Spread across 2 acres of lakefront property, Wild Lotus Yala is set in a quiet rural village close to Yala National Park. The property features an outdoor swimming pool and free bikes to explore the surrounding village. Wild Lotus is fully staffed and the rate includes services of a private chef, guests can order from a thoughtfully crafted menu.

A wonderful place in the middle of nature. Access by car is difficult, but totally worth it. It was nice that a bigger Safari car was organized to meet us on the way. The manager (Gamini) is very accommodating and super friendly. We stayed Deluxe Bungalow - An incredibly specious villa. The whole area is very quiet and surrounded by beautiful nature. The property even has its own observation tower where you can enjoy the sunset in the evening and the sunrise in the morning. The food was delicious and wonderful. The BBQ bonfire dinner was very special and memorable. A perfect place to stay if you want to go on a Yala Safari. Safari offered by the hotel is a bit expensive, so consider different options if possible. All in all.. A nice place to stay in Sri Lanka for sure.

Very clean room and bathroom. Everything was very clean. The host was very welcoming and received us with wood apple juice. The room was exactly as described, with a good AC working perfectly and hot shower. The room was spacious, the breakfast was good and enough to start the day. For the day with the safari, the host provided breakfast when getting back, which was very nice. The homemade dinner was very tasty and abundant. Also the host helped us to take the bus nearby the accommodation. Highly recommended if you go to Tissa and want a peaceful place to stay. The only minus could be that WiFi works well outside, in the room the signal is weak.

    We really liked the Wild Lotus villa. The hosts were very welcoming and very helpful in arranging our safari. The food was very good and the kids loved the place. The kids were taught cricket, we went to see goats and chicks, swam at the beach and enjoy a wonderful sunset. Wonderful nature. We felt as if we had come to our own family. We had many meaningful conversations about life. We would definitely have liked to stay there longer. We miss you all! Greetings from Estonia

The house has a very warm feeling to it, we loved that it was almost just us in the property. The nature is beautiful and you can see that everything has been thought through with love. The food was very good and our children loved the place and wished we could have stayed longer.

We are so pleased we had a full day at the pool. The staff organised a full day safari for us. Patty was our driver and he was incredible! We had the best day and were so lucky to see 4 leopards!! We will always remember our time here.
