"Kelaya" means jungle in Sinhala. It is a collection of individual chalets and private rooms laid out like a small village, inspired by Leonard Woolf's novel "The Village in the Jungle".

Rooms have private bathrooms and garden views, and there is a shared kitchen, a garden and terrace. Hiriketiya beach is about 400 metres away.
