Located in Yala, 6.6 km from Tissa Wewa and 24 km from Bundala Bird Sanctuary, Ranakeliya Lodge - Yala provides accommodation with free WiFi, air conditioning, a garden and a terrace.

The breakfast offers à la carte, Full English/Irish or Asian options. At the lodge you will find a restaurant serving Chinese, British and Indian cuisine. Vegetarian, dairy-free and halal options can also be requested. What a great place to stay if you’re planning a safari in Yala National Park. You can also book a safari through them. We had the pleasure of staying at their newest tent (they currently have 3 of them and some lodges). The tent is very large offers everything you need, there’s a fan, lots of wall sockets, two beds, water cooker and a bathroom attached. There’s no warm water, but you will need the cool shower :) the climate is always hot and humid. Sleeping in the tent at night with the blinds open was very comfortable. Also, there’s lots of peacocks around, it is a joy to watch them from the tent. They recently completed a new area for breakfast which looks fantastic and is very spacious. Everything around the place felt very high-class, which we did not expect, especially at this price point. The staff was extremely attentive and adjusted to your needs (e.g. breakfast time for safari). We felt like in a 5-star hotel :)

Set in Kataragama in the Monaragala District region, with Kataragama Temple nearby, Wadula Safari - Yala offers accommodation with free WiFi and free private parking.

Situlpawwa is 15 km from the lodge, while Tissa Wewa is 19 km from the property. Mattala Rajapaksa International Airport is 35 km away. Wadula Safari was amazing. We were greeted by the friendliest staff, taken for a walk around the jungle (where we saw monkeys, all kinds of birds, and lizards), and then served a delicious dinner. The room is spacious, clean and comfortable with amenities like coffee, tea, powerful AC and a modern bathroom. They also arranged a wonderful safari with a guide, and helped us speak with and find our taxi driver.

With pool views, Tranquil Wild is located in Tanamalwila and has a restaurant, room service, snack bar, garden, year-round outdoor pool and terrace.

Guests at the lodge can enjoy darts on site, or cycling in the surroundings. The location, quality of the rooms and bathroom. The staff were all brilliant. We really enjoyed the safari organised by the hotel, it was good value and well worth paying a little extra for the guide. Also enjoyed the boat ride on the lake next to the properly.
