Uga Ulagalla

Nestled within the heart of the Cultural Triangle, Uga Ulagalla is a luxurious boutique resort spread across a sprawling 58-acre estate, anchored by a majestic 150-year-old mansion. This exquisite retreat features 25 villas, each complete with its own private pool, designed to seamlessly blend with the natural environment.

As a premier destination for relaxation and exploration, Uga Ulagalla is the ideal gateway to four UNESCO World Heritage Sites, where guests can discover cave temples, ancientcities, and the awe-inspiring rock fortress of Sigiriya.

We love excursions to Sigiriya, Dambulla Caves, Sacred City of Anuradhapura, and elephant viewing which are all easily done from Uga Ulagalla. We also suggest allowing time to relax and enjoy the luxurious villas and resort.
