Set in Yala, 42 km from Situlpawwa, Flameback Eco Lodge features concierge services and free WiFi. Each accommodation at the 5-star hotel has lake views, and guests can enjoy access to an outdoor infinity pool. Local and American dishes are served at the in-house restaurant. We stayed at the new Villa. That was perfect for family since it’s huge two story villa and has a private pool. Initially I was bit nervous because there were almost no information about this villa. But we recognized that’s because this facility opened in the end of this month (Dec. 2024). Once my family arrived at this villa, we were immediately fascinated by this villa and great hospitality of the staff. I can recommend this although the gramping camp sites should be also good. In addition, location is good. We can enjoy game safaris for both Yala National Park and Udawalawe National Park since it’s located between both national parks. Finally, I was very satisfied with the email communication with Ms. Sonali Lowe (Manager - Sales & Reservations) prior to our stay, as it was both prompt and precise.

Enjoying views of Tissa Lake from all its modern rooms, The Safari is located in Tissamaharama. A 20-minute drive from Yala National Park, it has an outdoor pool with lake view and free Wi-Fi.

Decorated in warm shades of brown, the air-conditioned rooms are equipped with a flat-screen satellite TV and rainshower facilities. Each also comes with a personal safe and minibar. It’s a beautiful place though smaller than one would imagine looking at the photos. But our stay was comfortable. The staff was very accommodating and gave us excellent support and service.

Offering an outdoor swimming pool, Hotel Tamarind Tree is located just 1.5 km from the beautiful Tissa Wewa and 2 km from Tissamaharama City. Free WiFi access is available.

Each air-conditioned room here will provide you with a minibar, seating area with sofa and cable TV. Featuring a bath or shower, private bathroom comes with a hairdryer and a bidet. You can enjoy pool view from the balcony. We loved the location of this hotel. It was beautiful. Our main purpose was to go for Safari, and this hotel is perfectly located from Yala National Park. They even packed us breakfast at 5am, so we can take it with us to Safari. We spent an afternoon at the pool, (and had it all to ourselves which was also a bonus). The food was great, and we had the buffet there. The staff were all amazing. Everyone that worked there, were quite young, but incredibly professional, polite and kind, and they all really went out of their way to help us.
