"My parents were there to celebrate my dad’s birthday, and although we celebrated a little late, they had such a wonderful experience. Quoting my dad “The birthday arrangement was beautiful, the cake was lovely, and the famous DoubleTree cookie was the best. The breakfast and dinner buffets were both excellent, and the amenities were exceptional.” What really stood out to them was the warmth and attention to detail throughout their stay. My mum still can’t stop complimenting the food; my...

DoubleTree by Hilton Weerawila Rajawarna Resort

10/10 Excellent

"My parents were there to celebrate my dad’s birthday, and although we celebrated a little late, they had such a wonderful experience. Quoting my dad “The birthday arrangement was beautiful, the cake was lovely, and the famous DoubleTree cookie was the best. The breakfast and dinner buffets were both excellent, and the amenities were exceptional.” What really stood out to them was the warmth and attention to detail throughout their stay. My mum still can’t stop complimenting the food; my parents have travelled all around Sri Lanka and tried many different cuisines, so coming from them, that is actually really huge to hear! Next time I’m in Lanka, I already know where my first stop will be. 10/10 for such a great stay!"

Big Game Yala by Eco Team

10/10 Excellent

"It was a great stay. Different experience but great. Near to the Yala National Park and very nice place in contact with nature and the best... they offered evening and night walks which was amazing. Lovely PLace. It is a MUST!!! They also offer the safari tour to Yala National Park and it was AMAZING!!!"

Shangri-La Hambantota

10/10 Excellent

"Good property for a holiday with kids. The activities like trapeze, zipline etc were good for teens and pre teens. Akash, Pushpita and others do a great job with managing the activities. The kids club is good for the little ones. The staff at the front office, pool and restaurants is excellent. The beach access is good. The property has 3 pools ( kids, family and adults). There are multiple restaurants and bars within the property serving pan asian, continental , local and indian cuisine. The food we tried was good, specially local cuisine like kottu and even the asian food. You can book excursions like a trip to the national park or the bird park which are not very far from the property. The icing on the cake were the peacocks which you can spot throughout the property. I do not play golf but the golf course looked good as well. Overall a nice property with something for all age groups."

Grand Tamarind Lake

10/10 Excellent

"Seemed the best hotel in the area. Room big with a terrace leading to the very attractive large pool with the lake and a tree house to climb. Monkeys about who were fun to watch. Breakfast more to Asian tastes than mine but French toast, potato’s, fruit and breads available.It was very quiet during our stay with more staff than guests! Good choice for Yala but recommend the wild edge restaurant opposite in the evening for a drink."

Wild Culture Yala

10/10 Excellent

"Agreed by the whole family to be the best hotel and stay of our Sri Lanka & Singapore trip (overall we stayed at 11 different hotels of varying quality). Can't really rave enough about this place. I wouldn't really call it a hotel - more like a luxury, boutique accommodation. Exceptional in every way. Pros - Service - exceptional, Upul is the only one who we knew by name but everyone was wonderful - Pool - the hotel was full but there were rarely more than 4-5 people at the pool and even then it felt like you had it yourself - Close to Yala National Park - kicking ourselves we did one safari here and one from another (further) hotel as it was so close to the park it would have been much easier travel wise - Organised a safari for us from the hotel and packed snacks and cold water which was very thoughtful (we paid the driver directly and it was well priced) - Yummy cocktails and good food - Great value for money and even more so considering some of the other places we stayed - Nice large, clean, modern, and comfy rooms with a great view of the fields - The little extras make it extra special - they had archery, basketball and a mini golf course - Serene and peaceful, R&R achieved - Like an oasis and with beautiful, natural surroundings - Space - just felt personal and like we had the place almost to ourselves Cons I can't really think of anything. You won't be disappointed booking a stay here. "

Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Mattala?

The best area to stay in Mattala is generally near the Mattala Rajapaksa International Airport (MRIA) itself, or just a short drive away in the surrounding rural areas, depending on your primary reason for visiting.

For travellers primarily using the airport for transit or as a base for exploring the nearby Yala National Park, staying in one of the boutique hotels or guesthouses a little outside the immediate airport vicinity is often the best option. These accommodations are typically set amidst paddy fields or lush gardens, offering a tranquil setting. They provide easy access to the airport, usually within a 15-30 minute drive, and often arrange airport transfers.

Couples looking for a relaxing escape while being close to nature will appreciate these rural settings. Many of these properties offer amenities like outdoor pools and locally inspired dining, providing a peaceful retreat after a long flight or a safari.

When is the best time to go to Mattala?

The best time to visit Mattala is during the dry season, which runs from May to September.
