Tree Tops Yala, hotel in Yala

Providing pool views, Tree Tops Yala in Yala provides accommodation, an outdoor swimming pool, a garden, a terrace and a restaurant. The lodge features both WiFi and private parking free of charge.

We had an amazing stay at this beautiful house in Yala! The staff was incredibly attentive and made sure we were well taken care of throughout our stay. The house is very spacious, clean, and modern—perfect for our group of 10 people. The food was delicious, all prepared by the staff, which made our experience even more relaxing. The pool was stunning, and being surrounded by nature made the experience even more special. We spotted monkeys, peacocks, a variety of birds, and even a monitor lizard! Another great advantage is that the house is located just 15 minutes from the entrance of Yala Safari Park, making it super convenient for our excursions. Overall, it was a peaceful and unique getaway, and the staff’s care and attention made it truly memorable. Highly recommend this place!

Jetwing Jungle Lodge, hotel in Yala

Providing garden views, Jetwing Jungle Lodge in Yala provides accommodation, a garden, a private beach area, a terrace, a restaurant and a bar. Free WiFi is provided.

The room was in a lovely setting. Staff was excellent. As we were a family and we’re short on time, I called before I reached the hotel to order our lunch so that we could immediately leave for the safari and it was ready and well taken care of . Mr. Ramesh Buddika organised all we needed most efficiently.

Single Trees Yala, hotel in Yala

Situated in Palatupana in the Hambantota District region, Single Trees Yala features accommodation with free private parking. Some units have a seating area and/or a balcony.

Not much. it was completely overpriced for what it was. The rooms are shacks, with dirty mattresses, stained blankets, no hygiene at all. There is nothing against simplicity, but this clearly was not acceptable. Even a simple tree House can be kept relatively clean. The staff was really friendly and helpful, but that’s it. Not much more positive to say about this place.

Yala Village Eco Tree House, hotel in Yala

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

Great value for money. Also book your Safari to yala through the hostel. They have connections with the best guides. Let your host know what meals you need when you arrive. He can organise delivery or his wife makes beautiful traditional food. Also your host gives you a wake up call for your Safari. Very helpful to organise taxi to your next location or can give you tuk tuk to bus stop. Just give your host some notice. I also stayed at their other property for one night (Riverside Cabana in Tissamaharama) Perfect for a complete private tree experience. Beautiful river view. Wonderful food. Great owner who will organise your safari tours and is passionate about wildlife also.

    The staff was perfect, I can only say that the experience was perfect. We were there for a night to attend a safari. We asked the staff a day before, he managed to do it, they book online ticket for us so it’s was faster than the other jeeps. The dinner and the breakfast under the tree is amazing and beautiful ! If you want to live a real safari experience this is the lodge ! We are two French people and we can guarantee that the tent is clean, AC helps a lot and the shower is beautiful 😍 Thanks again for your kindness !

    The perfect place for an authentic safari glamping experience - sitting out under the stars at night and listening to the sounds of nature. The lodge is run by a lovely family who are friendly and professional. They also cook delicious food so I highly recommend having a candlelit dinner at the lodge!

    Boutique safari style hotel, reminiscent of an expensive African lodge. Quiet location on the edge of rice paddies with only 8 guest rooms. Fantastic pool and bar area. Large rooms and bed. Nothing too much trouble for the staff, they were all very eager to please. A stunning property with only a few guests.

    We stayed in the tented lodge for one night. The lodge is amazing. It is beautifully built, very clean with mosquito nets on every entrance and window. The open air bathroom rounded up the glamping experience. There is electricity and even wifi in the tents. We booked two safaris and one starlight BBQ. The safari organisation went smooth and the guides were really good. The dinner was outstanding and one of our highlights of the whole vacation. The owners are super friendly. Would definately recommend!

    The lodge is really nice and well aligned with nature - beautiful view from the rock just beside of the main building. Very quite - just nature sounds. There is also a small and warm temperatured pool that invites to relax after a safari day in the yala national park. The staff is really friendly and supportive - always smiling. We really liked it here.

    Unbeatable location, right next to a beautiful secluded beach and only 15 minute drive from Yala national park. The hosts are fantastic and have created a very special place, we felt like guests rather than clients. The home cooked dinner was amazing (likely the best culinary experience we’ve had during hotel stays), and it’s very nice to be able to chat with other guests lodging at the resort. Hosts can also help arrange safaris (but you can book directly, if preferred). I loved it so much that we came back twice :) can only recommend!

    Everything is fantastic! We stayed here for two nights while going on safari in Yala with the all inclusive package. The staff at the Lodge were wonderful, and gave us everything we needed. The meals were delicious with lots of different menu options to choose from. The room was clean and comfortable with good aircon. The pool was also great. The perfect place to stay in Yala!

    This lovely lodge was like your own little house. It was near to the owners house so you felt safe but had a lovely rustic feel with lots of nature surrounding you. Very clean and good size bed. Air conditioning was great. Family and owner were extremely friendly and welcoming. They cooked amazing authentic food. The bbq under the stars was a fabulous touch. Great proximity to Yala National park for a safari. The lodge arranged everything.
