Wild Lotus Yala

The property consists of a 3 bedroom villa and a one bedroom bungalow. Each bedroom is ensuite with bathtubs and outdoor rain showers that are full of tropical plants. Both the villa and bungalow have open plan living room/kitchens and private outdoor dining areas with large teak tables. Wild Lotus Yala is a great place to stay in Yala. The staff is super nice and detail-oriented, the villas are beautifully decorated and well equiped + the pool is surrounded by pure nature. Don't worry about the food because their chef cooks delicious meals. We stayed for 1 night but we would have stayed more if we could. We will for sure come back with our friends in our next trip to Sri Lanka, super recommended!

Richards Cabanas

Situated in Tissamaharama, Richards Cabanas is located amidst calming greenery and peaceful natural surroundings. It features an outdoor swimming pool and provides complimentary parking and free WiFi.

Yala and Bundala National Parks are less than than 20 km away. Kataragama Temples is 18 km. Mattala Rajapaksa International Airport 19 kms.Bundala National Park is 35 km away. I don't have a single bad thing to say about this place! I wish we'd booked more nights. If you can, get a cabana by the pool for ultimate relaxation vibes. It's clear the owners take pride in their establishment-- it's evident in all the details from the meticulously kept grounds to the beautifully plated food. Breakfast was YUM and the staff were so kind. We booked a full day safari through this place too and the drivers they work with are superb. Shawn (Sean?) was our driver and he went above and beyond to make sure we were comfortable and happy during the safari. What a day. Highly recommend staying here!
