Laya Safari - Yala, a trail into nature

For unbeatable access to the world-renown Yala National Park, there is no better place to stay than Laya Safari, a true trail into the nature as well as the sand, sea, surf and sacred sites that borders Sri Lanka's virtually untouched jungle heritage.

And, only in the months of May and June 2017, enjoy a third night free of charge when you book a two-night stay.

A one-of-a-kind destination extending all the way from the Wilds to the Indian Ocean, Laya Safari is also widely recognised as one of the best and most unique places to stay for those who want a true Yala safari adventure. In fact, the hotel often welcomes curious wild game wandering on to premises to get additional food to eat, free of charge of course!

Those choosing to visit Laya Safari Yala in September and October 2017 can also avail themselves of the opportunity to enjoy 25% off on bookings for two or more nights.

Laya Safari Yala also boasts 20 remarkable deluxe rooms to truly make your stay a pleasure, all benefiting from refined hospitality, and ringed by shifting sand dunes, secluded golden beaches as well as the peace and tranquility of a sylvan habitat, where you are lulled to sleep by the soothing sounds of the lapping Indian Ocean.

Accommodation at LAYA Safari has been carefully designed to produce beautiful unique cabanas, all of which face the majestic Indian Ocean with its unending stretches of golden beaches.


Each cabana is lavishly furnished with plush bedding providing a homely feel, wrapped in the contemporary ambience of rustic wood. Importantly, all units are well equipped with modern day amenities, including Wi-Fi, International Roaming through Wi-Fi and Cable TV, meeting every requirement of the most discerning of visitors.

While these guest accommodations are supremely luxurious in their own right, adding a whole new extension to the jungle experience, are two truly stunning, fully decked out Thicket Villa retreats, for a natural experience without equal in Yala.

Additionally, Laya Safari does not skimp on anything to ensure your stay is spectacular.


Each and every creature comfort is provided to satisfy your heart's every desire, whether it be a swimming pool with Jacuzzi and spa, or a gym and snooker room.


A host of homely features make your vacation memories unbeatable.


Most important of all, carefully immersed into its environment, the facilities at Laya Safari strike a delicate balance between the natural outdoors and modern indoor comforts.


Well-designed facilities seamlessly merge into the landscape, enabling both a pristine and relaxing day, following the supreme adventure of a early morning safari.

Inspired by the Sanskrit word LAYA, which evocatively suggests REPOSE, that aura of tranquility is what the World of LAYA offers as it welcomes all travelers to its chain of hotels.


Founded by the Sri Lanka Army to initially cater to the welfare of its war heroes, with the introduction of the LAYA concept, its Welfare Directorate thought it fit and proper to throw open its doors to local and international visitors at large.


The LAYA group comprises LAYA Safari in Yala, LAYA Beach in Wadduwa, LAYA Leisure in Kukuleganga, and LAYA Waves in Kalkudah – all oases of absolute serenity.
