The Beachfront Villas have between 2 and 6 bedrooms which mean there is a villa to suit everyone - couples, families or larger group of friends or families travelling together.

The foremost location on the island for seeing herds of elephants in the wild, with around 500 elephants currently living inside the park boundaries. Uda Walawe is located just south of the hill country and the terrain is flat and the landscape quite barren, with expanses of scrubland and teak forests. It is not uncommon to see herds of up to 50 elephants wandering through the grass, or stopping to drink or play at one of the waterbodies. The rivers also provide a great nesting and feeding ground for the various species of domestic and wintering birds. Nearby there is also the Elephant Transit Camp, a wildlife project which aims to care for orphaned elephants and ultimately aims to re-introduce them into the wild.
