STUNNING COAST AND ASTONISHING WILDLIFE
A new addition to Uga Escape’s luxury portfolio, eco-friendly Chena Huts puts you in touch with two of Sri Lanka’s greatest treasures – its stunning coast and astonishing wildlife.
Nestled in seclusion among dunes and tropical jungle on Sri Lanka’s southern coast, Chena Huts has an enviable location between Yala National Park and the Indian Ocean. The property overlooks a beach where you can watch elephants frolicking in the surf and, in summer, the magic of baby turtles hatching from their shells. Flamingos can even be spotted in the enchanting lagoon adjacent the property.
EXTREMELY SPACIOUS AND LUXURIOUS
Blending beautifully into the natural surrounds are the property’s 14 detached, thatched roof ‘huts’, inspired in design by the homes of local farmers. A modest name for what are extremely spacious and luxurious bungalows, each with a private plunge pool and expansive shaded deck – perfect for relaxing in-between exciting game drives in Yala National Park. Wildlife roam freely around the huts, making for wonderfully frequent sightings.

Planning my first solo trip felt like a big step, but The Ultimate Travel Company made it easy from the outset. I reached out over a year in advance, and Rob Kent quickly put together a thoughtful itinerary based on exactly what I was looking for, securing great flights and always being available to talk things through. Everything ran smoothly and I felt looked after every step of the way. The accommodation in Japan, Fiji and Tahiti was excellent and the experiences unforgettable.
A hugely enjoyable nine-day trip, expertly organised from start to finish. The itinerary covered everything we wanted to see and do, with excellent guides, drivers and seamless logistics throughout. The documentation was clear and helpful, and the London office was consistently responsive, knowledgeable and efficient.
