Vil Uyana

Wilderness
Cultural Triangle, Sri Lanka

Surrounded by paddy fields and forest, Vil Uyana has 25 individual villas on stilts. Connected by wooden walkways and decked with wooden floors, each villa has a pitched rattan and bamboo ceiling and a sloping thatch roof made of coconut palms.

In-villa dining is available here, while a small spa offers a range of treatments.

Why we like Vil Uyana

The freestanding dwellings offer a load of space and plenty of comfort.

Facilities

Vil Uyana is the perfect destination from which to explore the Cultural Triangle. Vil Uyana offers 36 spacious dwellings on four different terrains, paddy, marsh, water and forest. Each has plenty of space with a private balcony or terrace. Some dwellings have pools/plunge pools.
