Vil Uyana, a luxury lifestyle hotel that offers a unique experience of eco living within the environs of private nature reserve that boasts a manmade wetland system of lakes and reed beds. Combining rustic charm with luxurious modern comforts Vil Uyana promises an authentic experience of local tradition and culture. The deceptively rustic looking individual dwellings with thatched roofs are built on sturdy stilts above water. The interiors are an imaginative pot pourri of gleaming teak floors, rush covered walls, king sized beds swathed in soft white linen, rustic plunge pools, and splendid views from terraces and private balconies of the sprawling paddy fields, the endless sheet of water and the majestic mountain range in the distance.
