Jetwing Vil Uyana, Cultural Triangle

rooms

Vil Uyana has four different and unique forms of dwellings each of which have been designed to blend in with the thriving eco-system of the region – the simplicity of the design belies the comfort and luxury inside, living up to their accolade of being named a Small Luxury Hotel of the World.

There are three Water Dwellings with woven ceilings, teak floors, and a private balcony overlooking the lake.

The eleven Paddy & Marsh Dwellings have their own deck with a view of the scrubland or the paddy fields. 2 Marsh Dwellings and all Paddy Dwellings have their own private plunge pool.

The ten Forest Dwellings are built from earth and stone, and each dwelling has two levels with a spacious bedroom and lounge area upstairs, and a dining room as well as a private swimming pool downstairs.

There are also 5 new Garden Dwellings which are situated within the gardens and not in the paddy/marsh fields.
