Located within 16 km of Udawalawe National Park in Udawalawe, Yonan River Face Safari Resort features accommodation with seating area. Featuring a 24-hour front desk, this property also welcomes guests with a family-friendly restaurant, a water park and a sun terrace. The guest house also provides free WiFi, free private parking and facilities for disabled guests. My experience at Yunan Resort felt like a peaceful dream nestled in nature. From the very first moment, you sense that this is a place unlike any other — where natural beauty meets quiet luxury. The resort is surrounded by lush greenery and breathtaking views, with fresh air that refreshes both body and soul. One of the most stunning features of the resort is its enchanting view of a calm lake, adding a magical touch to the scenery. Some of the most memorable moments were spent sailing in boats across the tranquil waters, where relaxation and joy came together like a scene from a movie. The hospitality was exceptional, and the service exceeded expectations — everything was thoughtfully arranged to ensure complete comfort. The cottages were stylish and cozy, combining rustic charm with modern elegance, and opened onto views that warmed the heart. The culinary experience at Yunan Resort was just as impressive. Every dish was fresh, delicious, and carefully prepared — blending refined presentation with authentic local flavors. Each meal was a sensory journey that satisfied far beyond just the appetite. One of the most unforgettable highlights was a heartfelt gesture from the owner, who gifted me a precious keepsake. A gracious and generous act that reflected the true spirit of hospitality and made my stay even more memorable. The overall atmosphere was perfect for anyone seeking calm, reflection, and an escape from the noise of daily life. In short, Yunan Resort is not just a place to stay — it’s a complete experience for all the senses.

At the resort, every room is equipped with a balcony. With a private bathroom equipped with a bidet and free toiletries, certain rooms at Eliyanth Udawalawe also provide guests with pool view. All units at the accommodation include air conditioning and a desk. The place is totally lovey, nicely decorated, well maintained, spacious rooms, the shower is just supercool. The place is at a nice quiet area but close to everything. We had some difficulty on our way and arrived after check-in hours. We managed to call the owner and he was soo helpful, they even put aside a superb dinner even we arrived after the the kitchen was closed. The staff and the manager were also very friendly and helpful. We would certainly will come back to this place when around. Totally recommended. We went on a safari arranged by the hotel, the pricing was good and the cars were in great condition. We went on 3 hours and that was good for us. (tip: ask a car with armholders at the seats - we happened to have one and just realized how comfy it comes at bumpy roads in the park :)) Wish we could stay longer.

Boasting room service, this property also provides guests with a water park. Guests can have a drink at the bar. Great location. Lovely pool.. Meals were served in a lovely thatched restaurant in the garden and really nice. We asked for some breakfast to take on our safari which was packed up for us. The hotel is almost opposite the elephant transit home which you can visit at feeding time. Nite- the transit home only accepts cash.Very pretty gardens in the hotel and friendly staff.

Chill House safari resort provides spa facilities and wellness packages, as well as air-conditioned accommodation in Udawalawe, 12 km from Udawalawe National Park. This property offers access to a terrace, bowling in the bowling alley, free private parking and free WiFi. Extra facilities include a 24-hour front desk, meeting rooms, a tour desk and ironing service. We stayed at Chill House Safari resort and also did the safari with our host, Hashan. Our room and bathroom were clean and equipped with everything we needed. The location was peaceful and surrounded by trees and wildlife while still close by the main road. We decided to have one meal at the accommodation and Hashan went out to find all the specific ingredients to make polos, which we really wanted to try. It was delicious!😋His wife and son were also very nice and always around. Our safari tour with the family went great too! It’s totally worth it. We saw quite a lot of elephants and many other animals in the park. Hashan really knows his way around well and is great at spotting anyone hiding in the bushes or trees. He also answered all of our questions about the different species. Overall, we recommend the whole experience offered at Chill House Safari Resort!❣️

The guest house boasts a variety of wellness options, including spa facilities, wellness packages and yoga classes. Bike hire and car hire are available at Greenwood Udawalawa Safari Resort and the area is popular for cycling and fishing. The accommodation has an outdoor fireplace and a children's playground. They welcomed me warmly. So I felt like it was my home. What is especially worth mentioning is that they have the lowest prices for safaris in the Udawalawe area.. But I must say that their safari service is of the highest quality. All their rooms are very high quality and very clean. Their food is very delicious. I have unforgettable memories with them.
