Ravana Pool Club’s week-long prelude to the ultimate NYE party in Ella.

If you’re choosing where to spend the end of the year in Sri Lanka, let Ella lead the way because Ravana Pool Club is transforming the hill country into the island’s most exciting December destination. Instead of trailing from party to party, you get a full week of curated celebrations in one spectacular mountaintop location.

From 25th – 30th December 2025, Ravana Pool Club turns every day into a themed festive gathering from 11 .00 AM onwards, all building toward the signature Ravana NYE on 31st December 2025, an above-the-clouds New Year’s Eve designed for everyone who want more than just another evening out.

What to expect

Ravana Pool Club is the kind of place that gives the party energy with mountain scenery, heated infinity pools, bamboo-roof lounges, DJ sets, cocktails, and picture-perfect sunset moments. Expect a lively, social crowd, strong cocktail lines (including some island twists), redeemable entrance fees, and themed parties that range from family-friendly to full-on party mode. If you want golden-hour photos and a playlist that keeps you moving into the night, this is the spot.

The line-up Each day of the Back to back pool parties has its own personality so you can pick your favourite.

• 25th December – Christmas Splash – Family-friendly from 11AM onwards, free sangria/fruit punch for package holders, Santa arrives at 5 PM, family platters, beverage deals and pool packages.

• 26th December – Hawaiian Escape -, Tropical, coconut-flavoured long drinks, Hawaiian food (pizza, pork ribs, kebabs, smoothie bowls), shisha and happy hours.

• 27th December – Lovers’ Escape – Tapas platters & finger foods, wide range of premium shisha flavors & long drinks, promotions for couples & happy hour on selected cocktails.

• 28th December – Bollywood Splash – Indian food corner (samosa, pakora, tandoori chicken kebab), signature cocktails (Masala Mule, Bombay Breeze, Mango Royale) and chai/masala tea counter.

• 29th December – Cultural Fiesta – A cultural dance show at 11AM onwards (wes dance, shawl, drum, pantheru and fire dance), traditional cuisine and special arrack cocktails.

• 30th December – The Ladies’ Affair – DJ party + dance competition, free entrance and sangria for ladies, Italian & Arabic food themes, stylish party dress code and prize vouchers for winners

These six parties build into the 31st December – RAVANA NYE – Live DJ and percussion, complimentary sparkling at countdown, exclusive long-drinks & food menu, photo booth, and special NYE pool packages.

These parties are for you

The Back-to-back pool parties’ series is designed for just about everyone who wants to soak up the December holiday energy in Ella. Families will find Christmas Day especially welcoming, with Santa’s arrival, treats & gifts for kids, and generous combo platters that make it easy to settle in for the day. Couples get their moment on Lovers’ Escape, where tapas, long drinks, and warm lighting create a more intimate, romantic sunset atmosphere. Groups of friends will love the louder, more energetic nights – the Hawaiian Escape, Bollywood Splash, and The Ladies’ Affair; all packed with themed food, cocktails, music, and plenty of space to dance or chill by the pool. Culture lovers aren’t left out either; Cultural Fiesta is the highlight for anyone who wants to experience traditional dances, drums, cuisine, and island classics in a modern, open air club setting. Whether you’re looking for food, culture, music, a date night, or a place to let loose with your crew, there’s a day specifically crafted for your vibe.

How to get there

Ravana Pool Club sits in the Ella area (Uva Greenland Estate), roughly a short tuk-tuk or taxi ride from Ella town. If you’re staying in the hills you can book a transfer in advance, especially for NYE when traffic and demand spike. For visitors flying in from Colombo, plan for the scenic route as the journey is also a part of the experience.

Insider tips

• All parties start from 11:00 AM and go on until late night.

• Arrive before sunset for the best poolside light; you’ll thank us for the photos.

• Use the entrance fee against a shared food platter or your favourite beverages; group bookings get the most value.

• If you want a reserved sofa or private area for NYE, pre-book the packages as they sell fast.

• Dress code varies. Some nights (Ladies’ Affair) call for stylish party wear; others are more relaxed island-casual so check the night’s theme before you dress.

Why Ravana Pool Club ?

Ella’s social scene is changing, and Ravana Pool Club is leading the charge. This isn’t just another party series, it’s six distinctly themed days that stack into one unforgettable, sky-high New Year’s Eve; think six mini-festivals without moving hotels. Spots, sofas and VIP areas are limited and the most coveted nights and NYE packages disappear fast, so don’t wait to decide. Treat the redeemable entry and early-bird pool/NYE packages as your ticket to guaranteed good times and great value!
