Nestled within a sprawling seven-acre expanse adjoining Yala National Park in southeast Sri Lanka, Hilton Yala Resort is a collection of 42 refined rooms, suites and villas. Rooms and suites come with a private balcony or terrace and expansive floor-to- ceiling windows. Taking full advantage of its location at the


threshold of Yala National Park, Hilton Yala Resort expertly blends adventure with tranquility. The resort has a state-of-the-art fitness centre and a Balinese-inspired spa, offering guests the chance to both exercise and relax. As Yala’s sole elevated resort, the property has many unique features. Within the resort, a trio of exceptional dining


options beckons, each with a unique gastronomic take. Despite each establishment’s unique cuisine, all three share a commitment to utilising locally sourced ingredients, culminating in a culinary experience in keeping with the essence of the region. Dhira provides all-day dining starting with its signature breakfast menu. For lunch and dinner, guests can indulge in contemporary Asian cuisine at this welcoming and homely destination.


Sandali is renowned for its prowess in Western-


inspired delicacies. This beautiful outdoor dining venue offers a seafood-focused menu, along with meat, poultry, and vegetarian dishes. Lanthaaruma crafts tailor-made gastronomic dishes that are unrestricted by region. Whether within four walls or beneath open skies, Lanthaaruma weaves an unforgettable culinary tapestry, delivering bespoke indulgent meals. Guests at the Hilton Yala resort can take


advantage of a sand dunes tour, guided by a skilled ranger. Beginning just under five miles from the resort, a mere 10- to 15-minute journey culminates on top of the ever-shifting dunes, providing exceptional views of the Indian Ocean as well as Amaduwa Fishing Village and the Park. For the intrepid explorer venturing to Yala,


the national park is an essential destination. A 10-minute drive transports guests to a wildlife hotspot, teeming with native animals such as spotted deer and peacocks. Guided by a ranger, guests may even spot a leopard in this 378sq mile sanctuary.
