Uga Ulagalla
Surrender yourself to the epitome of Sri Lankan hospitality and traditional elegance at this five-star all-villa sanctuary, nestled within a 58-acre estate, dotted with lush paddy fields and lily ponds, in the heart of the cultural triangle. Once the ancestral abode of local Anuradhapura nobility, this resort cradles a 150-year-old mansion and boasts 25 expansive private pool villas, offering absolute seclusion and tranquillity in the lap of nature.
Cherish the beauty of your surroundings and explore the quaint hamlet of Thirrapane with authentic experiences such as village cycle tours, tuk-tuk tours, horseback riding, archery, or even kayaking in the local lake. Feast on delectable Sri Lankan delicacies at the Liyawela restaurant or indulge in a unique dining experience at Kamatha, sampling the local cuisine in the middle of a rice paddy field, or enjoy rejuvenating treatments at Uga Spa.
Cradled in the heart of Sri Lanka’s cultural triangle, the five-star Uga Ulagalla is a charming boutique haven, perfect for guests looking to experience adventure tourism and explore archaeological sites. A short 30-minute drive from Anuradhapura’s famed ancient attractions, including Buddhist monuments and an hour’s drive from the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Sigiriya Rock Fortress, this resort serves as the ideal base for soaking up Sri Lanka’s rich culture.
The resort is a 3.5-hour drive from the Bandaranaike International Airport (CMB) in the capital city of Colombo. Airport transfers are not included in your package; please plan accordingly.
