Cabins in Kirinda

What a find! Yala Lodge is incredible. The views of peacocks, hornbills, water buffalo etc out our window was a unique experience. The villa was clean and comfortable. We loved the pool and the peace and quiet. You are in your own little world right outside Yala. The staff make this place extra special. Ruma went above and beyond for us. The mission and vision of this place appealed to us as we are also educators. Take the time to relax here on your next trip!

This quiet little cottage was a perfect place to base ourselves for a few days while we explored Yala, Lunugamvehera, Udawalawe, and Ella. Our hosts, Gayan and his family, went above and beyond to ensure we had a happy and comfortable visit, and we were honored to be their first guests through Booking.com. Their kindnesses included such touches as providing us with limes from their own tree and preparing us a special breakfast (including delicious milk rice) on our first day. They also showed us around town and even helped my friend find a shop that had some particular things she was looking for. The property itself is cozy and beautiful. If you sleep in the front room (the one with the king bed and small bed), you can fall asleep to the sounds of the distant sea even with the windows closed. If you prefer a more silent night, you will find that in the back room (the one with the loft bed). The front room opens to the outdoor living space you see in the photos. It is a beautiful place to sit with your morning coffee or to relax in the afternoon. The back room and the kitchen open to the outdoors, and there is a paved walkway connecting the back room, the kitchen, and the outdoor living space. There are friendly dogs who will hang out with you on the property, but they do not enter the porch/living area or the rooms. They are sweet, calm, pleasant company. There's a good restaurant next door, which is convenient for dinner. You could cook in the well-prepared kitchen, but we did not do this during our stay. We also did not walk to town, although you probably could. The hosts are planning to add a couple more rooms to the property over time, but for now, it's just this one perfect little cottage. Much as the name suggests, Garnet Yala Beach truly is a gem. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a place near the parks who wants a peaceful beachy spot hosted by a lovely family.

Amazing property, amazing staff and amazing facilities. Has to be one of the best hotels I have stayed at by far. There is nothing in this facility that I would change!

Very nice hotel. The rooms are large, clean and you feel comfortable right away. The staff are extremely friendly and helpful. The food was very delicious. Overall a very pleasant stay and definitely recommended.

Gorgeously situated on the lake, the swimming pool offers breathtaking views of the lake. The space was cosy. Our safari for Yala was expertly organised by the staff, who were incredibly kind and accommodating. There are no other options, thus the restaurant's great food is useful!

Great stay here, definitely 5 stars. The superior room was very spacious, comfortable and clean. Food was great, plenty of choice of western or local food. Large and tasty portions. Would definitely recommend it to anyone traveling in the area.

Super friendly staff and excellent food. Room was lovely also and very comfy bed. Not one thing to complain about

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Exceptional Stay – Unmatched Hospitality! I have never felt so well taken care of as I did at Wild Coast Lodge. From the moment we arrived, the staff went above and beyond to make our stay unforgettable. Every team member remembered my food allergies across all three meals, ensuring I could dine worry-free. Their attention to detail and genuine care made all the difference. Beyond that, they even provided fresh aloe vera for our sunburns a small but incredibly thoughtful gesture that speaks volumes about their level of service. The entire experience was luxurious, personalized, and truly exceptional. If you’re looking for a place that combines stunning nature with five-star hospitality, this is it!

This was an excellent stay. The room was spacious and so clean. The meals we're delicious and I loved the safari tour that was arranged for us. The staff was incredibly nice and helpful. The pool was great.

An exceptional lodge experience! The rooms are huge and immaculate. The whole place is peaceful and really added to the safari experience. There is a pool and restaurant. We ate dinner at the restaurant and it was one of the best meals we have had in Sri Lanka. The staff even surprised us with a birthday cake as both of us are celebrating birthdays on our trip. The staff were extremely helpful and attentive. They had pre booked a safari for us and arranged everything. I highly recommend Koragaha Lodge when staying in Yala.
