Lovely villa located just next to Yala National park, which makes it very convenient for the Safari. The hosts were beyond kind, they helped us with everything and answered all our questions. The food was delicious, we couldn’t recommend it more. The villa was extremely clean and in the garden and surroundings you can easily spot a lot of animals (there is a river at a walkable distance with crocodiles!- a mini Yala ☺️

The cabana is really nice if you want to feel in the nature. The bed is very comfortable, there is a fancy fan that cools the room very well. The shower with sky view is a charm, and everything was clean. You will sleep at the light of the stars and glow worm. Impossible not to mention the amazing breakfast we had, big size and very delicious food, mix of sri lanka and western style. Also, Thysara the owner helped us organize a full day safari ar Yala and it was perfect. He brought a great driver and we saw the leopards and the bear, strongly recommended.

If you are looking for a place full of peace and quiet, this little paradise is just the thing. Hansa and his wife are lovely and helpful hosts who take very good care of you, making you feel at home. The food was really delicious and the beach was relaxing and so empty that you had it to yourself. The rooms are simple but have everything you need. We also booked a safari through him which went very well. We would have loved to stay longer as it was the best two days of our trip. Alessia

Such a peaceful, beautiful setting and the accomodation and food was superb for a camp setting, 5 star dining under the trees and stars. Staff were delightful and so happy to assist with anything and their knowledge of the area and its flora & fauna were exceptional. Highly recommend!!

Yala Jungle Haven, as its name imply, is quite a haven in the jungle. It is quite literally next to Yala National Park. So, the jungle hut is rustic, and my room have seen visitations from many frogs and geckos. You will hear many bird calls early in the morning, which is wonderful if you are into birding. But the best part is the owner Thushara, who is also a safari driver+guide. So if you book this accom, go with their safari! He is very experienced as evident in his driving and wildlife spotting skills. We had THREE (3) sightings of leopards and even a sloth bear! While wildlife sightings need the element of luck, one of the sighting of the leopard was initially spotted by him, so yes our vehicle was the first on the encounter. The sloth bear too. Needless to say, I had one of the best safari experience ever. Oh, their homecooked dinner is authentic curry & rice cooked by Thushara's parents :)

very nice location in the middle of green lush. The accommodation was spacious, very clean, had comfortable mattresses and was well equipped. even equipped with things as luxurious shower gel, shampoo and toothpaste. owners of the accommodation were very sweet, friendly and funny - they even made us a nice dinner last minute after a long day of safari. besides that we would definitely recommend their sri lankan breakfast, it was one of the best we had in 5 weeks of our holiday in sri lanka. thanks a lot for the nice stay ❤️
