Vil Uyana

It’s hard to know where to start with a resort such as Vil Uyana - it’s one of those properties that takes you by surprise and leaves you stumbling for words….in a very good way. The entire resort is simply stunning; luxurious, wild and unreserved all rolled into one.

In many ways, it’s a series of contradictions: an ecologically responsible resort with private pools and air-conditioning; mouth-wateringly beautiful, boutique-style chalets in the back of beyond; an infinity pool and sundeck side by side with working rice paddies and marshland. But it really works. The exquisite chalets have a single-floor, mezzanine-style layout or are split over two floors. All are spread over a variety of landscapes, ranging from paddy field to marshland, lakeside to forest edge. Facilities are of the highest standard; privacy, space and tranquility are guaranteed. Wildlife is abundant, with species-identity boards usefully located throughout the resort. If the peace gets too much, however, you're only a short walk or electric buggy ride away from the resort's reception area, where you'll find a lake-edge infinity pool, terrace and bar, first-floor, open-sided restaurant, spa and gym.
