Hilton Yala Resort

Located directly on the wild southern fringe of Yala National Park where the dry forest touches the crashing waves of the Indian Ocean, Hilton Yala Resort is a premier luxury safari lodge that combines Hilton's signature hospitality with the untouched excitement of Sri Lanka's wildlife frontier.

Contemporary Safari Villas & Private Pools

The resort offers 42 exquisitely styled guest rooms, suites, and private villas designed to harmonize with the coastal landscape. Ground-floor villas feature private outdoor plunge pools, shaded daybeds, and private gardens where spotted deer and wild peafowl roam. Inside, natural earth tones, bespoke timber furnishings, deep soaking bathtubs, and large picture windows connect guests intimately with the wilderness.

Destination Dining Across the Dunes

Hilton Yala features three distinct culinary venues: Dhira, an all-day dining restaurant celebrating contemporary Asian and Sri Lankan flavors; Sandali, specializing in prime grilled meats and coastal seafood; and Vantara, a panoramic cocktail lounge overlooking the ocean. For unforgettable evenings, the resort arranges private lantern-lit dinners directly upon the coastal dunes under the star-strewn wilderness sky.

Naturalist Ranger Safaris & eforea Spa

Hilton's team of resident wildlife naturalists lead private custom 4x4 safaris into Yala's premier zones to track leopards, sloth bears, and wild elephant herds. Between game drives, guests can unwind at the full-service eforea Spa, enjoying restorative treatments that soothe tired muscles and rebalance the senses.
