Wild Culture Yala

What an amazing small boutique safari lodge. We had a suite room which was large and beautifully furnished with all amenities. Swam daily in the pool which is very large and surrounded by an assortment of loungers. Upul looked after us in an outstanding way and couldn't have done more to make us feel welcome. He even prepared some chilli paste for us to take home as he knew we liked spice. We had two days of safari with Camp Leopard and had great sightings including two leopards and a rock python. Definitely our favourite place to stay in Sri Lanka and highly recommend visiting.

Hidden away we found this oasis of peace and tranquility, for our stay in the Yala National Park, we were greeted with an ice cold fruit juice and were taken to our amazing rooms, the swimming pool is a little way away from the main building so would not disturb anyone wanting to rest, the bar was at the pool and the range of food and beverages was great, also you could have a go at shooting archery and mini-golf all free. The staff were very attentive without being obtrusive and made us feel welcome at all time, the choice of food was varied and good, we ordered a pack breakfast as we were leaving for the safari at 5.30 am, which was delicious, we would recommend this hotel.

A beautiful hotel within a stunning setting. We have stayed in quite a few hotels in Sri Lanka and This hotel is certainly the best for the charming, funny and genuinely lovely staff. Very close to Yala national park. Huge rooms clean as a whistle.

Amazing from the start, Nothing was too much Trouble for your lovely Staff, Soo Acomadating, The Service, Food And Such Wonderful Surroundings, Like A Sanctuary, Such a pleasure to Stay here , A Special Mention for the lovely Guy in the Restaurant, Unfortunately I didn't get his name And also For Shehan and Dimuthy , Thank You.

We left Wild Culture hotel this morning and were absolutely blown away by this hidden gem. Located 20 mins drive from the Yala safari, we found our Sri Lankan paradise! The setting is just breathtaking overlooking a rice paddy field. Only 8 rooms - our rooms 1 and 2 were like giant suites, fitted out with the most beautiful, modern decor and high spec fittings. Absolutely stunning. Beautiful pool area with beds, loungers, bar area and dining area where we were served our own private dinner. Food was great… we were staying half board.. you pick from a menu in afternoon for dinner ( lots of choices - fresh fish, meats, lots of vegetarian choices and kids menu) and agree a time and they serve you in the open air .. feels like a private dinner party. We loved the tuna, salmon and pad Thai. Gorgeous desserts too. Breakfast similar arrangement- you pick the night before. Even thoughtful touches like packing a picnic hamper of biscuits and cold drinks for our safari. Archery and other activities on site, The best of all was the staff. They made us feel so welcome and couldn’t do enough to make our stay perfect. Could not recommend more highly. Views, staff, luxurious and modern rooms.

Ideal location to stay for the local safari options. Good food and lovely pool. The room was large and they had prepared a second bed for us to make it into a twin. Luxurious main bed but the extra single was too hard. Local wildlife very close . Staff efficient but not quite as welcoming as in other places we stayed in Sri Lanka.
