A secluded space, away from the noise and hustle. This resort has a unique vibe and atmosphere created by its owner Nando. The houses are beautifully decorated, you feel like in the outerworld there! There are a lot of domestic animals running around even some pet monkeys. There is a good place for yoga and meditation on the bank of the river as well. Will deffently come back again!

Our stay at Lake Front Yala Safari will definitely remain in our memories for a long time, thanks to the warmth and kindness of the family who runs this place. The atmosphere was genuinely homely and welcoming. The rooms were clean, and the food they served was absolutely delicious and fresh. The safari was professionally organized, and it was clear that our driver was very experienced. We saw a wide variety of animals, and we were lucky enough to spot leopards several times – once from a very close distance. We highly recommend this place and truly regret that we couldn’t stay longer.
