Yala Crocodile Park  

Set near Kataragama and Kirinda on the edge of Yala National Park, this lodge puts you close to wildlife and sacred sites. Sithulpawwa Buddhist Monastery, Yala National Park, Kataragama Archaeological Museum and the Sacred Bo Tree are all within easy reach, making it a great base for nature and culture trips.

A small, intimate property with just a few guestrooms and the only private bungalow said to sit inside Yala National Park beside a scenic lake. Expect close-up wildlife views—hundreds of crocodiles in the lake and daily deer visits—simple rooms with private bathrooms, bathrobes, cable TV, laptop-safe and daily housekeeping.

Wake up to lake-and-wildlife mornings from the terrace and garden. The property offers complimentary Wi‑Fi, a picnic area and barbecue grills, tour/ticket assistance, a 24-hour front desk, complimentary newspapers in the lobby, laundry/dry cleaning services, a roundtrip airport shuttle for a surcharge and free self parking.

Complimentary wireless internet and in-room desks with laptop-compatible safes help you stay connected. The 24-hour front desk and onsite parking add practical convenience for work-and-travel stays.

An onsite restaurant serves breakfast, lunch and dinner and highlights local flavors; a complimentary full breakfast is served daily from 6:30 AM to 10:30 AM. Limited-hour room service is available if you prefer to dine in after a day of safari or temple visits.
