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

Make your Ella day a little wilder. This three-hour experience combines the Ravana Pool Club, a three-course meal, two cocktails, and one ride on the Flying Ravana Zipline. You get two hours in the heated pool with Ella’s green hills behind you, then a fast, memorable run through the air.

I like the smart mix of relaxation and action. The pool gives you time to slow down, while the zipline adds a proper thrill instead of making this only a meal with a view. I also like that pickup and drop-off are included within 10 miles of the pool club. The main thing to consider is the price: at $149 per person, this is a special-occasion outing rather than a cheap afternoon by the water.

The package suits a birthday, honeymoon, family outing, or anyone who wants to add a polished break to an Ella sightseeing day. The seasonal menu means you choose from the available dishes on arrival, so you should not book this expecting one fixed menu. Sunbeds cost extra, and food or drinks beyond the stated inclusions are also charged separately.

Key details before you book

• One Flying Ravana Zipline ride: Your package includes one ride, giving the pool day a genuine burst of adventure.
• Two hours in a heated pool: You have a clear pool allowance, so this is not an all-day pool pass.
• Three courses included: The meal covers one starter, one main course, and one dessert per person.
• Two cocktails on the house: These are included, while additional drinks are not.
• Pickup within 10 miles: Transport is included from locations within the stated radius of Ella Pool Club.
• Small groups of up to 10: The limited group size should help keep the outing more personal and manageable.

Why this Ella combination works

Ella is known for big views, mountain roads, walks, and a relaxed holiday pace. This experience gives you something different without asking you to spend a full day on a long excursion. In three hours, you can have a meal, enjoy the pool, and take a zipline ride.

I see the appeal in the contrast. The pool club is designed for lounging, cocktails, and a slower meal. The Flying Ravana Zipline brings a sharper edge to the day. You do not have to choose between rest and excitement, at least not on this package.

The setting is part of the value. The pool is heated and looks out toward Ella’s lush greenery. That makes the experience more than a standard restaurant stop. You are paying for time in a leisure setting, plus the activity and transport, not simply for lunch.

Still, three hours is a fairly tight window for a meal, pool time, and zipline ride. If you want a long, lazy pool afternoon, the two-hour allowance may feel short. If you prefer a neatly timed activity that fits around other plans, the schedule works better.

Arriving at Ravana Pool Club

Pickup and drop-off are included within 10 miles of Ella Pool Club. This is useful if you are staying nearby and do not want to arrange separate transport. The package is operated in English, and the group is limited to 10 participants.

The small-group format matters here. A pool club and zipline experience can become awkward when too many people are moving through the same schedule. A maximum of 10 gives the outing a more contained feel, although the exact timing of the meal, pool session, and zipline ride can depend on the day’s operation.

The driver also matters. Noël specifically praised the driver after a February 2026 booking, and the guide Gayan received direct praise for helping make the outing enjoyable. That is a useful sign for anyone who values smooth transport and friendly support as much as the headline activities.

You should check the pickup distance carefully before booking. The included transfer applies within 10 miles of the pool club, not automatically to every hotel in the wider Ella area. If you are farther away, the supplied details do not confirm an included transfer.

Two hours beside the heated pool

The pool is the calm center of the experience. You receive two hours of pool time, and the pool area overlooks Ella’s greenery. The heated water should make this more comfortable than a quick swim that depends entirely on warm weather.

I like that the pool time is clearly stated rather than left vague. You know you have two hours included, which helps you judge the value and plan your day. The area was described as good, and the staff at Ravana Pool Club were praised for being very friendly.

Do not confuse the pool allowance with unlimited access. Extra time after the two-hour period is not included. Sunbeds are also separate and can be booked for an additional fee. That is an important cost detail because many people naturally expect a pool-club package to include a reserved lounger.

The best approach is to treat the pool as one part of a planned experience. You have time to relax, enjoy your included cocktails, and take in the setting, but you are not buying a full-day resort pass. If you want the longest possible stretch beside the water, ask about extra pool time and sunbed costs before you arrive.

A seasonal three-course meal

The included meal has one starter, one main course, and one dessert per person. The starter selection includes soups, the main course offers international dishes, and dessert comes from a selection of sweet treats.

The menu is seasonal. You are presented with the available choices on arrival, so the package offers variety without promising a specific dish in advance. I see this as both a strength and a limitation. Seasonal choices can keep the meal fresh and flexible, but anyone with a strict food preference should ask about the menu when arriving.

The meal gives the pool session more substance. You are not simply stopping for a drink and a quick swim. A starter, main course, and dessert create a proper dining break, especially for a birthday or honeymoon outing.

