Vil Uyana
  • Few other hotels can boast a wild but friendly crocodile who comes for breakfast each morning

  • During the harvest season, the village farmers carefully tend to the paddy fields surrounding the hotel

  • Vil Uyana's tranquil library is filled with numerous titles including books on Sri Lanka and has the most relaxing position, with a lotus-filled pond on one side and a waterway on the other

  • Consider the property more of an exclusive rural holiday village than a hotel


Vil Uyana offers guests wonderful views of the abundant wildlife. Drawing on local, rural traditions, the sumptuous dwellings here are at one with the surrounding landscape.

The property is sprawled over a large area of land and as such you can use buddies or bikes to get around. In your room you have ultimate privacy but the hotel also caters for people who are keen to be in a communal vibe as well. The main restaurant is very welcoming and the staff are all on hand to help at any time of the day.

If you want to get even closer to nature, take an early morning stroll with one of the excellent resident naturalists who will bring the forest to life. Vil Uyana has a variety of dining locations including Sulang, Apsara, Graffiti, the Mandhiya Library, in-room dining or even paddy field dining. Sulang features casual dining while Apsara is the property’s fine dining restaurant. Mandhiya Library is the perfect place to relax with your favourite drink and enjoy the perfect surroundings.

The hotel will be happy to arrange cultural tours and activities in the local area and beyond. You can climb the Sigiriya Rock Fortress located 5km away, visit Polonnaruwa and Anuradhapura, Sri Lanka’s cultural cities, visit the village temple and learn about Buddhism from the head monk of the temple, visit the craft village and learn about traditional Sri Lankan crafts. You could also enjoy a picturesque cycling or walking trail and the Loris watching tour to catch a glimpse of these adorable little creatures is a must.
