The Bay - Pasikuda

Seamless seas, endless sands, and you

Your dream escape: run free, or just be.

On the spectacular eastern coast of Pasikuda, hotels such as The Bay an Uga Experience are unmistakable. Our luxurious resort sits quietly at home on this seemingly limitless stretch of beach – reputed to be the best in Sri Lanka. The skies put on grand displays here with pink gold sunrises. The pristine clear waters invite you to play, float, and see treasures down beneath. From inland, sites and sights beckon. The spa might distract you, or the pool, and there’s starlight dinners to look forward to. Out here, time is yours to own. So choose your pleasures. Enjoy.
