Chena Huts by Uga Escapes, a luxurious five-star retreat in Yala, Sri Lanka, nestles amidst tropical jungles and golden dunes, offering 14 private cabins that blend rustic elegance with the wild beauty of the nearby Yala National Park and Indian Ocean.

Each of the 14 spacious cabins, designed to echo local architecture, features air-conditioned living rooms, bedrooms, and en suite bathrooms with freestanding bathtubs, twin vanity consoles, and premium toiletries. Private plunge pools and shaded terraces provide awe-inspiring views of the jungle or seascape, creating a secluded haven of comfort and tranquility tailored for nature lovers and discerning travellers.

Dining at The Basses, named after nearby reefs and a lighthouse, offers a nautical-inspired setting with a menu blending international and Sri Lankan cuisine, from fresh seafood to vibrant local dishes, enjoyed with views of wildlife along the beach. The Jungle Bar crafts signature cocktails and a wide selection of beverages, perfect for unwinding under starlit skies. The infinity pool, overlooking the wilderness, invites serene swims, while in-room spa treatments using natural ingredients provide holistic rejuvenation. Guests can embark on thrilling morning and evening safari-style game drives in Yala National Park, spotting leopards, elephants, and exotic birds, or enjoy guided nature walks, bird watching, cycling, and cultural performances showcasing Sri Lanka's rich traditions.

Located just a 5-minute drive from Yala National Park, 14 kilometers from Tissamaharama, and 19 kilometers from Kataragama, Chena Huts is a 6-hour drive from Colombo International Airport, offering seamless access to the region's wildlife, beaches, and cultural landmarks.
