wilpattu Tree House

10/10 Excellent
"Possibly the best hotel stay I've ever had. The room was comfortable, with wonderful views - from our balcony we could see elephants. It's in the perfect location, right at the entrance to the national park (hence the view!). The food was delicious. What really sets the place apart, though, is the staff. Everyone was friendly and helpful, with special thanks to Sampath for taking us to the water so we could see the wildlife, and for going above and beyond with food and drink. We were even offered free use of the showers, tea and snacks after returning from our safari to collect luggage, having already checked out. I can't speak highly enough of everyone there and would recommend the hotel to anyone planning a trip to the national park"

Taru Villas Villu - Willpattu

10/10 Excellent
"Where do we even begin — Taru Villas Vilu was one of those rare stays that exceeded every expectation. The hospitality is truly world-class, thanks to an incredible team, especially our butler Kalum and safari guide Sam, who made our holiday one we’ll never forget. Sam captured our beautiful sunset mangrove picnic ending a perfect first day on a private beach with tea and snacks set up just for us. Kalum attended to our every need with warmth and care, while Sam’s sharp eye made our two half day safaris at Wilpattu National Park unforgettable. Highlights included crocodiles, deer, mongooses, countless birds and a stunning female leopard lazing in a tree. Pure magic! The food was exceptional — the Sri Lankan curries, hoppers, their seafood BBQ, every dish a chef’s kiss. Spice levels were graciously adjusted for me, and we loved enjoying a bottle from their lovely wine menu each evening at dinner. Our villa with private pool was spectacular, and with only a small number of villas on the property, privacy and tranquility are guaranteed. R&R at its best! The team even surprised us with an anniversary cake, a small touch that meant so much. Practical tips: A full-day safari is more cost-effective than splitting across two days as the park entrance fee applies each visit. Also bring cash for tips - no ATMs in the area, and the staff truly deserve it! Highly recommend staying at least 3 nights. Easily some of the best hospitality we’ve experienced anywhere in the world."

"I stayed only one night but wished I stayed an extra one. The staff were so accommodating and extremely friendly. I really loved the afternoon walk around the village where I saw my first elephant of my Sri Lankan trip and evening walk around the gardens looking at the nocturnal animals. I would highly recommend staying here!!"
