Saraii Village 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.
All rooms at Saraii Village have, free Wi-Fi, extra beds, a lounge, fresh linen, free natural toiletries, tea and coffee, room service, a private bathroom, and luggage storage.
The lounge spaces are uniquely Sri Lankan in their design which means you can expect open spaces and not air conditioned rooms, mosquito nets and not poisonous repellants, a rustic collection of furniture, a comfy range of cushions, and mattresses and mats to sleep, chill, and lay on.
Tree house suites The large tree house suites are Saraii’s newest addition to the collection of treetop experiences. The tree houses are large enough and laid out to house even eight guests. Each tree house suite comes with two floors with an extra-large bed and inbuilt bathroom upstairs and a large spacious lounge downstairs. The suites are perfect for couples looking for a romantic getaway or for friends who travel in groups. Superior tree house The superior tree house is located among Saraii's oldest tree houses with two floors providing room for three to four persons. The superior tree house is built on a sturdy old Palu tree, the tree house is 25 feet high and lives up to its name, known for giving its guests an immense feeling of safety high up in the leaves. Once you clamber up the ladder you will discover why it's also a guest favorite.
The superior tree house is a popular choice of accommodation amongst eco lodges in Sri Lanka and is also great for groups who want to bunk down together and families with kids.
Deluxe tree house The deluxe tree house is easily the coziest tree house at Saraii. Built for a maximum of three persons, this is a true hideout in the leaves. Each deluxe tree house at Saraii has a little survival box from binoculars, a cool box, and first aid kit. The deluxe three houses are perfect to look out of your tree house hideout with your morning tea or coffee, seated on the cushions spread out on the floor of your tree house.
Mud chalet suites The mud chalet suites are large and spacious with bigger than king-size beds and are perfect for the visitors wanting to stay grounded. The mud chalet suites are cozily placed for comfort. One faces the rising sun and is surrounded by garden patches of organic fruits and vegetables.

The mud chalet is private and spacious with a fan for additional cooling and mosquito nets. The cushioned outer porches of each suite at the eco lodge, allows guests to put their heels up and just enjoy the surroundings or catch up on some reading. The original mud chalets are unique in how they are built, using the age-old practice of mud walls that literally breathe. The walls absorb the cold and moisture at night, which help keep the interior cool during the heat of the day.

During this retreat, you will be served three delicious locally sourced meals including a special traditional Sri Lankan breakfast by the lake, a bonfire barbeque dinner, and a picnic by the lake. Food is a central part of life in Sri Lanka and at Saraii Village; you will find some mouth-watering surprises on the homegrown menu of the resident artisan cooks that will serve you authentic Sri Lankan meals with an occasional diversion to a Western dish whenever you may demand it.
The authentic Sri Lankan meals are from a seasonal menu that is decided by what's growing in the local garden, what's selling at the local market, and what can be found locally. Breakfast, lunch, and dinner can be an abundant spread of local fruit, traditional Sri Lankan curries and salads, lots of bread and rice, and even a Western spread for those who don't favor the spicy cuisine. At Saraii Village, you may also enjoy vegan specialties, snacks, and special drinks for an additional cost.
