Saraii Village

Saraii means ‘Essence’ and this unique immersive concept allows visitors to experience authentic Sri Lankan life to the fullest. Saraii believes that travel is not just about seeing the new, but about feeling and breathing in a rustic experience that touches your soul. As one of the most eco-conscious hotels in Sri Lanka, we invite the conscientious traveler seeking something off the beaten path, and encourage our visitors to embrace the Saraii philosophy of respecting the serene environment that surrounds them.

The sensation of fine wine and good food in your private nest under the stars is all part of Saraii’s magic spell. Hidden beneath a canopy of trees deep in the heart of Weerawila, Saraii Village is a private estate featuring a series of mud chalets designed to imitate the open air concept of rural homes in the locale. However, the highlights of the property and a firm favorite with guests of all ages, are the magical tree houses, built especially for the wild at heart.

Based on the concept of sustainable tourism, Saraii was ranked amongst Trip-Advisors “Top 10 Most Extraordinary Treetop Hotels in the World”, awarded as a “World Luxury Treetop Lodge - 2016” and the “Sustainable Operations Award 2016” by Good Market.
