Cinnamon Wild, Yala

This hotel is situated in the wilderness zone right next door to Yala National Park. It does have a feel of being right in the Park, to the extent that animals do wander through the grounds- boar, monkeys and even the odd elephant. Having been totally refurbished recently, it does now have the feel of a world class game lodge. The main restaurant is located above reception and has the most fantastic 360° views over the nearby jungle.

Forest Rock Garden Resort, Anuradhapura

This beautiful new boutique hotel is located about 20mins equidistant from Anuradhapura in the east and Wilpattu National Park to the west, in a 50 acre site with wilderness all around. The accommodation really does have a feel of the ancient of Anuradhapura, using similar architecture styles in the ornate pillars, statues, ponds and waterways. The hotel is actually built 20ft off the ground, with meandering walkways between to stop any impact on the jungle below, and so the wildlife can continue to use the jungle below unhindered. The hotel only serves vegetarian food.
