SINGAPORE, 9 October 2023: Hilton has opened the Hilton Yala Resort, marking Hilton’s third flagship-branded property in Sri Lanka.
Located just outside Sri Lanka’s Yala National Park, the resort provides an elevated escape for guests seeking adventure and relaxation, with a vast view that overlooks the Indian Ocean.
“We are delighted to welcome Hilton Yala Resort to our expanding portfolio across Sri Lanka and Southeast Asia,” said Hilton area vice president and head of Southeast Asia, Alexandra Murray. “Through the resort’s immersive and rewarding experiences, which beautifully showcases Yala’s natural wonders, we are confident it will be a haven for guests looking to fully connect with nature, enabling them to embark on a journey of self-discovery like no other.”
The property features just 42 rooms, suites, and villas. Ground-floor rooms have their own private pools measuring eight to 16 square metres> Rooms on higher floors have private hot tubs.
Protecting Yala’s biodiversity and environmental sustainability is central to Hilton Yala Resort’s ethos. Hilton is working with local partners to advance efforts to preserve and protect local habitats and biodiversity as part of their destination stewardship efforts. An onsite animal research programme has also been initiated under the support of microgrant funding provided by the Hilton Global Foundation, equipping rangers with the latest wildlife information, technology and necessary tools to understand and protect indigenous species. This research will collaborate with the Wildlife and Nature Protection Society (WNPS) Small Cat Advisory, Leopard Diary and the Wilderness and Wildlife Conservation Trust (WWCT) to better inform local conservation efforts.
At the heart of the resort is the outdoor pool, which blends seamlessly with its natural surroundings. The resort also features a fully equipped gym and a state-of-the-art spa beside the main building, providing relaxing treatments in a beautifully designed space.
Hilton Yala Resort is part of Hilton Honors, the award-winning guest loyalty program for Hilton’s 22 distinct hotel brands. To celebrate the resort’s opening, Hilton Honors members will receive 10,000 bonus points with a minimum stay of three nights booked until 1 December 2023, when booking directly with Hilton.
