Jetwing Vil Uyana, A Luxury Reserve

Jetwing Vil Uyana, A Luxury Reserve

10/10 Excellent
"Had the most amazing four night say at Vil Uyana. From the moment we arrived, greeted with a blue water lilly each - a nice touch - to our departure, the stay was a delight. Immediately out chalet was upgraded to a waterside property and we were introduced to our personal butler Prasanna who went out of his way to make our stay a delight, including serving us at breakfast and our evening meal, and showing us round the hotel organic farm where they source much of the ingredients for the wonderful meals in the restaurant situated above the lake. All the staff, including the lovely Dilshani who also served our table were so friendly and welcoming at every turn. Our ‘chalet’ was so comfortable and roomy we couldn’t believe it and staff came twice a day to service the room. We also took advantage of the hotel naturalist staff and enjoyed a birdwatching trip and a night time walk around the estate searching for the Loris who live there. Importantly for us the sustainability of the project is impeccable with as much use of local materials and as possible and a genuine commitment to sustainability. We were also keen to use local Sri Lankan hotels and guesthouses on our trip and Jetwings is just that, employing and training local people, especially young people and women ‘returners’. Brilliant!"

  1. Book for the cheapest times: Galnewa presents a range of attractions that are definitely worth exploring, especially those linked to its landmarks, history, culture, and natural beauty. For those on a budget, it's advisable to plan for at least three days to fully appreciate what the area has to offer. With many affordable options available, visitors can enjoy great value for money while experiencing the rich heritage and stunning landscapes of Galnewa. Additionally, prices for some attractions might drop during off-peak seasons, making it an even more enticing destination for budget-conscious travellers.
  2. Look for last-minute deals on Hotels.com: To explore last-minute deals in Galnewa, you may visit the DealsOpens in a new window or Last-Minute Deals sections on Hotels.com, where you could find discounted rates as your travel date approaches. Enabling email alerts or push notifications can keep you informed about flash sales and special promotions, helping you save on your stay. Additionally, Smart Shopping is a useful comparison tool within the app that allows you to compare hotel prices and amenities, increasing your chances of finding the best options. If rooms open up or prices drop, you'll be among the first to know for your last-minute getaway.
  3. Be flexible with dates: Prices can fluctuate due to factors like the hotel's location, star rating, and the time of year. Being flexible with your travel dates might help you save on your stay at a hotel in Galnewa. For those in search of something special, boutique hotels can provide a more personalised experience and potentially better value. When you book through Hotels.com, we'll inform you if the price for your chosen dates is above or below the average. If the price is on the higher end, we'll recommend alternative dates that could be more affordable, giving you a better chance of securing a good deal.
  4. Consider your location: Staying in the heart of major cities in Galnewa provides a wealth of convenience and easy access to local attractions, but it often comes at a premium. Accommodations in bustling city centres are more likely to be costly compared to those in smaller towns or rural areas, which generally tend to be more affordable. If you're keen on sticking to a budget, you might consider booking a hotel outside the city centre, though this could mean a bit of extra travel to reach key sights. Alternatively, exploring nearby towns or cities can reveal plenty of attractions while often offering more wallet-friendly options.
