Uga Ulagalla

Uga Ulagalla is where the wild things are – expect to see monkeys, peacocks and elephants galumphing around this Cultural Triangle treat. An open-air spa, resident horses, ravishing dining and serene villas make romance as natural as air here.

The hotel sits within Sri Lanka’s Cultural Triangle, a destination steeped in history and heritage. The hotel’s immediate surrounding area is rural and remote – don’t expect lots of distractions.

Room Types

Ulagalla Villa

The eco-friendly Ulagalla Villas are constructed from Durra straw that’s 100% recyclable and sound-reducing, which adds to the location’s tranquillity. Floor-to-ceiling glass windows throughout these generous villas grace you with views of the gardens, paddy fields or a calming lake. Outside, enjoy your own deck complete with outdoor dining and a private plunge pool. The spacious, light-filled bathroom features double sinks, a large rainfall shower or massaging showerhead and earthy timber highlights. The bedroom is blessed with a king-size wooden four-poster bed and central lighting controls by your bedside. Access free WiFi from the in-room desk or relax in the separate living area while listening to the pre-loaded iPod on a Geneva Bluetooth enabled sound-system – there’s a 42-inch LCD TV, too. Other amenities include a hair dryer, bathrobes, slippers, ironing board and iron, a safe, air conditioning (individually controlled), a minibar, complimentary bottled water and access to plunge Hansa Ceylon Coffee and bespoke loose Zesta tea. You can also hop on one of the bicycles that come with the villa and explore the grounds, too.

Nikawewa Villa

Perfect for families with teens, or those who relish a little more room to move, this 1,200sq m two-bedroom villa has central living and dining areas that overlook acres of rice paddy fields through floor-to-ceiling glass windows. Outside, a deck and private pool extends the length of the villa and is the only separation between you and the paddies in the distance. Timber-accented bedrooms are decorated with natural fibres and equipped with king-size beds with central lighting controls nearby. The two open-plan bathrooms both have double sinks, an outdoor rain shower and a separate soaking tub. Access the free WiFi from the in-room desk or relax in the separate living area while listening to the pre-loaded iPod on a Geneva Bluetooth enabled sound-system – there’s a 42-inch LCD TV, too. Other amenities include a hair dryer, bathrobes, slippers, ironing board and iron, a safe, air conditioning (individually controlled), a minibar, free bottled water and access to plunge Hansa Ceylon Coffee and bespoke loose Zesta tea. You can also hop on one of the bicycles that come with the villa and explore the grounds, too. This villa is not suitable for under-12s.
