Just 3 miles from
the UNESCO world heritage
site; Sigiriya Rock Fortress lies VIL
UYANA; a luxurious boutique hotel
in an unusual siting across a paddy field. Here
is a true haven for nature lovers who whilst wishing to
escape from the stresses of everyday life also need to pamper
themselves in luxurious comfort. Spread over 24 acres
of marsh land, spacious accommodation is in 25 Tastefully appointed Chalets set in

Directors; Shailesh Adalja and Philip Beckwith in March
2007 and nearly all the photographs used on this page were taken during the visit. We
can, therefore, personally recommend Vil Uyana as one offering the ultimate in
eco luxury in an
unique, natural environmental setting. Relax
in the luxurious tranquility of the library surrounded by nature, dine
in the elevated dining room with its hand painted wall mural (plant
paints) and panoramic views or
unwind at the Ayurvedic Spa.

All this luxury is set amidst a natural paddy field environment.
The
unique backdrop for this exciting new "undiscovered" property
was the challenge of designing a luxurious eco friendly hotel on
reclaimed agricultural land within Sri Lanka's dry zone.
A wetland system was introduced to the reclaimed
paddy fields. With the first man-made lakes since King Parakramabahu’s era in the 11th Century, this exciting feature allows for the first time in Sri Lanka rooms to be built
Maldivian style on stilts over water.Drawing from the local, rural traditions, the buildings grew not out, but into the landscape. The ‘habitats’ naturalized by local flora and fauna created the timelessness of a healthy ecosystem providing the setting for peace and tranquility.
5 acres of land
have been used to re-grow paddy using traditional harvesting
methods, providing the new and exciting
feature ofluxurious
rooms within thesettings
of a functioning paddy field, yet another first in Sri Lanka! The
transformation of the land into patches of forested areas creates the
feeling of ultimate privacy and houses the Forest Villas, the largest of the villas.
Clearly the result is a haven for those who wish to escape from the norms of everyday life and for those nature lovers who wish to indulge in their hobbies whilst pampering themselves in luxurious comfort.
Here guests can dine in the privacy of their
villas or ‘under the stars’ or simply relax and pamper
themselves at the Island Spa offering a range of treatments to choose from.
Whether it is the nature lover in you or the task of ‘finding yourself again’ treat yourself to an experience…come be part of the lifestyle!
