Located in South-East Sri Lanka, Yala is a well-known hotspot for incredible wildlife safari, but there’s so much more to it! Sri Lanka’s second-largest National Park boasts of varying ecosystems and sandy beaches with scarlet.
If you’re searching for hotels in Yala, the perfect place to be to explore all this and more is Chena Huts by Uga Escapes. Bordering the Yala National Park, the ocean and a natural watering hole, it is the optimal location to traverse through while also basking in the signature Uga Escapes splendour and luxury!
Why Choose Uga Chena Huts?
Uga Chena Huts is spread out over 7 precious acres and every inch of the property is surrounded by greenery and nature, with pathways leading all around the resort encased by trees and tall shrubbery.
As suggested in the name, the luxury resort is reminiscent of Sri Lanka’s oldest form of cultivation, Chena cultivation. The 14 lavish cabins at Uga Chena Huts mirror the huts that Chena farmers would shelter in throughout the night, while they stayed up singing and chewing on betel leaves in order to protect their crops from being damaged or eaten.
Yet another amazing trait of Chena Huts is its location within the Buffer Zone in Yala. This means that there’s nothing separating Yala National Park and Uga Chena Huts, which gives you a unique opportunity to spot and experience the resident wildlife. During our stay, with the careful guidance by the very alert rangers to keep our footsteps quiet and hushed voices, we even got lucky enough to spot an elephant that wandered into the property for an evening snack just by the reception hut!
Speaking of wildlife, one of the best things about this resort is how much you can learn about the fascinating things Yala has to offer from the experienced rangers at the property, who give you personalized safaris.
Another reason to stay at Uga Chena Huts? Here’s one you just can’t say no to; it’s an all-inclusive hotel, which means once your stay begins, all your food and beverages are provided on a free-flow basis so you can eat and drink to your heart’s content!
Accommodation at Uga Chena Huts
While you do get to be one with nature at Chena Huts, you also get to submerge yourself in rustic grandeur at this high-end property.
The cabins are massive, to say the least, and are the pinnacle of luxury. Each cabin has its own spacious living area, a bedroom featuring a large, cozy bed, a bathroom with a bathtub for a bubble bath in the wild, along with an outdoor deck with a private plunge pool, guaranteeing a secluded yet lavish stay.
Moreover, everything in the room is predominantly made of wood, which really intensifies that nature-immersive experience.