At the same time, extra food is not included. If you want additional dishes, snacks, or larger portions, you pay separately. The same applies to drinks beyond the two cocktails. I would check the available meal choices and any extra charges before ordering, especially if you are travelling with children or have a large appetite.

Two cocktails and extra drink costs

Two cocktails are included in the price. They are intended to be part of the pool-club experience, giving you something festive to enjoy while you relax.

This is a nice touch for a celebration. A cocktail by a heated pool overlooking Ella’s greenery feels more special than a standard meal stop, and the included drinks help explain part of the package price.

The wording is important: you receive two complimentary cocktails, not unlimited drinks. Additional alcohol, soft drinks, or other beverages are not included in the package details. If you are travelling with children, the listed inclusion remains two cocktails per person, and the available information does not specify substitute drinks.

You should also plan responsibly around the zipline. The supplied details do not explain the exact order of cocktails and the zipline ride. For that reason, follow the operator’s instructions about when drinks may be consumed and when you need to take the ride.

Flying Ravana Zipline: the high point

The package includes one ride on the Flying Ravana Zipline. This is the part that gives the outing its extra punch. One booking includes one ride, so do not assume you can repeat the course without paying more.

The ride was singled out as very enjoyable, and the zipline is clearly the most active part of the package. You get the fun of a fast aerial ride, then the chance to return to the pool and meal setting. That combination makes this more memorable than a standard pool club visit.

The supplied information presents the zipline as a choice between zip in or zip out, but it does not explain the exact procedure. Ask the host or guide how that choice works on the day. I would also confirm the meeting point and timing once you arrive, since the activity has to fit inside the three-hour experience.

The zipline may appeal most to couples, older children, and adults who want a light adventure rather than a full day of demanding activity. Families should confirm that every participant meets the operator’s requirements, since the available information does not list age, height, weight, or health rules.

Is $149 per person good value?

At $149 per person, this is expensive if you judge it as only a meal and a swim. It becomes easier to justify when you count the complete package: transport within 10 miles, a three-course meal, two cocktails, two hours of pool time, and one Flying Ravana Zipline ride.

The price also buys convenience. You do not need to arrange a separate transfer, find a restaurant, book a pool club, and then organize the zipline on your own. For a celebration, that simple setup can be worth paying for.

I would compare the price with your priorities. If you mainly want a cheap swim, this is not the right choice. If you want a planned occasion with food, drinks, a scenic pool, and an activity in one booking, the package offers a more complete experience.

The added costs are easy to overlook. Extra food and drinks are separate. Pool time after two hours is separate. Sunbeds also cost more. I would budget for those possibilities before booking, particularly if you want a reserved place beside the pool or expect to stay longer.

Who will enjoy this most?

I would recommend this experience to couples celebrating a honeymoon or birthday, families looking for a structured outing, and friends who want both relaxation and a thrill. The combination gives everyone something to do, although not everyone has to value the same part of the package.

It also works for visitors with a free half-day in Ella. The three-hour duration is long enough to feel like a real activity but short enough to leave room for other plans. Pickup within 10 miles adds practical value if you are staying close to the pool club.

I would think twice if your main goal is a quiet, full-day pool visit. The fixed two-hour allowance and the zipline schedule make this more active and timed than a normal resort afternoon. I would also ask about food options first if you have dietary needs, since the menu changes by season and no dietary details are provided.

The wheelchair accessibility is a useful feature, but the supplied information does not explain which parts of the zipline setup or pool area are accessible. If that matters to you, contact the operator before booking and ask about the full route, not only the arrival area.

Practical timing and booking advice

The experience lasts three hours, but the precise starting times depend on availability. I would choose a time that gives you a comfortable margin around the rest of your Ella plans, rather than squeezing it between two fixed appointments.

Ceylon Pass provides the host or greeter in English. The guide Gayan was praised for being friendly and attentive, while the driver was also praised for making the outing easier. Those details suggest that the human side of the experience is one of its strengths.

You can cancel up to 24 hours in advance for a full refund. You can also reserve now and pay later, which helps if your Ella schedule is still changing. These policies reduce the risk of booking too early, but you should still check the selected time and pickup location carefully.

Should you book the Ravana Pool Club package?

Book it if you want a special half-day-style outing that blends a scenic heated pool, a proper meal, cocktails, transport, and one exciting zipline ride. The friendly support from Gayan and the driver, along with the positive comments about the food, staff, pool area, and zipline, all strengthen the case.

Skip it if you want the lowest-cost way to swim, eat, or ride a zipline separately. The $149 price is best understood as payment for convenience and a celebration-ready package. Ask about seasonal menu choices, sunbed fees, extra pool time, and the zipline schedule before you go.

For the right occasion, this is a polished way to add fun to an Ella visit without giving up time to relax.
