Jetwing Yala

We loved relaxing by the infinity pool, with its views over the dunes and sea, after our early safari. The staff arranged a trip to Yala National Park, where we were lucky enough to see elephants and even a leopard. Jetwing Yala feels tucked into the landscape, with eco-friendly design and a real sense of wilderness near the park. Our room was spacious and stylish, in earthy tones, with modern amenities. From the balcony we could see the ocean and nearby forest. The bed was very comfortable, and the bathroom was nicely designed. Meals were another highlight: fresh seafood, Sri Lankan curries, and international dishes, plus a generous, tasty breakfast. The professional service and peaceful setting made this a great luxury stay for nature lovers in southern Sri Lanka.

The place was peaceful and surrounded by nature, just right for relaxing. We came with our office team and our families, and everyone enjoyed the tasty food, especially breakfast. The big swimming pool was beautiful, and the beachside was clean and stunning. Our rooms were comfortable, service was excellent, and the restaurant team were friendly and supportive. Management had things well organized. We had a really good stay and would love to come back with my family. ❤️💚❤️💚

The buffet at both breakfast and dinner was a real highlight, with loads of choices. Thanks to Mr.Asela, the food and beverage/restaurant manager, for doing such a great job with the restaurant and food handling. We felt at home thanks to the friendly, attentive staff, who went out of their way to make the stay good. Jetwing Yala exceeded my expectations, with a lovely mix of comfort and luxury. I’d happily recommend it to anyone visiting Yala.

We took an early safari to Yala Reserve and came back for a late buffet breakfast. The selection was first class. For dinner we chose à la carte instead of the $30-per-head buffet, and my yellow fin tuna was cooked perfectly. The food was delicious. Our room was fantastic, with an ocean-facing balcony, and there’s a great pool and a short walk to the beach. It’s well worth going down to see the Indian Ocean and stroll along the shore. The bathroom has an open-top shower. We made the mistake of switching the lights off when we went to supper, and bats came in and left their calling card! The staff were excellent, and housekeeping sent someone to clean the bathroom and bring fresh towels. Remember to leave the lights on. All in all, a really enjoyable stay.
