It was probably our best stay in Sri Lanka. Also the villa and rooms were really beautiful, comfortable, with perfect air condition and strong wifi. Absolutely recommend and hope we will return in future!

Basecamp - Yala features mountain views, free WiFi and free private parking, located in Yala, 15 km from Situlpawwa. 22 km from Tissa Wewa and 47 km from Bundala Bird Sanctuary, the property provides a garden and a bar. The campground has family rooms.

Kataragama Temple is 4.6 km from the campground, while Ranminitenna Tele Cinema Village is 16 km away. The nearest airport is Mattala Rajapaksa International Airport, 38 km from Basecamp - Yala.

First ask yourself what is the reason you want to be here - if you are here for the nature alone, Nilantha is the best person you can stay with and who you SHOULD take as a guide with you to the safari. He has a degree in biology , fluent English and knows so much about the local fauna and flora so a full day safari doesn’t get boring (which I can imagine can if you only take a driver with you). He is a true believer in ecotourism and is giving back to local communities. If you are here for a fancy dinner and facilities, go somewhere else. This is a simple stay in the jungle. And one more thing to add - your guide is not responsible for how many animals you’ll see BUT we were lucky and he for sure knows some spots where they MIGHT appear. And last but not least- Nilantha is a great and nice person we had a chance to meet :)

Located in Yala in the Hambantota District region, Nil Sisila Beach Resort Yala provides accommodation with free private parking.

A à la carte breakfast is available daily at the bed and breakfast.

A terrace can be found at Nil Sisila Beach Resort Yala, along with a garden.

We spent two nights in this little resort at a lonely beach right next to Yala NP. We just wanted to relax and enjoy the natural surroundings. You can stroll along the long beach, collect shells and watch the sea birds. The owner Hansa and his assistant and cook made us feel very comfortable and served us delicious meals and great breakfasts with big fruit plates, once even the Sri Lankan style breakfast. The curries and the fish dishes were outstanding and very tasty! It was a three-course meal every evening cooked just for us! The price for these meals was absolutely okay for us. Hansa is a very knowledgeable person who can tell you a lot of interesting things about life in Sri Lanka if you ask him. We especially enjoyed sleeping outside on the big porch where there are three beds to relax in during day and night. The unforgettable highlight of our stay, however, was watching an elephant at about four o’clock in the morning, eating some leaves from his favorite tree next to the main house and then passing silently by the veranda where we were breathless (and a little nervous) onlookers!

    I booked Yakaduru for a one-night safari experience, but it offered much more. Climbing into a treehouse offered breathtaking views of Yala, chena fields, the village, and the beach. The outdoor BBQ dinner was an addition to my experiences. Overall, Yakaduru provided memorable experiences beyond my expectations.

    We went to Yakaduru for a safari experience and had a good time. Specifically, the safari and village visit were the best. Experiencing traditional village, including visits to chena mud houses and tree houses, was also nice. We loved having lunch during the safari. Also we booked a BBQ for 2 people, which had a lot of different foods. Overall, we had a happy and valuable time thanks to Yakaduru.

    Perfect location and amazing villas I can’t believe they are not booked up the whole time. The staff go above and beyond and took us on a tour to a local fisherman village where we ended up seeing so many animals, took us on sunset walks to the local beach and on the last night we had a torch lit dinner it was absolutely perfect. The villa itself was so clean and spacious and the food was some of the best we have had in Sri Lanka. Couldn’t recommend more.

    These villas are amazing! Plenty of room for our family of five. Small property (only two villas) with very attentive service and fantastic manager and staff. Food was great and the surroundings are truly unique - a short trip to Yala and a short walk to the beach (although not safe to swim at the closest one - which was fine as a it was a lovely walk and view.
