There were many wonderful experiences to be had at Yakaduru Yala. We explored the forest areas and observed the farmers working in the chena fields of Sri Lanka. Climbing up to the treehouses was another highlight. When we needed a break, we enjoyed refreshing coconut shell tea from the chena. The people at Yakaduru were incredibly helpful and hospitable, ensuring we were always well taken care of with delicious food, drinks, and new adventures. One of our favorite experiences was Hoppers Night, where we got to cook and enjoy hoppers with the assistance of the staff. Additionally, we admired the traditional masks found throughout Yakaduru Yala, and appreciated the environmental focus evident in the buildings, tables, and walls.

We had an amazing stay at Nil Sisila Beach Resort Yala. The resort is located in the heart of a nature reserve, offering complete peace, abundant wildlife, and breathtaking scenery. Just 50 meters from a secluded, wild, and private beach, it truly feels like paradise. The hosts went above and beyond throughout our stay, taking care of every detail. They prepared delicious, generous, and beautifully presented meals that made us feel completely pampered. An unforgettable experience

It sounds like a wonderful place to stay, especially for nature enthusiasts looking to immerse themselves in the biodiversity and scenic landscapes near Yala National Park.

very nice location in the middle of green lush. The accommodation was spacious, very clean, had comfortable mattresses and was well equipped. even equipped with things as luxurious shower gel, shampoo and toothpaste. owners of the accommodation were very sweet, friendly and funny - they even made us a nice dinner last minute after a long day of safari. besides that we would definitely recommend their sri lankan breakfast, it was one of the best we had in 5 weeks of our holiday in sri lanka. thanks a lot for the nice stay ❤️
