Hilton Yala Resort, Sri Lanka
With a broad view of the Indian Ocean from its location in Sri Lanka’s Yala National Park, the resort is designed to draw from the natural beauty of its surroundings. The 42 rooms, suites, and villas reveal safari-inspired accents and local art pieces set against neutral tones. Dedicated to protecting the area’s environment and biodiversity, Hilton is working with local partners to preserve and protect the natural habitat, including an onsite animal research program.
