Access to Orealla is primarily via boat along the Corentyne River. Transportation can be challenging and dependent on river conditions. Basic services like healthcare and education are available, though resources can be limited. The village has a primary school and a health post.

Orealla maintains a strong connection to its Arawak cultural heritage. Traditional practices, language, and storytelling play an important role in community life. The village council is responsible for local governance and represents the interests of the community.
