Uga Ulagalla

In the heart of Sri Lanka is the famous cultural triangle, where the lovely Ulagalla nestles. Escape to the middle of nature, where picturesque rice fields and fruity orchards surround you. The dreamlike resort carries you away to an oasis of relaxation. The ancient cities of the cultural triangle, Sigiriya, Polonnaruwa, and Dambulla, are less than an hour's drive away, making the resort an ideal base for exploring the region. Colombo International Airport is 170 kilometers and approximately a four-hour drive away.

Nestled in the heart of the 23-hectare property is the former 19th-century manor house. Besides the pool, lounge bar, lobby, and spa area, the delicious Liyawela restaurant offers local and international culinary experiences. Another fantastic hotel facility is the wine cellar, which you can see through a glass floor window. They perfectly pair an aromatic wine with your dinner.

Another culinary highlight for the nature-loving gourmets is the organic garden, where you can learn about local cuisine during a cooking class. Most of the dishes that you order in the restaurant are made with ingredients from the garden.

In addition to culinary experiences, Ulagalla also offers plenty of leisure activities. Embark on a guided morning walk across the hotel grounds and watch the wildlife in their natural habitat. Hop into a kayak and paddle through the floating lotus flower islands. Or how about a discovery tour by bike or horseback? The diverse activities make it a hard decision about what you’ll want to do each day!

The twenty pool villas of the resort boast traditional architecture and ecologically-sustainable concepts. The incredible combination of sustainability and tradition complements the modern comfort and simple design that blends harmoniously with nature. You can expect warm wood tones and floor-to-ceiling panoramic windows in all of the decorated villas. As you open the front door for the first time, you’ll already feel at home, but instead, in the middle of the jungle! All villas come equipped with a high-end entertainment system and a private pool and sundeck. Bicycles are also available for all the villas.

Pool Villa – approx. 80m², detached villas with air conditioning, king-size bed, separate living room, plunge pool, sun deck, views of the garden, the lake, or rice fields

Ulagalla’s wellness area is like an underground cave. Shielded from the world, you can enjoy absolute relaxation and forget about your worries. They offer a wide range of treatments and therapies available for booking.
