Targeted Yaala, gives the African atmosphere, hoping to open a swimming pool next August. Amides concrete buildings Gaga bees Yala is a gem, we used over 90% eco friendly materials to built our property,natural clay, natural bricks,wood ,Palm leaves...etc. As we think ,some if some one come to visit Yala or Bundala they should stay in a natural location, In Gaga bees you can feel traditional Srilankan house experience and pure Srilankan food and famous Tissamaharama Mee kiri( Curd made from buffalo milk,) ,pol peni( coconut treacle ) For Our guest convenience we offer Air-conditioned mud chalets for our guest with king size comfortable bed, mini fridge,hot water,coffee/tea making facility,hot and cold water and private terrace for our ever chalets, And we have decorated our every chalets with Batiks,( curtains,pillows wall hangings,) clay items, and Woden things, and we have put stone pebbles for bathroom floor , if you can walk on pebbles it really good for your health, after wake up in the morning just walk about 2 minutes On pebbles surly it will give a sheer power to start your day freely.
Hotel Management Degree holder, hobies are hospitality, I studied in University of Gloucestershire while I was studying just worked for for Heathrow Marriott as a steward and house keeper, as trust I'm the only young hotel owner earned a hospitality degree from world class university in Yala and Tissamaharama area. As well as I have worked for crown plaza hotel also( Heathrow ).through those things I earned lot of good things specially for hospitality, trust have a good idea about foreigners ,and there thoughts, and needs.
Our every chalets face a big rice field, we just located in a beautifully Srilankan village, still it has traditional industries like agriculture( rice,seeds and vegetables ,fruits),cow farm,river fishing, it will be a good village experience for you , as well as you can find lot of birds around here.
