Before become Habarana village it was Chaaya village. Chaaya' means an 'image' or 'reflection'. Thus, the hotel, is an extension of its idyllic natural surroundings. Chaaya Village blends seamlessly into its natural surroundings amidst tall trees and tropical foliage and a serene lake that brings nature right to the doorstep. Numerous species of birds and butterflies, monitor lizards, monkeys and rock squirrels all share this natural habitat. Chaaya Village is a delight 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.

Chaaya Village is loved by UK holidaymakers because of its lovely rustic cottage style rooms that are unique in Sri Lanka. There are also acres of landscaped grounds to relax in and stroll through. The whole ambience accurately reflects the beautiful forest and rural landscapes of the Dambulla and Sigiriya areas.
Everything at Chaaya Village is as it should be. There is great management, good cuisine and exceptional levels of service.
The hotel is actually near to Habarana, which means that apart from Sigiriya being close by, its an easy excursion to the very interesting historic remains at Polonnaruwa and wild elephants at Minneriya National Park too.
Best Time To Go
Dambulla’s climate is fairly temperate throughout the year, without extreme variations. Its a great base for watching the Gathering Of Elephants at Minneriya National Park (July-Sept)
