If want to top up your tan, you might want to head out to Kirinda Beach, located 1.4 mi (2.2 km) from central Kirinda. Enjoy the sunset by the shore at Palatupana Beach.
If seeing the sights is on your list of things to do, head to Patanangala Tsunami Memorial— just one of the landmarks located 2.4 mi (3.9 km) from central Yala.

Laya Safari
10/10 Excellent
"Literally a paradise, the view from the room or actually anywhere in the hotel is amazing.
Great food, good gym and pool. Very relaxing, since you can hear the ocean 24/7.
Location is amazing cause it’s very convenient to the national Park. If you are doing a safari it’s a great option, it makes everything way easier.
The room, was recently renovated and it was perfect. Very comfortable and luxurious.
This place has some extra magic with elephants occasionally roaming the property. And every staff member being super friendly going above and beyond making sure you have the best time.
Already planning to come back."
"My parents were there to celebrate my dad’s birthday, and although we celebrated a little late, they had such a wonderful experience.
Quoting my dad “The birthday arrangement was beautiful, the cake was lovely, and the famous DoubleTree cookie was the best. The breakfast and dinner buffets were both excellent, and the amenities were exceptional.”
What really stood out to them was the warmth and attention to detail throughout their stay.
My mum still can’t stop complimenting the food; my parents have travelled all around Sri Lanka and tried many different cuisines, so coming from them, that is actually really huge to hear!
Next time I’m in Lanka, I already know where my first stop will be.
10/10 for such a great stay!"
"We had a wonderful stay at this property. I cannot think of anything we did not like. The location is beautiful, the room was fantastic, the food amazing (quality, variety and presentation), and the staff kind, professional, and efficient. We were welcomed and sent on our way by Dilshan. All waiters at the restaurant were wonderful but we would especially like to acknowledge the service of Chinthaka. We had great fun on our 4 safari tours with our excellent guide Yesi. We saw leopards, elephants, jackal, and many many beautiful birds. Yesi was very knowledgeable and we learned a lot.We have traveled all over the world - this will be a place to remember."

"Am amazing property right in the middle of the forest. The staff was very courteous and they went out of the way to make sure needs were met. The food was also excellent and each menu was well curated!"
"We were the only guests in this sprawling property within the buffer zone of the Yala National park. The BBQ dinner under the stars was worth remembering. The whole property kept the entire electric generation system running for only 2 guests. The air conditioning was perfect and the view from above the canopy was very good. Mention must be made of Patisa and his team. The chef was wonderful with his breakfast and dinner. A great stay. Never felt unsafe as were the only guest on the day."
"Magnifique vue sur le lac. Hôtel idéalement placé car pas trop loin de la ville.
Cependant déjeuner pas super pour 6€ par personne.
La chambre est bien mais les finitions 0 par contre le personnel est au petit soin.
Manque de sun bed au bord de la piscine. "
