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

Pool time, cocktails, and a zipline in Ella. This three-hour outing combines a meal at the Ravana Pool Club with two hours in its heated pool, views of Ella’s greenery, and one ride on the Flying Ravana Zipline. I like the way it turns a simple pool visit into a full half-day treat, and I like that transport is included within 10 miles of the club.

The three-course meal and two cocktails add real value for anyone planning a celebration or a relaxed afternoon out. The main thing to consider is cost: at $149 per person, this is a premium experience, and extra drinks, food, pool time, and sunbeds cost more.

The activity is limited to 10 people, so it should feel more manageable than a large group outing. Gayan, one of the guides, was praised for being friendly and attentive, while the driver also earned warm feedback. The zipline ride is the energetic part, but the pool and meal are what give the experience its slower, social side.

• The group is capped at 10 people, and the activity is listed as wheelchair accessible.

What this Ella package is really offering

This is best understood as a compact leisure experience with one burst of adventure. You are not signing up for a full-day sightseeing tour around Ella. Instead, you get a meal, pool time, drinks, and one zipline ride at a single destination.

That combination works well because Ella can be full of steep walks, viewpoints, and active outings. After a busy morning, a heated pool overlooking lush greenery gives you a place to slow down. You can enjoy the setting without spending the whole day moving between stops.

The package is also designed for occasions. Families, birthday groups, honeymooners, and couples looking for a special afternoon can all make use of it. The setting and cocktails give the meal a celebratory feel, while the zipline supplies enough action to keep the day from becoming too quiet.

I would not choose this package if your main goal is a long zipline session or a full adventure circuit. Only one ride is included. Think of the zipline as the opening act, with the pool and meal taking up most of the experience.

Arriving at Ravana Pool Club with included transport

Pickup and drop-off are included for locations within 10 miles of Ella Pool Club. That is a useful detail in Ella, where transport can make a short trip much simpler, especially if you are carrying swimwear, changing clothes, or other day-trip items.

The exact pickup time depends on the available starting slots. The listed duration is three hours, so you should allow enough time to enjoy each part without treating the visit as a quick stop.

A driver was specifically praised for providing good service, and Gayan was noted as a friendly guide who helped keep the experience pleasant. Those details matter here because the outing includes several moving parts: transport, the zipline, pool access, and a meal. A calm host can make the change between activities easier.

The group limit of 10 is another practical advantage. You are less likely to feel lost in a large crowd, and a smaller group should make instructions for the zipline easier to follow. Still, the experience is shared, so your pool and meal timing may not be completely private.

Taking the Flying Ravana Zipline

The Flying Ravana Zipline provides the main thrill. One ride is included in the package, and the choice of zip in or zip out gives the experience a playful edge. The available details do not specify the length, height, or speed of the line, so you should not book this expecting a particular technical setup.

What is clear is that the zipline gives you a quick change of pace before or after the more relaxed pool visit. It is a good fit if you want to add some excitement to a meal without committing to a full adventure day.

The ride was described as very enjoyable, and that praise is worth taking seriously when comparing this package with a regular pool booking. You are paying for the chance to add a recognized Ella activity to your afternoon.

At the same time, one ride may feel brief if ziplining is the main reason you are interested. The package does not include repeat rides. Additional zipline access is not listed, so confirm the arrangements at the time of booking if you want more than the included ride.

Two hours in the heated pool

The pool is the heart of the relaxed side of this outing. You receive two hours of pool time, with Ella’s green surroundings forming the backdrop. The pool is heated, which makes the visit more comfortable if the air feels cool or if you want a longer, easygoing swim.

Two hours is enough to give the visit shape. You can settle in, swim, dry off, and still have time for food and drinks. It is also long enough for a family or small group to enjoy the pool at different speeds rather than rushing everyone through the same schedule.

The pool area was praised as a good place to spend time, and the staff at the club were also described warmly. That supports the idea that this is not simply a quick swim added to a zipline ticket. The club itself is part of the appeal.

There is one extra charge to watch closely: sunbeds are not included. You can book them for an additional fee, but the package gives you pool access rather than guaranteed use of a specific lounger. If a sunbed is important to you, arrange it separately instead of assuming it comes with the $149 price.

Extra pool time after the two-hour allowance is also not included. Keep an eye on the clock if you want to avoid an unexpected charge.

