Hilton Yala Resort
Hambantota Division, Hambantota District
Sprawled over 7 acres, Hilton Yala Resort is the only international hotel brand in the most popular natural reserve, renowned for its leopard population. Overlooking the Indian Ocean, Hilton Yala lies in the unblemished wilderness while protecting the natural surroundings. We are just 5 minutes from the entrance to the Yala National Park and just over 300km from Colombos International Airport. Tissamaharama, the nearest town, is just 20km from the resort. Beyond Yala, the ancient temples of Kataragama and Sithulpauwa hold fascinating stories as two of Sri Lankas most revered religious sites. While the rocky outcrop of Sithulpauwa features a monastery that dates back to the 2nd century BC, Kataragama has been worshipped as a sacred city among pilgrims of multiple faiths for generations.
