Luxury in the wilderness, surrounded by exotic fauna and flora, is Chena Huts by Uga Escapes personified. Situated right on the edge of the island with the Yala National Park on one side and great blue ocean on the other, this is the ideal location for the nature lover to park themselves to get pampered before, in-between and after their wildlife expeditions. Chena Huts welcomes guests with wooden bridges and platforms over Lotus carpeted, leading to a series of hidden mud huts, akin to a traditional Sri Lankan village. In no way let that simplicity fool you that this place is one with bare basics. The mud structure, roofed with thatched coconut branch blends with its surroundings but within lies everything one would need for a few days of living in luxury. Follow the maze of wooden bridges complete and wooden railings then step into an eco-villa, adorned with wooden based statues and a spacious white domed ceiling. The huts comprise a bedroom, living area and bathroom, each with its own outdoor deck and plunge pool and shower to enjoy the views. The resort has a main pool and spa to one side and the golden beaches to the other. Or revel in the main attraction of safari. Yala National Park will definitely be the number one and for many, the main reason, to visit this area of the country. Carrying within its belly exotic fauna such as the elusive leopard, the Sri Lankan sloth bear, wild elephants, foxes and the spotted deer, the park is the wild life lover’s paradise. However, the southern territory of the country carries more for the explorer interested in going beyond. Turtle hatcheries and farms, fishing and boating expeditions on one side and historic and religious monument on the other are also available within reach for those indulging in luxury at the Chena Huts.
Experience complete privacy in luxurious standalone huts surrounded by nature. Thoughtfully designed with modern comforts and authentic Sri Lankan touches, each hut offers a peaceful retreat immersed in the wilderness.

Spacious and elegantly designed, each Chena Hut features cosy bedding, handcrafted wooden décor, and contemporary amenities including climate control, a flat-screen TV, minibar, and a luxurious bathroom with a soaking bathtub. Step onto your private deck to enjoy a plunge pool, outdoor shower, and tranquil views of the surrounding tropical landscape, creating the perfect escape for relaxation and seclusion.
Various meal plans are available at this resort, fine local and international flavours are brought to life by Head Chef, who usually gives a personalized service depending on the crowd and busy nature of the night. Cooking demonstrations with ‘Chef ‘ can be arranged - a few Sri Lankan dishes are taught in detail, tasted and then the recipes detailed instructions shared to try back at home. Sadly the home grown ingredients are harder to transport but spices are readily available on the island. Extra snacks, picnic baskets, refreshments for the safari tours are some of the services extended beyond the three meals. This was a welcome treat due to long days we spent outside sightseeing. There are two open-air bars to choose from pre and post dinner all with wonderful views of natural wonders. Cocktails at sunset at Chena Huts with the sounds of wildlife, backdropped by the Oceans’ waves are hard to beat.
