Chena Huts Overview

Set amongst the golden dunes and the lush greenery in Yala, Chena Huts by Uga Escapes blends Sri Lanka’s most celebrated features – its tropical beaches and its exotic wildlife.

This Yala hotel has been designed with its surrounding tropical jungles and saline lake in mind. Enveloped in a world of scenic splendour and exotic fauna, the ‘huts’ are luxurious private cabins that offer awe-inspiring views of the surrounding wilderness and seascape.

The spacious 7-acre property accommodates just fourteen luxurious 1130sq-ft guest cabins.

These cabins include 781sq-ft, climate-controlled, living spaces as well cabin exteriors that feature design cues from the region’s vernacular architecture. These abodes are designed in harmony with its wild environs while the interiors subtly highlight safari themes, featuring log furniture and African-style rustic motifs that belie the ultra-modern creature comforts afforded within.

These well-appointed cabins contain spacious living areas, cosy bedrooms, en suite private bathrooms featuring free-standing bathtubs and twin vanity controls, as well as shaded outdoor decks with built-in private 5m plunge pools. These lavish dwellings are also equipped with variable-intensity central lighting, a 42” LED TV, minibar, tea and coffee and daily housekeeping facilities.

With its varied settings and its secluded location, Chena Huts offers a host of unique dining options to suit the mood you’re in. The Basses restaurant gets its name from the nearby reef and lighthouse, and its nautical-themed interior design creates the perfect ambience for its urbane fine-dining fare. You can also dine under a canopy of stars by the beach alongside a romantic bonfire.
