It is the most beautiful beach I saw in my life. The owner Thussi helped in all posibld ways, answered all my questions in minutes. Food was so hig and tasty!! Savd us a lot of money with his sugestions. We already planning to come back :) The manager that takes care of the place is extraofinary person!

RedHill Yala is not a place for everyone. It is a place for someone with an open heart, not just open eyes. It is an utterly authentic place. We stayed as a group of four in a cottage by the rock. The living conditions are very basic, but in this place, it doesn’t matter. There is air conditioning in the rooms, but we chose to use only the fans. The place is looked after by siblings - Ranjeni and Munidasa. Their kindness and care surprised and touched us every day. When we went for an afternoon walk and it got dark, Munidasa made a few calls to locate us and sent a tuk-tuk to ensure we returned home safely. Every day, our hosts moved us with countless beautiful gestures, asking for nothing in return and gifting us with their warm smiles. We dined at RedHill Yala, and what appeared on our table was real homemade cuisine at its finest, prepared by Ranjeni, along with plenty of fresh fruits. You can also count on fully vegetarian meals if that’s your preference, as the hosts themselves are vegetarians. We also went on a safari organized by the owner – ask for the driver/guide named Eranga! He guarantees an unforgettable experience and the best spots for observing wildlife (highly rated by a photographer). The surrounding area of RedHill is a true paradise – a one-of-a-kind place. The enormous rocks surrounding the property protect it from the ocean and create an extraordinary landscape. On one side, there’s an endless empty beach, and on the other, a beach stretching nearly 2 km that leads to the village center. This is not the end of the world nor a total wilderness, but an evening walk in the area might not be entirely safe due to wild animals visiting this region. In the area, you’ll find a few local bars, one restaurant, and a paid swimming pool. The village itself seems forgotten by modern civilization, still bearing many marks of the 2004 tsunami that hit this region. However, RedHill gives you experience worth everything – on one condition – your open heart!

The property owner was not on sight but was in constant communication. He was very concerned for our safety, comfort and satisfaction. We had a snafu over whether AC was included or not but it was quickly resolved in a reasonable manner. I can't say enough good things about the owner and the hosts that live on site. The hosts are brother/sister and prepare amazing food and are available to answer questions and arrange transportation. Request the coconut pancakes - to die for! The beach is a short walk through the trees away and is nearly private! It seems that only the locals know how to access it publicly.
