O2 Villas Yala

The baseline for this accomodation is to have an all-private villa with a pool and butler service, which is all true. The friendly and flexible personalized service is a demonstration of the highest hospitality. The catering is of a good (Sri Lankan) standard and made to order, so always fresh and to your specifications. The good people of the O2 also organize small trips which are very nice. On the last night we got the most wonderfully romantic surprise, an evening we will never forget. The villa has two bathrooms, the one is semi-open, which is a common feature in south-east asia. We prefer closed type bathrooms because of the exposure to the climate and occasional insects that find their way in. The other bathroom is closed from the ceiling but two windows have a kind of air-vent grill that permits 'access' for undesired critters. On our tour we stayed in 5 hotels and this one had the best matrasses, so kudos for that. Also the wifi was working well, so our local sim was spared for the duration of our 5-night stay. Guests should be aware that all-private is not the same as privacy. The pools are adjacent to the central path from the entrance to the villas towards the restaurant without any way to shield your privacy. We permit an attentionpoint for the general maintenance of the villa. As pictures show, there are trees growing in the house and going through the roof. It can rain in Sri Lanka, rain hard. And you just don't want towels and buckets to fix that. Stains, wear and tear on the seam of two ceiling plates because of old water infiltration issue, discoloration in the paint on the walls testimonial to old moisture issues, doors difficult to open/close... it is just not what you want to see in this kind of accomodation especially not at this kind of rates... O2 Villas in Yala was an absolute pleasure and a place we would recommend and were we would happily go again.

Perfect place especially for nature lovers. Villas are built nature friendly and everything was super clean and comfortable. They have beautiful White horse in the garden.Staff was extremely friendly and helpful. Especial thanks for Mr.Madawa made our stay even more smoother and nicer. Location is perfect just a 7 kilometers away from the Yala National park. Food was amazing and chef was very friendly. Definitely recommend this place to everyone.

We stayed at O2 Villas Yala for a week. What an incredible service. The location was so peaceful. The tranquility of the villa which was located just within Yala National Park. Scenic location whether you are looking for a long walk by the beach that lasts until sunset, a drive through dense vegetation or a trek through some of the most remote and wild trails O2 Villas has it all. Tree-fringed treks, the most breathtaking countryside are richly rewarding whatever the season and whatever the weather. The service we have received was impeccable, especially from the resident manager Madhawa. Delicious meals served on time. All of our needs have been prioritized. Fantastic team, looking forward to staying there again soon.
