Great accommodation! We stayed in the little house which had everything we needed. The candlelit dinner was adorable (just wish we had the BBQ!) and the safari guide is amazing! The food is great all round, and there is also a lot more to do around the area than we previously thought! Perfect yala stay over.

Providing pool views, Yala Leopard Lodge in Yala provides accommodation, an outdoor swimming pool, a garden and a terrace.

Every unit features a private bathroom and bidet, air conditioning, a flat-screen TV and a fridge. For added convenience, the property can provide towels and bed linen for an extra charge.

This was the perfect location for our trip to the Yala reserve. I have recorded our impressions under separate cover as I feel this format does not allow us to do justice to the venue. I’m hoping you will be able to access the account by visiting the lodge online.

    The location was convenient for a safari, it took around 30/45mins to drive to the closest gate. The staff were really friendly and welcoming and greeted us with fresh juices. The outdoor aesthetics of the pool area surrounded by cabins was nice and there was plenty of sunbeds around the pool. Despite appearances, the rooms were clean and comfortable and the area was quiet.

    Loved the jungle, staff were so kind and looked after us brilliantly. BBQ was tasty, safari was fun, the doggies (and their puppies) and Chutti the Sri Lankan squirrel were great company during our stay. One of the team took us on a fence walk and that was great to feel the jungle and feel so isolated.

    Truly special hotel in the most natural setting. The staff are wonderful and keep all areas very clean. Atmospheric individual chalet rooms where monkeys often surprise you by jumping on the metal balcony roofs. The food is excellent- the best during our trip in Sri Lanka; high quality local and international options. The pool is lovely; although there don’t seem to be enough beds for the number of rooms, we didn’t have any problems getting some as most guests are out on safari.

    The camp itself is beautifully made with little paths between the huts and it’s nestled right by the national park so the drive to the safari is a short one. But what really made the stay extraordinary was the staff. Especially the Camp Host. He was an attentive, knowledgeable and just very friendly host. Others in the team were also always alert and helpful with any request. The rooms themselves were luxurious in an understated way and tastefully decorated.

    We loved our stay at Eden Yala. The effort and attention to detail from our kind and thoughtful hosts made it a very special 2 days. Sitting in front of the fire being served dinner as if in a top restaurant was wonderful. They recommended a full day safari and wow…what a day! We chose packed lunch, but had no idea it would be served in a fisherman’s hut on the beach, and with an elephant there! The tent was spacious and comfortable with a great outdoor bathroom, complete with friendly frogs!

    We had a wonderful stay at the Cinnamon wild and nothing was to much trouble for the staff. The beach cabin was absolutely lovely and it was amazing to have wildlife strolling off the beach and around the resort in the afternoon and evening. With in 5 minutes of us entering our room an elephant appeared outside, a great start! The food selection was very good and the experiences we booked through the hotel were exceptional (jeep ‘n jungle dinner and full day safari) we can’t thank the staff enough for making our stay so wonderful

    Was great to have the wildlife in the resort. The room was really nice (we stayed in the beach cabin). The buffet food was very good with lots of choice.
