Jetwing Yala, a resort at the edge of Sri Lanka’s most popular wildlife park, has once again clinched the prestigious title of "Sri Lanka's Leading Family Resort" at the World Travel Awards in 2023. This recognition marks the third triumph for Jetwing Yala, having previously received this accolade in 2015 and 2016, while maintaining its status as a constant nominee since 2017.
The company said in a media release that the award acts as a testimony to Jetwing Yala's unwavering commitment to delivering exceptional warmth and hospitality to its cherished guests. Renowned for its comprehensive family-friendly offerings, the resort offers an unparalleled holistic experience that caters to guests of all ages. From traveller comforts, engaging in excursions to being a part of responsible tourism, this property is in perfect unison with the natural world. Jetwing Yala has a refreshing 75-metre-long swimming pool, a blissful spa, and a coastline protected by professional lifeguards. Given its proximity to the park, the resort is no stranger to the countless wild animals that roam the area, a haven for avid safari-goers and wildlife enthusiasts.
Jetwing Yala also stands as a testament to sustainable living, housing several of Jetwing's pioneering sustainability initiatives. Among them is one of the largest privately-owned solar installations in the sector, a 300-kilowatt capacity system which generates clean energy to fulfill 40 per cent of the hotel's daily electricity requirements. The resort's cooling system operates efficiently through a vapour absorption chiller, sustainably powered by steam generated from a biomass boiler using responsibly sourced cinnamon wood. Further, Jetwing Yala provides hot water entirely through renewable energy sources, utilises 100 per cent energy efficient LED lighting, and diverts zero waste to landfill.
