Lodges in Monaragala District

"Awesome experience! Family friendly! Great staff."

"Overall a wonderful stay and would absolutely come again! Beautiful resort with absolutely stunning views and rooms. Spa is fairly priced and excellent. Location very near little Adam’s peak makes for a convenient sunrise walk. Staff all around very good and made the stay welcoming. Some things to be improved: While restaurant food is good, the prices are extortionate and we ended up eating majority of meals in local Ella for a fraction of the price. Due to the size of the resort, transport via buggy is often required and we found this service to be quite inconsistent (especially during periods of rain where everyone in the resort requires a buggy). While the hotel has umbrellas in the room, it would be nice to also get an umbrella if stuck in another location (such as the restaurant) during a downpour. "

"What an amazing time we had at yala safari camping! The place is magical - completely immersed in the jungle, with trees as far as the eye can see and the mountains in the distance. Our « tent » (it’s not really a tent, definitely more like a luxury cabin) was in front of a lily pad pond and the sounds of the frogs made it a super relaxing place to sleep. When we arrived we were immediately greeted by the friendly staff and served a Sri Lankan meal with vegetable curries and jumbo prawns which was delicious. We then went on our first safari half day with Achi in block 5 where we spotted elephants, a leopard and plenty of monkeys, deers and various birds. The next day, we went to a full day drive on block 1 with Niro, and we loved how he spent time showing us various birds - from eagles to egret, kingfishers and bee-eaters - he had a keen eye to spot and we were fascinated with all that we discovered in the jungle. We even saw another leopard walking peacefully down the road, a family of elephants bathing, a malabar pied horn bill, painted storks, mongooses, monitor lizards, deer, grey langurs, and even Sri Lankan’s national animal the giant squirrel. On our last day, we went on a bush walk with Chamara, and walked through the forest and climbed a small mountain to get incredible views. Overall Ravi and his team gave us an unforgettable experience and were lovely, attentive and kind with great attention to detail across everthing. Definitely one to remember and return to!"

"Best breakfast of our trip. Great service. Beautiful view. Couldn't ask for more."

"Wild Coast Tented Lodge is not just a place to stay—it’s a transformative experience. Nestled on the edge of Yala National Park where the jungle meets the Indian Ocean, this eco-luxury resort perfectly marries untamed wilderness with world-class comfort. From the moment you arrive, you’re immersed in a surreal landscape. The architecture is nothing short of breathtaking—cocoon-shaped tents designed to blend seamlessly into the surroundings. The staff are impeccable—gracious, attentive, and deeply knowledgeable about the local wildlife and culture. Dining is a standout, with gourmet Sri Lankan cuisine and international options prepared with locally sourced ingredients. The guided safari experiences into Yala National Park are expertly curated. Led by naturalists who are as passionate as they are professional, the game drives offer thrilling opportunities In every way, Wild Coast Tented Lodge is a rare gem it’s not just a destination, but a journey into the heart of Sri Lanka’s wild and wondrous coast."

"Very nice elevated bungalow in jungle."

"What a beautiful oasis! A super relaxed and peaceful place to stay - staff are excellent. Will definitely come again."

"We had an excellent stay in that property (3nights March 2025) It located on the hill so the views from the balcony are spectacular. Still just a few steps from the center of town. Very good breakfast with lots of options. Exceptional stuff, especially the manager who was very informative, helpful and kind. The only down was the bathroom which I'd say needed some renovations and the noise coming from the construction going on at the front of the hotel but I understand at some point they have to do it. I would definitely recommend this hotel!"

"It was indeed a flower garden with breathtaking views!"
