Sigiriya

Vil Uyana

Overlooking King Parakramabahu I’s artificial lake, emerged in forest that speaks of so much history, Jetwing Vil Uyana sits amidst paddy lands and reed beds and has been called the Best Eco Luxury Hotel in Sri Lanka, according to Harper’s Bazaar.

Jetwing Vil Uyana is located beneath the famed rock stronghold of Sigiriya. It was motivated and conceptuailsed by the Wildfowl and Wetland Trust’s habitat improvement work at the London Wetland Centre. Its proximity to Sigiriya rock fortress and Pidurangala monastery, 5 kms away, makes the hotel a hot choice to stay at, to experience historical Sri Lanka.

Why do we love Vil Uyana?

We love Jetwing Vil Uyana because it’s a tranquil hideaway and sanctuary for wildlife in a region that is dominated by human settlements and agricultural grounds. From otters to fishing cats to slender lorises, the flourishing habitats are a welcome sight.

Introducing a wetland system on reclaimed agricultural lands provides the unique backdrop for this exciting property. A strong ‘back to nature’ theme resonates through every moment at Jetwing Vil Uyana and the uniqueness of the experience – is unforgettable. It is a retreat perfect for those who wish to be close to the island’s rich biodiversity.
