At a glance

Uga Chena Huts sits on Sri Lanka’s deep south coast, bordered on one side by Yala National Park and on the other by the Indian Ocean. The name comes from “chena,” the word for the small jungle clearings farmed by the ancient people of Yala.

Eighteen all-inclusive cabins are spread across seven acres of dunes and trees, each with a private plunge pool, and the wildlife that moves through the grounds includes elephants on the beach, flamingos and painted storks in the lagoon, and crocodiles in the water beyond.

Two game drives a day into Yala National Park are included in the rate, led by experienced rangers with knowledge of the park and its satellite areas. One of the most concentrated leopard habitats in the world, the drives also bring sightings of Asian elephants, sloth bears, crocodiles, sambars, and a wide range of birdlife.

In detail

Food and Drink

Basses Restaurant sits on a raised platform on the beach, with views across the ocean while you eat. The kitchen works with locally sourced and seasonal produce, putting Sri Lankan fish curries and coconut sambals alongside European dishes.

Breakfast, lunch, and dinner are included in the rate, along with soft drinks, teas and coffees, and selected wines, beers, and spirits at the bar. Leading off the restaurant is a sunken, ocean-facing bar with deep seating for guests.
Spa and Wellness

The spa at Chena Huts sits beside the main pool and holds two thatched treatment rooms offering massages, body treatments, and facials. The heated outdoor pool is set within the jungle greenery and positioned to feel like part of the landscape.

Beyond the spa and pool, activities available from the property include beach walks, cultural drives to Tissamaharama and the surrounding temples, birdwatching in the nearby bird sanctuaries, cooking classes, curd-making sessions, and a Junior Ranger Programme.
