Cinnamon Wild Yala

Dream

Wild exteriors meet plush interiors here. Jungle Chalets sit in the heart of the wilderness, preserving and living in harmony with nature. The rooms feel rustic and luxurious simultaneously because opting to be in the jungle doesn't mean compromising on all comfort.

Climb the wooden stairways leading to the Beach Chalets and stand on the private terrace and gaze out onto the Indian Ocean - a great place to watch for elephants.

Eat

As with the rest of the resort, the dining experiences are very much connected to the surrounding wilderness. Climb a flight of wooden stairs above the reception and walk into Tuskers, the main restaurant, and dine by the trees. Climb yet another floor to the viewing deck and rooftop bar.

Enjoy a drink and an a la carte meal at Pug Marks, the jungle-themed bar on the ground floor. At Cinnamon Wild Yala, meals are created combining locally sourced food and spices with great taste, with a forest atmosphere that's truly incomparable.

Play

The swimming pool is a relaxing place where time just slips away. At the heart of any stay at Cinnamon Wild Yala is the adventure of the outdoors. The expert team of naturalists know every inch of the surroundings, the distinct call of each species and where is best to get up close and personal with the action. All day safaris, nature walks, afternoon safaris and even infra-red night safaris are all waiting to be enjoyed.

Unwind

Relax and rejuvenate between safari adventures at Azmaara Spa. Therapists trained in both Balinese and Swedish healing techniques perform indulgent treatments in three specially designed rooms, including two couples treatment rooms.

Romance

While this isn't the place for big weddings, Cinnamon Wild Yala is perfect for intimate, wild weddings within the gardens. Not many hotels in Sri Lanka can bring couples into the heart of the wilderness to say "I do".
