 Cinnamon Wild Yala 

Feed your inner Attenborough

Wild by name, wild by nature… this Cinnamon property is secluded and perfectly placed for wildlife adventures.

Spanning 10 acres of jungle and beaches, the beautiful Cinnamon Wild Yala boasts untamed beauty and the opportunity to spot numerous wildlife species, both at the resort and on a safari into the park itself. One of our favourite spots at this low-key property is the rooftop bar which gives you a bird’s-eye view of the sanctuary. You can also spot wildlife from the pool which overlooks the lake – this really is the perfect spot for animal lovers. We recommend spending at least two nights here as part of your tailor-made Sri Lanka itinerary; this will give you enough time for a safari experience in the national park.

Why we love Cinnamon Wild Yala

  • National Park, so you’ll be wildlife spotting before you know it  

  • The grounds are a scenic wilderness in themselves, with paths that wind through the forest to a lake and a windswept beach

  • You stay in individual chalets, some of which are on stilts in the trees, so there’s a real sense of privacy

  • The panoramic views from the rooftop bar are breathtaking – and the perfect backdrop to a sundowner cocktail

Rooms

The 68 rooms are located in numerous chalets throughout the grounds and their interiors have been designed by a local artist, something that really gives the property a sense of place. The Jungle Chalets are set within the verdant grounds of the resort while the Beach Chalets are steps away from the Indian Ocean. The latter are also perched on stilts giving them a higher elevation.

If there’s just the two of you, the Beach Chalets in the treetops feel gloriously secluded.

As the name would suggest, these one-storey chalets are scattered throughout the jungle, immersing you in nature. You may be lucky enough to spot wildlife from your terrace.
