Jetwing Jungle Lodge Yala 

Whats Included

All Inclusive • Breakfast and dinner at the Thicket • Barbecue lunch with live cooking stations • Selected drinks including water, fruit juice, soft drinks, wine, beer, spirits and cocktails • Morning and evening (or full day) game drives • Selected snacks and drinks on the game drives • Evening wildlife story sessions • Park fees

This tiny property has neither a gym nor a spa, but you can enjoy an energetic game of beach volleyball or stroll along one of the bird trails. Neighbouring Jetwing Yala has fitness facilities, a Balinese spa and a large swimming pool which guests at the Jungle Camp can access.

Wildlife is a focus at Jungle Camp, from game drives into Yala National Park to visits to another national park, Bundala. It’s a more spiritual experience at Sithulpawwa, ‘the hill of the quiet mind’, with its ancient Buddhist monastery, while the venerable holy city of Kataragama is brimming with fascinating sights. Other options include trips to the nearby village or Jetwing’s own turtle hatchery.

Low-impact and local are guiding principles at Jetwing Jungle Lodge Yala. The ingredients used in the kitchen and bar come from within 21km, including from the on-site organic garden. The cabins have been carefully sited to avoid harming the landscape and were built using responsibly sourced timber.
