The South East

A rugged and wild part of the island, this region is a haven for flora and fauna, especially in Yala. The beaches - long and windswept, with dangerous currents and crashing waves (no swimming allowed) – are backed by large sand dunes giving rise to lagoons, dry woodland and scrub bush.

Yala (Ruhuna) National Park

The premier wildlife location in Sri Lanka, Yala offers an almost African safari experience as well as an important Buddhist temple site. On game drives by jeep, one can usually view wild elephant, buffalo and boar, huge monitor lizards, macaque monkeys and many rare and endemic bird species: it is also the best place in south Asia to spot the elusive leopard, often seen and admired in Yala.

Yala Village
Situated between Yala and the south coast in 10 acres of wooded land, the well-run luxury lodge has comfortable twin/double bungalows, swimming pool and observation tower for wildlife viewing. There is also the Suite Julian, a marvellous “treehouse” room with balcony overlooking the surrounding forest, where leopard often wander.
