Sri Lanka’s hospitality & tourism sector marks a major international win as Hilton Yala Resort was honored with two prestigious global titles at the 2026 REVE Luxury Awards. The property won the top spots for both Global Luxury Wildlife Resort and Global Luxury Safari Retreat. • The Accolades: Recognised on the global stage for delivering outstanding guest experiences, innovation, service excellence, and destination leadership. • Economic Context: Located in the buffer zone of Yala National Park, the property serves as Hilton’s only wildlife resort globally.
