“Nestled a mere stone's throw from Yala National Park, the location is this hotel's undeniable strength, merging beachside relaxation with safari adventures. I was particularly struck by the private beach, offering guests an exclusive slice of the coastline. It's a place where the call of the wild meets the calm of the ocean, a rare and appealing combination.”
