Introduction
'Chaaya' means an 'image' or 'reflection'. Thus, the hotel, Chaaya Village is an extension or representation of its idyllic natural surroundings. Chaaya Village, set on an acre of garden, blends seamlessly into its natural surroundings amidst tall trees and tropical foliage and a vast serene lake that brings nature right to the doorstep. Numerous species of birds and butterflies, monitor lizards, monkeys and rock squirrels have all shared this natural habitat with the surrounding villagers for centuries - an experience that guests at Chaaya will treasure and want to revisit time and again. Chaaya Village is a treat for those wanting to experience Sri Lanka's unhurried and wholesome rural village lifestyle, the rich cultural heritage and tropical wilderness with the added comforts of luxurious living, good food and courteous service.
