Discover Uga Chena Huts

Blending tropical beaches and exotic wildlife, Uga Chena Huts has a unique location bordering the Yala National Park, the Indian Ocean, and a natural watering hole. The 18 luxury cabins, all with private pools, have awe-inspiring views of the surrounding wilderness and seascape. Experienced rangers escort you on personalised safaris in Yala National Park and its satellite parks as well as other nearby attractions.

The well-appointed, climate-controlled cabins are set in seclusion amid the trees. Each has a private plunge pool, spacious living area, free-standing bath, and shaded outdoor deck. There’s an outdoor main pool which is heated and camouflaged in the jungle greenery, and a spa, set by the pool with 2 thatched treatment rooms. Dining is in the laid-back restaurant atop a raised platform on the beach. Gaze over the ocean while you enjoy fish curries, coconut sambals, and European dishes. Leading off the restaurant is a sunken ocean-facing bar filled with poufs to lounge on while you sip a cocktail and enjoy the sound of the waves. There are 2 game drives a day into Yala National Park, with its grassy plains, dense jungle and a vast array of mammal and bird species.
