Situated in Tanamalwila, 34 km from Udawalawe National Park and 26 km from Tissa Wewa, Thanamal-villa features accommodation with air conditioning and access to a garden with a barbecue.

Really enjoyed our one night stay here. Owner was really friendly. It’s a one horse town but we had a great night in the local pub with the locals.

Set in Kataragama in the Monaragala District region, with Kataragama Temple nearby, Wadula Safari - Yala offers accommodation with free WiFi and free private parking.

Extremely helpful and friendly staff. Great location close to the entrance of the park. Excellent safari was organised. Lovely setting in a forest near a lake and with animals in the vicinity. Was very peaceful. Clean comfortable rooms. Very authentic experience - vegetarian Sri Lankan food. I'm a meat eater but really enjoyed the different experience. Recommend the Biryani. Was great for the kids to experience something different and also not have unlimited access to WIFI! There is wifi near the kitchen but not in the rooms but good mobile coverage.

Yala Village Eco Tree House has garden views, free WiFi and free private parking, situated in Tissamaharama, 10 km from Tissa Wewa.

We had an amazing stay! The team was incredibly accommodating and generous—surprising us with a free upgrade and always ready to help, even with last-minute requests like organizing a safari and a fishing trip. The food was delicious, and Jula, who manages the house, was both precise and friendly. Dimuthu and his family were attentive and always willing to go the extra mile to meet our needs. Highly recommend this place for a relaxing and well-organized getaway.

    Big comfortable double room. Loved the pool. I didn’t realise it was so close to the entrance to block 6 of Yala National Park and that the property had a young man studying the natural environment who would have guided us through the wildlife, birds and vegetation of Yala. We had already booked a safari going in at block 1 which proved to be very busy,

    Lovely small family run hotel set in nature, 5 minutes drive outside Yala National park. Friendly and helpful staff. Helped us organise transport and safari. Nice restaurant with good breakfast and dinner options. Staff even prepared us a breakfast box to take with us as we left early on our last day. Nice rooms with AC and pool.

    The host/owner, Anne, takes care of every single person or group that books the accommodation. Her English is great. Best English speaker we met in Sri Lanka. The rooms are comfortable with a lot of attention to detail. We did a safari tour and a boat ride, both organized by Anne on the day of arrival. All worked out very pleasantly and smoothly. Would recommend this stay!

    I had the best and tastiest srilankan food here. Anne is an amazing host, she took care of us and prepared snacks for our safari trip. She also arranged the safari for us and a boat tour but unfortunately it was raining. We can see alot of birds and wild animals around too.

    Tranquil Wild is perfectly located to explore the quieter side of Yala National Park. We had an amazing bird watching safari and saw around 40 local species in one afternoon. Ann, the owner, is on hand and was really warm and friendly. The food was humble, delicious and perfect for the setting. The rooms are really spacious and well appointed. We loved our stay and will be back.

    The lodge is a stone throw away from the entrance to the National Park. It is located next to a pretty lake with plenty of birds, monkeys and buffalo herds. Of course we did a safari with an excellent nature guide, seeing an abundance of bird species, plenty of elephants, monkeys, deer and crocodiles. We also made pleasant walks along the lake and through the woods and countryside past the lake. It has a refreshing swimming pool.
