Tucked between the ancient wonders of Sigiriya and a lush expanse of wetlands, Jetwing Vil Uyana is one of Sri Lanka’s most extraordinary hideaways — a peaceful sanctuary where luxury and wilderness live in gentle harmony. This award-winning eco-retreat is a dream for travellers seeking something truly different: a place where you wake to birdsong, wander along wooden walkways suspended above reed beds and lakes, and end each day beneath a sky filled with stars.

Inspired by local landscapes and traditional design, the resort’s beautiful dwellings are discreetly scattered across five distinct habitats — from forest and marsh to paddy fields and shimmering water. Each spacious sanctuary blends natural textures with contemporary comfort, creating an atmosphere of serene seclusion. Many offer tranquil outdoor spaces or private pools, perfect for unwinding after exploring the nearby cultural treasures.

Dining at Jetwing Vil Uyana is a celebration of flavour and freshness, with seasonal produce and Sri Lankan spices taking centre stage. Enjoy elegant lakeside dinners, intimate private dining experiences, or relaxed meals that showcase the region’s rich culinary heritage — all accompanied by the soothing soundtrack of nature.

Days unfold at a wonderfully gentle pace. Visit Sigiriya Rock at sunrise, take guided nature walks with expert naturalists, explore the thriving wetlands that surround the resort, or simply drift into bliss at the spa. Whether you’re admiring wildlife from your private deck or reclining by the pool with a cool drink, the sense of tranquillity here is unmatched.
