra pool time is available for an additional charge, but it is not part of the listed package price.

The experience is wheelchair accessible, which is a useful feature to confirm when planning a group with different mobility needs. An English-speaking host or greeter is provided, and the small group is limited to 10 people.

Two hours beside Ella’s heated pool

The pool is the heart of the relaxed side of this outing. It is heated and looks out toward Ella’s lush greenery, giving you a comfortable place to slow down after the zipline or before it.

That heated water is especially useful if the weather is cooler or if you are not keen on spending time in a cold pool. You can treat the visit as a break from sightseeing, with the setting doing much of the work. The views give the pool time a sense of place rather than making it feel like any hotel swimming area.

You receive two hours of pool access. That is long enough for a swim, a drink, a meal, and some time sitting around, but you should keep an eye on the clock if you want to use every part of the package.

Sunbeds are not included. They can be booked for an added fee, so factor that in if sitting beside the pool is more important to you than swimming. This is one of those small extras that can affect the final cost, particularly for couples or groups hoping to claim a comfortable lounging area.

Extra food and drinks also cost more. The two cocktails are included, but additional orders are not. For a special occasion, the setup works well. For a long, casual afternoon, the add-on charges can build quickly.

The Flying Ravana Zipline ride

The zipline supplies the action. The package includes one ride on the Flying Ravana Zipline, so this is not an unlimited activity or a full session of repeated runs.

That single ride is best understood as a memorable highlight rather than the entire reason to book. You get the rush of flying above Ella’s green surroundings, then return to a calmer pool and dining setting. The combination gives the outing more variety than a standalone zipline ticket.

The order is flexible in spirit. You can choose to zip first and relax later, or begin with pool time and take the ride after. If you are nervous about the ride, doing it early may let you enjoy the rest of the visit without waiting for it. If you prefer to settle in and watch the action before committing, pool time first may suit you better.

Your English-speaking host helps keep the plan moving. Gayan is one guide connected with this experience, and his friendly manner was specifically praised after helping make the outing run well. A good host matters here because the visit combines several timed pieces rather than one simple activity.

You should also think about clothing. The pool and zipline are different activities, so wear something comfortable for both and bring whatever you need to feel prepared for getting wet. The supplied details do not specify equipment or changing-room arrangements, so it is sensible to check those points before departure if they matter to you.

A seasonal three-course meal

The meal gives the package much of its value. You receive one starter, one main course, and one dessert per person.

The starter selection includes soups. Main courses come from a range of international dishes, and dessert includes a selection of sweet treats. The menu changes with the season, so you will see the available choices when you arrive rather than selecting from a fixed menu in advance.

That seasonal approach can be a plus because it allows the kitchen to work with its current offerings. It also means you should not book this package expecting one particular dish. If you have dietary needs or strong food preferences, ask what is available before committing to the meal.

The meal is not simply a snack between activities. Three courses make this a practical option for a birthday, honeymoon, family celebration, or an evening when you want your food arranged in advance. It also means you do not need to leave the pool club to find lunch or dinner elsewhere.

Still, the food is described in broad terms rather than with a detailed menu. You should view it as a convenient included meal, not necessarily as a destination dining experience. The strongest reasons to book remain the combination of pool, cocktails, and zipline.

Two cocktails and the celebration factor

Two complimentary cocktails are included per person. This is a noticeable benefit at a resort-style pool venue, where drinks can otherwise push the price higher.

The cocktails make the package especially suited to couples, birthday groups, and honeymooners. You can use them during the pool portion or with the meal, depending on the venue’s serving arrangements. The provided details do not identify the cocktail choices, so you will learn what is available on arrival.

The wording says two cocktails per person, not two cocktails per booking. That distinction matters if you are comparing the package with a regular pool entry. For a pair, the included drinks add four cocktails to the overall booking.

Drink responsibly, especially if you choose to take the zipline after ordering. If you want the clearest head for the ride, use the cocktails after your zipline run.

Is $149 a fair price?

The answer depends on how many included parts you would otherwise pay for separately. You receive transport within 10 miles, a three-course meal, two hours of pool access, two cocktails, and one Flying Ravana ride.

I see the value in the all-in-one format. You do not have to organize a driver, reserve a meal, arrange pool entry, and then find your way to the zipline. For a special occasion, that convenience can be worth paying for.

The price is harder to justify if you only want one part of the outing. A person who wants a quick zipline ride may find the meal and pool time unnecessary. Someone who only wants to lounge in the pool may not want to pay for an adventure ride. The package makes the most sense when you genuinely want all three: food, pool time, and zipline.

The small group also adds some value. With a maximum of 10 participants, you are not signing up for a large coach-style activity. That can make the host’s coordination easier and reduce the waiting that often comes with big groups.

Who will enjoy this most?

I would recommend this to people who want a polished, celebratory break from Ella’s usual sightseeing. Couples can use it as a relaxed date, families can combine an activity with a meal, and groups celebrating a birthday can make use of the cocktails and shared setting.

It also suits you if your ideal outing mixes comfort with a little nervous laughter. The pool is calm, the meal is planned, and the zipline adds a clear moment of excitement.

I would be more cautious if you are watching your budget or building a packed Ella itinerary. Three hours is not long, and $149 could cover several simpler local activities. The package is also less attractive if you do not drink cocktails, do not want a pool visit, or have no interest in the Flying Ravana ride.

Practical booking advice for Ella

Choose a time that gives you room to enjoy the pool rather than treating it as a rushed stop. Since the package lasts three hours and includes a meal, the experience works best when you are not trying to fit another major activity immediately afterward.

Pickup is included only within 10 miles of Ella Pool Club. If you are staying farther away, confirm the transport arrangement before booking so the included transfer does not come as a surprise.

The activity offers free cancellation up to 24 hours before the start time, and you can reserve now and pay later. Those terms give you some flexibility if your Ella plans are still changing.

An English-speaking host is available, and the group size is limited to 10. If a particular guide matters to you, ask whether Gayan is scheduled for your date, since guide assignments can vary.

Should you book the Ravana Pool Club package?

Book it if you want a convenient celebration with a real mix of relaxation and action. The strongest combination is the heated pool, three-course meal, two cocktails, and one Flying Ravana ride, all handled in a three-hour visit.

Skip it if you want a low-cost activity, a longer pool session, or a full day exploring Ella. At $149, this is not a bargain outing. It is a packaged treat for people who value convenience and want several experiences in one place.

For the right occasion, I can see the appeal clearly. Zip first, then cool off with food and a drink, or settle into the pool before taking your turn in the air. Just budget for sunbeds, extra drinks, and extra pool time if you want more than the included basics.
