Arrive in style with a night at Uga Residence in Sri Lanka’s capital. Relax at this calm city oasis, a 180-year old mansion converted into a chic eight-suite boutique. Step out and enjoy the nightlife of neighbouring Park Street Mews, or recharge ready for adventures at the hotel’s Rare Bar and Kitchen, considered by some to be Colombo’s best restaurant. Watch the world roll by as you drive in air-conditioned comfort to Uga Ulagalla in Anuradhapura, breaking the journey at the charming cashew-growing village of Kajugama. Stay in 58 acres of lush green gardens at the only hotel in the Cultural Triangle, where every villa has a pool. Spend two days visiting iconic landmarks like the Sigiriya rock fortress, Dambulla cave temple, and the ancient ruins of the sacred city of Anuradhapura. Travel from the Cultural Triangle to the east coast beaches of Trincomalee and Pasikudah for three days of indulgence on Sri Lanka’s most beautiful shores. Check in first at Trincomalee’s Uga Jungle Beach, where 49 luxurious modern chalets with spectacular ocean and lagoon views have been carefully crafted into their

natural surroundings. Slow down and do nothing, pamper in the spa or, between spring and autumn, cruise in search of blue whales and spinner dolphins. Complete your downtime days at Uga Bay in the world-class diving spot of Pasikudah. Enjoy watersports, sailing, snorkelling and scuba, or simply sit back and enjoy a candlelit meal on the sand. What could persuade you away from such a blissful time? How about Sri Lanka’s most abundant wildlife reserve? Yala National Park is home to elephants, crocodiles, sloth bears, buffaloes, monkeys, and the highest concentration of leopards anywhere in the world. These big cats are elusive, but that’s OK, as you have a full-day safari to search between two nights at Uga Chena Huts, your ultra-private pool villa resort in the jungle. Finish the tour with a pre-flight night back at Uga Residence and toast your amazing experiences over dinner in the city.
