Blue Wild - Yala - Plastic Free & Sustainable

Tissamaharama

Featuring garden views, Blue Wild - Yala - Plastic Free & Sustainable in Tissamaharama offers accommodation, water sports facilities, an outdoor swimming pool, a fitness centre, an indoor pool and a garden. Boasting a 24-hour front desk, this property also provides guests with an outdoor fireplace. There is a sun terrace and guests can make use of free WiFi and free private parking. The hotel staff is so nice and friendly, and they go out of your way to give you the most pleasant stay you could even imagine. When you book a villa, you get the whole villa for yourself, a nice bedroom with good wifi and television. The bathroom is very nice and clean. The villa is newly built, and a modern look. You get a private pool with an amazing view over the lake, with water buffalos, peacocks, birds, lizards and even crocodiles! At sunset, giant bats fly over the area and gives an amazing view (don't worry, they don't get close). The hotel had arranged a safari for us and it was great. When we came back in the morning the staff had amazing breakfast ready for us. And after that we enjoyed the day at our own pool. The staff later recommended that we took a boat tour at the lake, and it was really nice. The hotel had arranged a tuktuk for us, and the boat tour was so relaxing watching birds and crocodiles. After going off the boat, the tuktuk took us to see where all the giant bats 'hang out', which were in trees right next to the lake. The hotel can make you all kinds of food whenever you like. They can make both local food or international food. The Prices are fair, and the food is very good. The staff are really nice and kind people. They had our clothes laundered, and some of my clothes needed some sewing, and a member of the staff was so kind and offered to have his wife fix it for me within hours. We only stayed for two nights, but we wish we had stayed for much longer.

Such a pleasure to stay here! Clean room, beautiful serene pool area and garden. Food was great (We had curry both evenings) and the breakfast even greater, still craving the porridge! Safari and ride to our next accomodation was set up with no problems. Perfect place for a (safari-) getaway, don’t expect too much hassle, restaurants or shops nearby (a few km drive to a supermarket and fridge in room so you’ll probably have everything you need by the hand still.) If in Sri Lanka, I want to come back for a longer time to just soake in the calmness!
