The Hilton Yala Resort, nestled in the heart of Sri Lanka’s renowned Yala National Park, celebrated its first anniversary on 31 August. 

In commemoration of this milestone, and in alignment with its ongoing commitment to environmental stewardship and community engagement, the resort is rolling out a series of activities to improve public amenities at two iconic locations within the Yala National Park: Patanangala, a scenic rock outcrop along the Yala coastline, and Parana Thotupola, a popular camping site. 

These efforts will focus on improving cleanliness, functionality, and the overall visitor experience, ensuring that these natural attractions remain pristine for both local residents and international visitors.

“We are committed to making a positive impact on our community and the environment,” said Hilton Yala Resort General Manager Gitanjali Chakravarthy. “By enhancing facilities at key locations in Yala National Park, we hope to contribute to the park’s sustainability and improve the overall experience for visitors. These initiatives are a testament to our commitment to preserving the natural beauty of the area while supporting local tourism,” she added.

The Hilton Yala Resort also highlighted the achievements of its dedicated team members. The resort’s team members have been instrumental in delivering exceptional service and have been recognised in various industry competitions. Notably, Adhil Sama was named ‘Most Promising Bartender of 2024’ at the 29th National Bartenders Competition and also won the Bar Champs Regional Competition, and Chef Ruchira Siriwardane was lauded through Hilton’s global ‘Hospitality Heroes’ program for his intuitive customer-oriented service, where he customised a chocolate bar for two Australian children with severe allergies, which transformed their stay into a memorable experience.
