Here are top eco‑luxury places to stay at/near Yala National Park (short notes on what makes each one “eco” and why they’re luxury). I’ve included sources so you can check current details and book directly.

• Wild Coast Tented Lodge (Resplendent Ceylon) — luxury glamping on the park’s coastal edge with architecturally striking “cocoon” suites, private plunge pools and a strong sustainability program (solar, greywater recycling, onsite conservation/research partnerships). Best for high‑end glamping with strong conservation focus. (lanka.guide)

• Uga Chena Huts (Uga Escapes) — private pool villas/cabins on the Yala buffer, designed to blend with the environment; Uga group holds Travelife Gold and the property has LEED/green design measures (solar, water‑management, low‑impact construction). Best for private‑villa luxury with verified sustainability credentials. (ugaescapes.com)

• Leopard Trails (tented camp) — intimate, all‑inclusive luxury tented camp on the park edge with experienced naturalists; operates with low‑impact camping practices and local community engagement. Best for classic tented safari comfort and small‑group experiences. (leopardtrails.com)

Quick planning tips

• Timing: Yala’s best safari months are generally in the dry season (roughly February–June), when animals concentrate near waterholes — see local guides for exact park closure dates (Yala often closes for a short annual rejuvenation). Book early for peak months. (yalalk.com)
• Location matters: “Edge‑of‑park” properties (Wild Coast, Uga Chena Huts, Leopard Trails, Hilton) give quickest access to morning/evening drives and more likelihood of wildlife wandering near the property. (lanka.guide)
• Look for verified green credentials: Travelife, LEED, membership in conservation networks or property sustainability pages (listed above) are good signals that eco‑measures are audited. (ugaescapes.com)
