SARAII VILLAGE

What began as a small hangout area in a rustic setting has grown to become one of the most breathtaking and internationally acclaimed luxury hotels, which offers tourists the opportunity to experience Sri Lankan food, culture and wildlife in an authentic setting.

Nestled beneath a canopy of trees in the heart of Weerawila, Saraii Village is a secluded estate that comprises sustainably built mud chalets and tree houses, as well as a slow food restaurant, saltwater pool with a bar, spa and yoga centre, and a local craft retail outlet – all of which combine to ensure a perfect weekend getaway.

Staying true to its Hebraic name, meaning ‘the essence,’ Saraii Village strives to ensure that visitors capture the true Sri Lankan essence during their stay. What truly sets it apart is its undying commitment to promoting environmental sustainability, making it one of the most eco-conscious hotels in the island.

From cooking one’s own catch with local fishermen, and pottery and palmyra weaving lessons, to cycling tours, responsible wildlife safaris, birdwatching and rod fishing, Saraii Village offers a series of stimulating customised experiences for guests.

Aspiring to replicate the model in more locations, Saraii’s primary vision remains to become a leader in the global sustainable travel trade, and give back to the community and the planet as a whole.
