About Newburgh Ella - The Tea Factory Resort

Restored 1903 tea factory above Ella, with mountain views, a spa & estate tea walks

Newburgh Ella is a century-old tea factory turned hotel, set among working tea estates on the Passara Road above Ella town, its orange chimney still standing proud. Tea giant Browns has kept its industrial bones and named every room after a Ceylon tea grade, with plenty looking out over the mountains. Take the Leaf to Luxury tour through the old works, have a go at plucking with the estate team or set off along nearby sections of the Pekoe Trail. Afterwards, you’ve the Ayuwása spa, four places to eat and drink and the SKY deck for the view.
