Named as a tribute to the surrounding milieu of the Yala National Park, the Cinnamon Wild sits adjacent to the park boundary and could be considered an extension of the park. A property that was first established in 2002 as an Eco-friendly resort for wildlife enthusiasts visiting the Yala National Park, Cinnamon Wild Yala opened its doors after an extensive re-construction and refurbishment as a world-class game lodge, conceptualizing the unique architectural features of the ‘wild’ into its rustic exteriors and luxurious interiors.The main restaurant offers a variety of both eastern and western delicacies. The main bar serves both local and international beverages as well as snacks and fresh fruit juices. The observation deck bar situated on the top floor of the hotel not only offers drinks but also a 360° view of the forest and the Indian Ocean.
