Best For
the Low Down
Set amongst the golden dunes and the lush greenery in Yala, Uga Chena Huts blends Sri Lanka’s most celebrated features – its tropical beaches and its exotic wildlife.
The Yala hotel has been designed with its surrounding tropical jungles and saline lake in mind. Enveloped in a world of scenic splendour and exotic fauna, the ‘huts’ are luxurious private cabins that offer gorgeous views of the surrounding wilderness and seascape.

The Best Room For You
- Unique location bordering the Yala National Park, the Indian Ocean and a natural watering hole
- Each cabin comes with its own private pool
- Experienced rangers are on call to escort you on your own personalised safari
- The safari experience offers you the chance to encounter leopards, elephants, water buffalos, deer and stunning avifauna
- There are 14 luxury cabins on 7 acres of land ensuring privacy and seclusion
Exteriors, featuring design cues from the vernacular architecture of the region, are designed to harmonize with the jungle environment; interiors gently emphasise the ‘safari’ theme, with log furniture and rustic motifs that belie the ultra-modern comfort and convenience within. Each of these well-appointed cabins offered on all inclusive basis feature a living room, bedroom, en suite bathroom and shaded outdoor deck with built-in plunge pool and an outdoor shower. The luxurious bathrooms feature free-standing bathtubs and His and Hers vanity consoles.
Surrounded by unspoilt wilderness, Uga Chena Huts is well off the beaten track, lying at the end of a purpose built road that connects with the main Tissamaharama-Yala highway, a few minutes from the Yala park entrance. It is 315km from Colombo’s international airport and 26km from Tissamaharama, the nearest town. This is a place to get away from it all, to observe the magnificent profusion of wildlife and commune closely with nature.
It is probably easiest to drive to Yala National Park. The drive is about 5 hours from Colombo International Airport.
Swimwear and something comfortable for exploring the local area.
Taking its name from the nearby reefs and lighthouse, famed in seafaring history and lore, the Basses restaurant is decorated with a nautical theme and features urbane dining in a spectacular setting overlooking the Indian ocean. The Bar, filled with memorabilia that illustrate the history of Yala and its environs, is the perfect venue for a post-safari drink before dinner.
The resort is an idyllic sanctuary of relaxation, let the experienced therapists pamper you with a range of indulgent spa treatments and remedies to relax and rejuvenate your mind, body and soul.
Enjoy a personalized safari drive followed by a sun downer cocktail in the wild.
