Cinnamon Wild Yala, formerly known as Chaaya Wild Yala, is a haven of nature and comfort next to Yala National Park, offering an immersive experience in one of Sri Lanka’s most iconic settings. Located between the jungle and the beach, the resort features rustic yet elegant chalets built with warm woods and artisanal touches, all equipped with modern amenities for a comfortable stay.

Some villas offer ocean views, while others are surrounded by lush vegetation, allowing guests to wake to the sound of exotic birds or the occasional presence of wildlife. The design enhances the connection with nature, creating a relaxing and authentic atmosphere after daily adventures.

The resort also stands out for its dining options. The main restaurant, Tuskers, combines local recipes with international cuisine in a welcoming setting. Pugmarks Bar, with its semi-open style, is perfect for relaxing after a safari, while the terrace-top Peacock Bar offers sunset cocktails with panoramic views of the jungle and ocean.

Experiences organized by the hotel are an essential part of the stay. From sunrise safaris to spot leopards, elephants, and a variety of birds, to exclusive dinners in the heart of nature under the stars, each activity immerses visitors in Yala’s wild spirit.

Facilities include an outdoor pool surrounded by nature and common areas designed for rest and contemplation of the landscape. The occasional presence of elephants, wild boars, or buffalo nearby is a reminder that this is a place where luxury and wildlife coexist in harmony.
