Available until 8pm
Stilted villas, exceptional dining and a superb setting amidst 9 acres of lush landscapes, just minutes from Wilpattu National Park.
As the sun rises, so do you with a morning drive to spot the leopards emerging after a night of hunting. You’ll return again late afternoon for more wildlife watching, guided by the most friendly and knowledgeable rangers. Thamaravila is the perfect place to unwind after game drives. Luxury tented lodges sit within the wilderness with thatched roofs and wooden decks overlooking the jungle. Refuel between safari stops with a mix of global flavours served in stunning settings. And when the night falls, things are just as magical – sip sundowners on the lawn, listen to the calls of nightjars and share stories around the campfire.
Why we love Thamaravila Wilpattu
-
It’s just a short drive from Wilpattu National Park, the best place to spot the leopards. The park is also quieter than Yala so you can enjoy more intimate wildlife encounters and better photo opportunities.
-
The safari guides are extremely knowledgeable and make the whole experience 10 times better. They also offer customised game drives for a personalised and unforgettable experience.
-
Just like the rest of the hotel, the food here is exceptional. Whether you fancy sampling Sri Lankan curry or prefer home comforts, there’s something to suit everyone.
-
Pool suites make your stay here extra special with private pools perfect for mid-game dips.

Sustainability is a big focus at Thamaravila Wilpattu. A rain water harvesting system provides water. To help minimise the use of plastics, guests are given reusable glass bottles. Chalets are topped with natural thatched roofs which act as natural insulators and are sourced locally. Trees are also planted to provide shelter and a healthy habitat for wildlife. All guests will have the opportunity to plant a tree to support the Rainforest Regeneration Project.
