At a glance

Uga Ulagalla sits within 58 acres of working paddy fields, orchards, and gardens in the heart of Sri Lanka’s Cultural Triangle, built around a 150-year-old mansion that once served as the home of the local village chieftain.

The property is operated by Uga Escapes and holds 25 villas and suites, each with a private plunge pool, spread across the grounds with views across rice paddies, lily ponds, and two ancient reservoirs.

Anuradhapura, one of Sri Lanka’s most significant UNESCO World Heritage Sites, is a short drive away, as are Sigiriya and Dambulla. Half the property’s energy comes from an on-site solar farm, and the grounds are navigated by bicycle or on-call electric golf buggy. Dining splits between the restored mansion’s Liyawela Restaurant and Kamatha, a traditional clay-floored pavilion set among the paddy fields, with private dining experiences arranged throughout the stay.

In detail

Food and Drink

The Liyawela Restaurant sits in the restored mansion and serves Sri Lankan and international dishes using produce grown in the property’s own organic vegetable plots. The cocktail bar is in the same building and has access to an underground wine cellar.

Kamatha is a traditional clay-floored pavilion set among the paddy fields, serving a feast of traditional Sri Lankan dishes cooked in an age-old fashion. A treetop champagne breakfast, moonlit dinners by the pool, and other private dining experiences can be arranged throughout the stay on request.

Spa and Wellness

The sunken spa offers a range of treatments drawing on both traditional and contemporary therapies.

An Olympic-sized pool sits within landscaped gardens and is the main focal point for daytime relaxation, with a fully equipped gym on site. Beyond the property, activities cover horse riding by the lake, archery, kayaking, cycling through the paddy fields, birdwatching, guided nature walks, and village excursions.
