Spread over 24 acres, at its heart is a wetland system consisting of paddy fields, marshes, and waterways reintroduced by the hotel. Individual dwellings, luxuriously appointed within, and blending seamlessly into the rural landscape, are located over lakes, marshes and paddy fields. During the harvest season, the village farmers carefully tend to the paddy fields surrounding the hotel. The wilderness provides a natural habitat for numerous species of birds and butterflies. The Vil Uyana experience captures the heritage and natural wonders of this island nation all in one place. <img src="http://farm1.static.flickr.com/128/387742651_f01c0596e8_o.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /> The sound of crickets on a quiet moonlit night, the sight of a peacock strutting by with its glorious wings trailing behind, fruit bats wheeling overhead at sunset, the haunting sound of a flautist coming from the restaurant, and the Sigiriya rock as it emerges from the misty sky at dawn are all sights and sounds that will forever be etched in your memory.
