Bordering Yala Wildlife Sanctuary and spanning 10 acres of jungle and miles of pristine beaches, Yala Village is a nature resort of untamed beauty on Sri Lanka's southernmost tip.

Location At Kirinda which borders the sacred wilderness of the Yala Wildlife sanctuary and the Indian Ocean at the southernmost tip of Sri Lanka. The Yala Village hotel is about 41/2 hours from Colombo airport, therefore we recommend an overnight stay on arrival and departure in Colombo or Mount Lavinia. Spanning 10 acres of jungle and endless miles of sandy beaches, Yala Village is a nature resort of untamed beauty and charm for those who like to be within a natural environment where animals and birds roam freely.

Facilities Head to the observation deck for a bird’s-eye view of the eco-friendly sanctuary or look out for wildlife while floating in the swimming pool overlooking the nearby lake. Embark on a safari, tour or excursion - you could go birdwatching or lake fishing - before dining at the restaurant and sipping cocktails at the poolside bar. There's also a souvenir shop.
