Uga Chena Huts - Yala

Where untamed wilderness and unspoiled beaches meet

Let the powers of nature hold you captive.

Beside the ocean and the scrub jungle bordering Yala, our hotel sits perfectly immersed in the landscape. Here at Uga Chena Huts – our secluded sanctuary, your spirit will soar unbound, as free as the creatures, great and small, that share their precious home with us. You will hear songs of warm welcome in the breeze, the pounding waves, the echoing call of an eagle – even in the serene silence. Feel it more as you step into your luxurious ‘hut’, slip into your own private pool, soak up the views, and reunite your soul with nature.
