O2 Villas Yala

Very comfortable villa with everything we needed. Staff were absolutely fantastic and really went out their way to make our trip extra special.

Beautiful property, friendly staff always available. Meals are freshly prepared in their kitchens so can take a while - pre order by using their whatsapp contact worked great for us

Hands down our favourite hotel of the trip. The villa is gorgeous, plenty of space for the 5 of us. The whoops of joy as our kids explored the place said it all! Private pool, incredible food, attentive staff, wildlife all around. On our first evening, the guides took us to the red sand beach, about a 20 minute walk away. Very beautiful. You walk past a lake with baby crocs, can spot iguanas and other wildlife. Magical. We booked a safari through the hotel, the jeep was comfortable, and very reasonably priced. They packed us a breakfast to take with. The service was outstanding. We didn't want to leave.

Loved everything.

Staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, the breakfasts were great

Nothing

What a great experience made even more special by the amazing staff that worked there! They showed us all the amazing surroundings and were so knowledgeable and kind. We had the best time and would recommend to anyone considering staying here!

Long walk to beach

The perfect getaway in this wonderful villa. Ideal when seeking a change from the mainstream hotels. We were met on arrival by our host who showed us around the villa. There is ample space and lots of different tastefully themed areas to relax including own pool (this is unheated and in the shade but in the Sri Lankan sun was really welcome!) We loved the trees rooted in the lounge and the outdoor shower (there's another upstairs as well as two sun terraces). The property really is unique. Thanks to the guys for the walking tour down to the beach with the friendly dogs for company (the beach is deserted and beautiful but not suitable for swimming due to the waves and undertow). Also thanks crew for the mini safari and trip to the fisherman's village which is a totally non touristy genuine and friendly place. On the impromptu mini safari we spotted star tortoises, crocodiles, water buffalo, peacocks, mongoose, foxes, monkeys and lots more. The food was delicious and plentiful with a good menu choice. You do need to eat in, as you are away from the main hotels and the shops are only basic in this area. That is the charm however, you are safely within nature with a team who know and respect it. We used O2 as a base to visit Yala National Park (we saw leopards on our morning visit!) and can thoroughly recommend the whole experience and hope to be back sometime.

Extremely friendly and caring personal with focus on kids. Fresh, tasty local food well served. Clean and cold swimming pool.

Bathroom can be cleaned s bit better

Absolutely wonderful experience, the beach nearby is 10/10, the food was exceptional even considering how remote the location is in the middle of nature.

Nothing.