The seasonal three-course meal

The meal includes 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, so you receive the available choices on arrival rather than choosing from a fixed menu in advance. That gives the kitchen room to work with current ingredients, but it also means you cannot plan around a specific dish from the published package details.

I like the way the meal fits the mood of the experience. You can start with the active zipline, spend time by the pool, and then settle into a proper meal instead of grabbing a snack between activities. For a birthday or honeymoon outing, three courses feel more special than a simple poolside order.

The meal also helps explain some of the price. You are not paying only for entry and a ride. The package brings together a full meal, two cocktails, pool access, transport within the stated radius, and the zipline.

Still, $149 is not a bargain package. If you do not want cocktails, do not care about the pool, or already plan to take the zipline separately, the value becomes less convincing. The price makes more sense when you intend to use nearly every included feature.

Extra food and drinks are not included. Keep that in mind if you have a large appetite, want more cocktails, or plan to stay beyond the two-hour pool allowance.

Two cocktails and the social side of the visit

Two complimentary cocktails are included per person. This gives the afternoon a more festive feel and makes the package especially appealing for couples, birthday groups, and other celebrations.

The cocktails are part of the included package, not an unlimited drinks arrangement. Any additional drinks cost extra, so I would treat the two included cocktails as a welcome bonus rather than the start of an open bar.

You can also choose when the drinks fit best. Some people will prefer one near the pool and one with the meal. Others may want both alongside lunch. The available details do not set a required order, so ask the host about timing when you arrive.

The social atmosphere is likely to be one of the package’s strengths. A small group, a shared meal, and a pool setting give you room to relax and talk. If you want a completely private celebration, though, remember that this is a small-group activity, not a private pool rental.

Is $149 a good value?

At $149 per person, this is a premium three-hour outing. The value depends on how you use it.

For that price, you receive:

• Pickup and drop-off within 10 miles of the pool club
• A three-course meal
• Two cocktails
• Two hours of pool access
• One Flying Ravana Zipline ride
• A small-group format capped at 10 people

Viewed as a combined experience, the price can be reasonable for a special occasion. You avoid arranging separate transport, a restaurant meal, pool access, drinks, and a zipline visit. The convenience has value, especially if you are staying near Ella and want an easy package.

The price is less attractive for a budget-conscious visitor who only wants one part of the outing. Pool access is limited to two hours, sunbeds cost extra, and additional food, drinks, or pool time are not covered.

I would compare the package with the cost of booking the zipline, meal, and pool separately in Ella. If the separate total comes close, this package gains an advantage because the transport and planning are already handled. If you would skip the cocktails or meal, book only the activity you actually want.

Who will enjoy this most?

This experience is a strong match for you if you want a polished break from active sightseeing. It suits couples who want a date-style afternoon, families looking for a mix of excitement and downtime, and groups marking a birthday or honeymoon.

It also works for visitors who want to experience the Flying Ravana Zipline without giving up several hours to an adventure program. You get one ride, then move into a comfortable pool and meal setting.

I would be more cautious if you are traveling on a tight budget, dislike shared activities, or want a serious adrenaline experience. The zipline portion is limited to one ride, and the package carries extra costs if you want sunbeds, more drinks, more food, or additional pool time.

The wheelchair accessibility note is useful for visitors who need that feature. Because accessibility can depend on the exact facilities and your personal needs, contact the provider before booking if you require specific assistance.

Booking details worth knowing

You can cancel up to 24 hours before the activity for a full refund, and the reserve-now-pay-later option lets you hold a place without paying immediately. Starting times depend on availability.

English is the listed language for the host or greeter. The small group is limited to 10 participants, which should make instructions and transfers easier to manage than a large coach-style outing.

Bring the right expectations: this is a three-hour package, not a full-day tour of Ella. You are visiting one pool club, taking one zipline ride, enjoying two hours of pool time, and having a three-course meal.

Should you book the Ravana Pool Club package?

Book it if you want an easy, celebratory afternoon that combines a proper meal, pool time, cocktails, and one zipline ride. The strongest reasons to choose it are the all-in-one format, included transport around Ella, friendly hosting from people such as Gayan, and the balance between action and rest.

Skip it if the $149 price feels high for three hours, or if you mainly want repeated zipline rides or a long private pool session. Sunbeds, extra food and drinks, and extra pool time all cost more.

For a honeymoon, birthday, family treat, or special afternoon in Ella, I think the package makes the most sense. For a low-cost activity, it is harder to justify. Use all the inclusions, and the price has a fair chance of feeling worthwhile.
