Very nice place to get a rest. Rooms very clean with AC and fan. Food is very good (sri lankan curry is, so far one of the best since we arrive). The owner is nice and helpful, you can ask him tips, book taxi and prepare your morning safari with a very good company and keen driver😃.(we saw 3x the leppards)

Yakaduru Yala is located on the buffer Zone of Yala National Park. It's just 5 minutes away from the Yala National Park Entrance. Yakaduru is renowned for its architecture and tourism, where guest can stay in properties built by Mud and palm thatched roofing. Yakaduru Yala runs on renewable energy sources, and features free WiFi, on-site parking and a barbecue facility. This is an amazing experience not to be missed if you are the adventurous type, but still like creature comforts. There are only 6 cabins in a wonderland setting near the Park. A nice pool for dipping in after your safari is great. But the highlight is the staff. From Nissantha, Sumudu and ALL the staff you will get a warm welcome and friendly service. Their passion for the environment is wonderful and as a bonus, the food is excellent traditional Sri Lankan. This was one of the biggest pleasant surprises on our trip. We will be back and highly recommend it if visiting Yala Park!

The accommodation features a 24-hour front desk, airport transfers, room service and free WiFi throughout the property.

The area is popular for fishing and cycling, and bike hire is available at this 2-star hotel. New Cormorant Lake Resort provided an excellent experience from start to finish. The host graciously guided us around the lake at no extra cost, sharing his extensive knowledge about the local animals and plants. He was incredibly friendly and helpful, even welcoming us with a drink upon arrival. The room was clean, nice, simple, and comfortable, providing just what we needed for a relaxing stay. The surroundings of the resort are beautiful and bring you close to nature. I highly recommend New Cormorant Lake Resort for anyone seeking a good accommodation close to Yala National Park.

He also has bikes you can borrow to stroll around the lakes, he offers you tea and coffee during the day, he lends you binoculars...one evening they spotted this cute owl near the property and he called us if we wanted to come see it...just soooo attentive, I wish we could stay there longer! Oh and the driver he recommended for the Yala safari was also great.

Set in Tissamaharama, 13 km from Tissa Wewa, Animal View Point Yala offers accommodation with a garden, free private parking, a restaurant and a bar. The property is situated 23 km from Situlpawwa, 38 km from Bundala Bird Sanctuary and 7.7 km from Kirinda Temple. The accommodation features a 24-hour front desk, airport transfers, room service and free WiFi throughout the property. Absolutely everything was perfect there! We have been recommending this place to everyone, it is not in the busy noisy center but near the Yala national park - you have lakes around and see many birds, buffalos and occasionally elephants drinking in the evening. The owner Shashika and his mom are the perfect host, they are super attentive, the food is amazing (mom cooking! We were even able to see the kitchen and everything is handmade). We went with Shashika on a walking tour which is part of the amenities offered, it’s so worth it! He is super knowledgeable about birds, animal tracks and very attentive to your security. I was with my 3 years old, he also helped carry him at the end of our walking tour. The dog accompanying us is your angel guard, going in front to make sure you are safe (he was very protective of my son). Finally the place you stay, it’s clean, very good standards, you feel like you are integrated in nature - every details has been thought about: the handmade wooden chairs, the little deck with a little pond all around with fishes and frogs, the handmade cutlery, the oiled light fired at night… we didn’t stay in the tree house but it was equally nice, you still have a tree in the shower, a great fan and you have a tree for the shade. It feels like you sleep in the jungle with the surrounding noises, it’s super peaceful! We loved this place and it will be on top of our list if we come back to SL! They are building two new places also with private swimming pools - it’s going to be magical! They all have their privacy so you really feel you are alone!
