A great stay at Art Yala. The hotel and service were fantastic, as was the safari they helped arrange. It’s also a very relaxing place and we felt really looked after during our stay. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend.

First of all,the staff were so welcoming and so attentive,the hotel itself is beautiful and very modern/simplistic,which is a style we liked very much. They organised the safari at Yala for us which was brilliant - only wish we had stayed longer - our favourite hotel in Sri Lanka

Die Unterkunft bietet nur zwei Zimmer und ist deshalb sehr familiär. Die Lage ist wunderschön, man kann den Sonnenuntergang über dem See beobachten. Der Besitzer und die Angestellten sind sehr besortg um die Gäste. Safaris können in der Unterkunft gebucht werden. Das Frühstück ist top (unbedingt das SriLanka Frühstück bestellen).

We had an amazing experience staying at art Yala towards the end of our 3 week holiday in Sri Lanka. We were made to feel special from the moment we arrived, with cold towels and a fresh fruit drink. We were up early for a safari, so a delicious breakfast hamper was provided at 4.30am. on return from our safari, again we were greeted with much needed cold towels and a fresh fruit drink. The rooms are immaculate and attention to detail exemplary. Great shower and bathroom.
Breakfast on the morning of departure was the best we have had in Sri Lanka, as we ate our fill with local delicacies. Staff were friendly and attentive throughout our stay.
Easily the nicest place we have stayed in Sri Lanka and we would not hesitate to recommend.
