Jetwing Vil Uyana is a family endeavor dating back to the 1970s. The legacy continues with brother and sister, Hiran and Shiromal Cooray, applying a sustainable strategy that respects the environment without sacrificing comfort. The property lies within a man-made wetland and nature reserve for hundreds of species of birds, mammals, butterflies, and amphibians to call home. This paradise is situated a few hours by car from the lively capital city of Colombo and will have you feeling far, far away from the rest of the world.
The vastness of Sri Lanka’s nature is best observed atop Sigiriya rock, a World Heritage Site that holds 5th century palace ruins. In dwellings made of recycled materials, woven reed walls, and cogon grass roof, wake up to the sun glistening over the paddy field to understand the rich simplicity of eco-living.
