Koragaha Lodge - Yala, hotel in Tissamaharama

Offering a restaurant, Koragaha Lodge - Yala provides a 24-hour front desk for the convenience of the guests. The air-conditioned accommodation will provide you with work desk and seating area.

Koragaha Lodge in Yala Park was an unforgettable experience from start to finish. From the moment we arrived, Hadley and his team made us feel incredibly welcome. The lodge itself was beautiful, with luxurious, clean rooms and stunning grounds full of life. One of the highlights was arriving to see a troop of monkeys feasting on mangoes right from the trees - a wonderful start to our stay. Wildlife was abundant, and we thoroughly enjoyed watching the various birds and animals while relaxing by the pool. We also booked a full-day safari through the hotel, which turned out to be perfect. The jeep and driver were excellent, and we opted to have a naturalist (Sami) join us - a choice we’d highly recommend. His expertise was invaluable, as he spotted animals we never would have seen on our own and shared fascinating insights throughout the day. We felt incredibly lucky to witness two leopards, including one on the hunt, which led to some amazing photos and videos. The culinary experience was another highlight, with the lodge’s chef providing delicious meals throughout our two-night stay. The only regret was not staying longer! Koragaha Lodge is truly a gem, combining luxury with an intimate connection to nature. Highly recommend to anyone visiting Yala.

Yala Village Eco Tree House, hotel in Tissamaharama

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

This majestic treehouse is a very cool experience for travelers and wanderers! It is located outside the city, in a very peaceful and quiet area! Everything resembles nature, the house is wooden and very comfortable! The beds have mosquito protection, very important for keeping insects off you! The shower is open, with no roof, so that you can actually stare at the stars or the sun! Our breakfast was adequately enjoyed and the housekeepers were lovely! If you’re afraid of bugs and you want to challenge yourself, I would definitely recommend staying there since you’re actually in the woods, experiencing a more natural environment!

Vallee 69 Eco Villa, hotel in Tissamaharama

Providing garden views, Vallee 69 Eco Villa in Tissamaharama provides accommodation, free bikes, an outdoor swimming pool, a garden, a shared lounge and a terrace.

I would like to thank host Abey for assisting me in all my needs whether it was bicycle which he kindly provided me with his own or pot of tea at any time. They also cleaned a pool for me upon my arrival. Abey also provided a lunch box for safari. The location is very quiet but a bit far from lakes and sites.

Single Trees Yala, hotel in Tissamaharama

Situated in Palatupana in the Hambantota District region, Single Trees Yala features accommodation with free private parking. There is a fully equipped private bathroom with bidet and free toiletries....

I would describe my stay at Single Trees Yala as more of an immersive experience than a hotel stay, which I think is why most people would book a treehouse stay near a national park anyways! The staff couldn't do enough for you, they served me an enormous dinner when I arrived (although granted there was only one option) and had a lovely breakfast laid out for me when I returned from my safari tour. The views from the treehouse were stunning, it definitely felt as if you were immersed in your environment. The lack of wifi wasn't even an issue because it's well stated before booking but the hosts will happily hotspot you if you need anything urgent. Overall it was a mixed experience but I've detailed some factors in the improvements section which I feel like if addressed, would make this more of an 8/10 stay rather than a 4.

Jetwing Jungle Lodge, hotel in Tissamaharama

Featuring air conditioning, Jetwing Jungle Lodge is set amidst the immediate outskirts of the Yala National Park. Kataragama is 21 km from the property. Free WiFi is offered.

This is the most worthwhile hotel on our Sri Lanka trip! The photos cannot fully capture the comfort and beauty of the hotel! The wooden cottage we lived in was located in the forest and was very comfortable! The hotel and the other side of Jetwing Yala share a buffet and beach bar. The staff is very friendly! No matter what our needs are, the staff comes to serve us immediately. The food at Jungle Hotel is delicious! This is definitely a place worth coming back to!

    Great location for a Yala safari. We chose the chalet which is a mini lodge on stilts(see picture). We loved it, as it looked over the river and the pool. First day we got there we saw two types of kingfisher, hornbill, flying peacock, monitor lizard, and a troop of monkeys travelling through the trees on the opposite bank. Staff lovely.

    Our stay at koragaha lodge was perfect. They organised several safaris for us and went above and beyond to make sure we had an unforgettable time with a brilliant guide and driver. The rooms and whole setting was beautiful and so well thought out. Praveen and his team offer an outstanding level of service which we haven’t encountered elsewhere at this level. My sister required gluten free meals and they made dishes especially for her dietary requirements with no hassle. Thank you for the most amazing couple of days!

    Amazon Cabanas is a hidden gem. Our lodge was really lovely. It had a lovely big bathroom, very comfortable bed and a lovely veranda where we sat enjoying the incredible beauty and peacefulness of their gorgeous garden. The couple were delightful and super helpful and friendly. On our 2nd night we arrived back very tired from a full day safari at Yala National Park. The couple brought us a lovely tray of coffee and home made cake. It's been our favourite place to stay in Sri Lanka and would really highly recommend.

    Staff are amazing and more than willing to help and just have a conversation. Damien was our guide for our safaris (which the Lodge booked and arranged for us) and Damien was just brilliant. Highly recommend requesting him if you do any safaris and get a guide. Would come back and stay again.

    We had a lovely time at Koragaha Lodge. The photos don’t do the place justice! We loved our spacious room with a patio and enjoyed the Sri Lankan food we had. Praveen was great at organising our safari trip and giving us tips throughout our stay. He helped iron out any issues we had during our stay. Thank you!

    Brilliant location not far from Yala national park. Lodges are nicely spaced out to enjoy a peaceful stay. Praveen was excellent and gave us lots of tips, including how to cook some Sri Lankan food. Make sure you spend an evening walking to the nearby lake to enjoy all the wildlife. We had a great time and wish we'd stayed longer.

    Wonderful lodge in a perfect spot to start a Yala Safari. Very nice staff, spotlessly clean, spacious rooms with huge terraces, pleasant pool, excellent breakfast (we had Singhalese breakfast, which is a great treat if you like local food from Sri Lanka).
