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. It was such a fabulous stay. The tent was very comfortable and we were not too hot at all. The food was delicious. My favourite was the rice. The chef Jayalath did an amazing job and breakfast too was delicious. Madushan looked after us really well. Always with a smile and happy to help with everything. They arranged the safari for us which was fantastic. Supan our driver was all over it. Safe driver. He spotted things that only a trained eye would. He was friendly and fun. Highly recommend. Jayalath cooked us an amazing packed lunch. Eating outside by the campfire with oil lights was fabulous. We even had a crocodile who liked our left overs. The two dogs onsite were amazing. I really felt they protected the children especially. If they walked somewhere one or both dogs went with them. They slept on our porch at night. We were just charmed.

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. We had an exceptional stay at Tranquil Wild. The room was spotlessly clean, and the furniture was tastefully decorated. We were given a free room upgrade. The property's beautiful lake in front added to its charm. The Western and Sri Lankan food we enjoyed during our stay was outstanding. The owner of the property is very kind and personally ensures that guests are comfortable. She helped us book a Yala safari with a professional naturalist. We will definitely return. This property is a gem, and with the first-class service of the staff, there's no need to look further. We highly recommend staying at this property if you plan to visit Block 5 in Yala, as it is closer to Block 5.

Offering garden views, Green Nest Yala in Kirinda offers accommodation, an outdoor swimming pool, a garden, a shared lounge, a terrace and a restaurant. The lodge features both WiFi and private parking free of charge. Our stay at Green Nest Yala was a wonderful experience. You are in the Sri Lankan bush, surrounded by nature! The site is full of native herbal trees giving it that lush bush feel. The main lounge/ dining area and the lovely swimming pool overlook a lake. The sunsets over the lake are really pretty. The manager is such a lovely person. He was incredibly attentive and really friendly. He made sure that we had everything we needed and that we were happy. He couldn't do more to ensure our stay was perfect. He took us for a walk to the lake at sunset and he pointed out the many crocodiles that live there!! He also pointed out many other animals and birds that live here including monkeys, rabbits, peacocks, squirrels, chameleons, lizards, large ants, water buffalo and eagles. Sometimes a wild elephant may even pass by. There are hundreds of different birds enjoying the trees at Green Nest Yala. We stayed for two relaxing nights and enjoyed all our meals here which were home cooked by the manager and truly very delicious! Our bedroom was basic but very clean and tidy. There is quiet AC and hot water. The main lodge is a great space to sit and relax. We really enjoyed the swimming pool. Oh, and the sun beds are the best! We were the only guests for most of our stay so we had the run of this delightful place to ourselves. Thank you so much for making our stay so memorable!
