O2 Villas Yala

The staff and the service we received were fantastic. Special thanks to Telina and Mike for their patience, support, and kindness throughout our stay. We enjoyed a lovely beach safari tour with Telina, who professionally guided us and showed us an incredible sunset view as well as many interesting animals. We celebrated a birthday during our stay, and the staff and the hotel manager arranged an unforgettable bonfire dinner. The memory of this celebration will remain with us for a long time. The room had everything one needs to feel at home, including a stunning view of the lush green nature and the beach. It is a very peaceful place. We enjoyed all the meals, which were well prepared and very tasty. This hotel is a paradise for those who love to wake up to a beautiful sunrise and for those who enjoy sitting on the terrace with a morning coffee while listening to the wonderful sounds of nature waking up.

The pool was not in good condition. The restaurant did not have the whole menu and what was available was limited.

We spent three nights here, and it was an absolute dream. Every single member of the staff was exceptionally warm, welcoming, and helpful. They contributed enormously to our positive experience. We were looked after with great care, and every wish was fulfilled with genuine attentiveness and kindness. The food was spectacular—truly at an outstanding level. We have not eaten better anywhere else. Chef Danushka is a true master of his craft, and every dish reflected his talent and passion. The hotel also provided us with an excellent guide who was extremely knowledgeable about the area and showed us so many beautiful places. The evening beach tour is highly recommended—it was by far the most beautiful beach I have seen in Sri Lanka. Nestled in the middle of the jungle, the hotel offers the unique opportunity to observe wildlife directly from your room. One morning, the hotel organized a safari for us in Yala National Park, which was absolutely breathtaking. We saw an incredible number of animals, and the driver did a fantastic job, ensuring we had the best possible experience and could see as much as possible. Since we did not want to take our eight-month-old daughter on the safari, Dinithi from the Operations Team lovingly took care of her. We were so grateful. She did a wonderful job—our daughter adored her and always lit up with a big smile whenever she saw her. This stay was truly unforgettable, and we cannot recommend this place highly enough.

Everything was fantastic, nothing negative to say!

It’s very close to Yala national park and therefore to the nature. You can find an elephant just few minutes walk from the property and the nearby beach is also stunning! Our guides in the resort are very helpful and friendly, food is great!

They are undergoing renovations whene we were there, it could’ve been easier if the water heater and pressure was fixed before our stay.

The breakfast was excellent and we loved the walk on the beach

Executive villa was beautiful, comfortable and spacious for our family of 4. Outdoor- indoor shower and internal trees a beautiful touch. Staff were super helpful and attentive. Special mention to chef Danushka.

alles verliep perfect van het inchecken tot het uitchecken. Super vriendelijk en behulpzaam, uitleg op de kamer van functies van verlichting, airco en mini bar. Toegang tot restaurant , strand , alles inclusief. Idem voor uitleg restaurant, jeep safari, ontbijt. Alles perfect geregeld! HET MATRAS EN BED HEERLIJK van top kwaliteit ? de badkamer en inloopdouche met verbinding naar het zwembad.

NIETS ? matras alles was perfect , SUPER gedaan !

The canopy with the houses on a higher level gives a nice view of the ocean and the jungle. Staff served a copious breakfast and tried their best to mitigate the numerous problems the property has due to poor execution and finishing.

Overpriced The private pool could not be used due to technical issues that were not resolved. So, the water was green and dirty. No sound insulation due to bad quality doors and windows. It smelled like sewage outside the whole time, so we had to stay inside. The wifi in our room was not connected. Before going to bed we had had to kill bugs everywhere (on our beds, pillows, floor, cabinets etc.). They invaded the bathroom and bedrooms due to the open bathroom concept and because the staff left the lights on in the evening.

We spent two absolutely fantastic days and nights at O2 Villa Resort in one of their magnificent tree-top villas. The villas are incredibly beautiful and tastefully decorated, offering a stunning view and a profoundly tranquil, magical atmosphere. A huge thank you to the amazing Amantha, who helped us celebrate a 50th birthday. Everything was perfectly arranged: beautiful room decorations, a cake and an outdoor barbecue. Thanks also to Feddie for the wonderful guidance and stories. Our sunset excursion to the deserted beach was unforgettable—we saw crocodiles and monkeys! The entire team provided the best care. From the chef who prepared incredible food to the staff who arranged a safari tour (including packed meals), we felt genuinely looked after. We highly recommend O2 Villa Resort to anyone seeking something special, delivered with warmth, professionalism, and genuine care. This is a fantastic place with an even more fantastic team.

Nothing that comes to mind.
