Chena Huts , Yala Sri Lanka, The Deep South

Chena Huts will be the first luxury safari lodge to open near Yala National Park in December 2015. It’s the latest venture by Uga Escapes who have launched some of Sri Lankas most luxurious and unique properties over the last few years (Ullagalla, Jungle Beach and Uga Bay). With the national park on one side of the resort and the Indian Ocean on the other, Chena Huts will offer a superb experience in a terrific location. 

Here you’ll enjoy a marvellous safari adventure; daily game drives will get you close up and personal with elephants, exotic birdlife and most likely leopards. You’re also within walking distance of the beach and a lake (where you might be lucky enough to see elephants bathing). When not out and about on a wildlife quest you can relax in your plush accommodation in one of the 14 elegant cabins, each designed with earthy interiors and sumptuous soft furnishings. Each cabin has its own private deck and plunge pool a great spot from which to feel immersed in the fantastic location.

On the beach side of the resort there is a restaurant where you can take in panoramic sea views whilst traditional Sri Lankan cuisine is served.
