Five-Star Hotels in Yala

O2 villas was a fantastic property, well maintained and beautifully built with nature and concrete blending together to give a magical atmosphere. Staff were extremely courteous and made you feel at home from the start. Food was sumptuous and fresh, very tasty and in large portions that we were so full and they provided freshly made juice and fruits that we have throughout the day. Rooms were spotless and having just a couple of villas in the property made the service very personal. Staff would play wiht my kids, take us on buggy rides where we saw so many animals, visited the dunes with us and stayed till sunset. Basically any wish gets fulfilled. Madhwa and staff were great hosts and I am very glad to have stayed 3 nights. There was enough to keep us entertained. I only regret not staying at other o2 properties in our Sri Lanka trip.

The property is exactly as described and even though there is only one restaurant - the options are plenty - we were so stuffed with the great food (kudos to the chef) and the service was exemplary. The tents are luxurious and very tastefully furnished.

The standard of rooms and facilities and most importantly the staff are amazing.

We took a quick R&R trip to Sri Lanka and spent 3 nights at a tea estate in Nuwara Eliya before heading to Uga Chena for another 3 nights. While the 5-star tea estate was lovely, we found ourselves wishing we had spent all 6 days at Uga Chena—it was that fantastic! -------- Location: 10/10 Uga Chena offers the best of both worlds: a beautiful beach and proximity to a wildlife sanctuary. What more could you ask for? Accommodation: 10/10 The hotel is stunning with big beautiful well appointed rooms, the bed linens used are of high quality. With your full package, the rooms are always well stocked and have everything you'll need to have a comfortable stay. Every time we came back from breakfast, lunch and dinner - our rooms would have been made up! We never had to tell the reception even once that we need house-keeping! As soon as we'd step out of our rooms, it would seem that magically, little elves would go and tidy up your rooms! So that when you got back, you'd have cool, clean and refreshed rooms! Management: 10/10 Not just the rooms though, be it the bar area, dining areas, beach and sundowner areas or even be it the walkaways to your room - all are cleaned and raked and well maintained - but never so that you feel you're in an artificially manicured place. It's all natural and beautiful! This property is extremely well-managed and maintained. Food: 10/10 Chef Nuwan was so good - not only was our dining experience fantastic but Chef was so gracious and accommodating! You could ask for something that's off the menu and he'd whip it out for you! Everything from breakfast, to lunch, sundowners and dinners - all were fantastic! Staff: 11/10!!! Staff made this place so much more special! They were just fantastic! It sounds impossible, but not one staff member gave us a reason to complain! Everyone was so polite, friendly and efficient! No matter your ask, they catered to it, and that too always with a smile!

absolutely outstanding location. Was there for four nights and the food, staff, ambience, and location was superb.

Lovely stay in Wild Trails Yala by Suri! The hotel is located extremely close to Yala National Park down a dust covered bumpy road! You really feel like you are in the middle of the jungle! The tent accommodation is beautifully designed and feels like luxury! Goshie, the hotel manager, could not have been more helpful! He was so attentive and we learned so much from him about Sri Lanka in general but also about Yala National Park. Goshie organised everything for us from onwards transportation to both an evening and morning safaris. Pathum, our driver, was fantastic, he was so knowledgeable about the animals in Yala and tried his best to ensure we got to experience the best of Yala National Park! We were lucky enough to spot a leopard on both drives thank you Pathum!

The staff was excellent, helping out with bags, providing towels for the pool and beach. As well, as the staff working at the restaurant, very nice and helpful.

This place is very freeing and attractive, The staff is also very friendly and the rooms are clean. A very suitable place for couples, families, friends and solo travel. I recommend this hotel🍃

We were warmly welcomed from the very start by the incredible team. They did everything they could to give us a memorable stay, from the delicious food (best we had in Sri Lanka and very generous portions), the impeccable service, informative safari and excellent facilities and special touches (star gazing from the impressive viewing platform). Communication was excellent and we really felt so well looked after and had such a special time at Makini Bush Camp. We were so sad to leave and would definitely come back and would recommend to anymore!

The chef did very well. Thank you for a super romantic and awsome dinner!
