Uga Riva - Negombo
Where peaceful surrounds and easy access converge
In the busy resort town of Negombo, hotels dot the shoreline, but hidden in the leafy suburbs is the special treasure we call Uga Riva. This beautifully restored 180 year old colonial manor was once the beloved home of a prominent Sri Lankan family where many dignitaries – notably Mahatma Gandhi, stayed as welcome guests. Since then, celebrated architects have renovated and extended the layout – adding their own touches, enhancing the appeal. Now, in this enchanting seven bedroom boutique property, the warmth of our welcome is yours – whether it’s a quick stopover, or a longer stay.
