Uga Ulagalla - Anuradhapura
Let traditions past and present inspire you
Deep in the heart of Sri Lanka’s first ancient kingdom of Anuradhapura, our hotel, Uga Ulagalla sits secluded – a legacy to cultural traditions of old. Hidden amidst acres of greenery and built around a historic 150 year old mansion – once home to a village chieftain, past luxuries and modern comforts now live here in perfect harmony. History resides close by – world heritage sites such as Anuradhapura and Sigiriya; and culture thrives in the rural paddylands and villages around us. At Uga Ulagalla, what you’ll find is the very spirit of Sri Lanka welcoming you home.
