What an incredible place, a Sri Lankan traditional home converted into 20 private chalets on a 22hect land. Service was beyond belief. A special note about mr sumanaratne, without him this experience will not be the same. Food was ok. Lots of things to do with kids, great place to relax, I am not a nature person but I loved... More

The only regret we had about this resort was that we could only stay one night.The welcome, the efficiency of all of the staff ,the accommodation, the restaurant and the food were all simply top notch. Bicycles provided for each individual chalet to explore the extensive grounds and a private plunge pool make this place an absolute ideal location for... More

Ulagalla resort is situated in rural Sri Lanka. The hotel has a eco-friendly concept which is admirable. It has a beautiful old colonial house at its centre, with surrounding chalets in the extensive grounds. The chalet we stayed in was beautiful, with almost all the modern comforts, including a private jacuzzi. It also had 2 bicycles, although one needed the... More

The chalets are fantastic though the site of ugly plumbing under the concrete stilts is very off putting. The staff are extremely welcoming, very friendly and probably a rarity in this country....BRAVO!!! One slight hiccup with the staff: The ability of the waiters to listen and write down the order correctly (esp for breakfast in bed) is a challenge....the archery... More

Ulagalla takes Sri Lanka's hotels to a new level. The staff are very friendly and kind and nothing is too much trouble. The lack of restrictions on when and where you eat is refreshing and the food is fabulous. Everyone is busy working on the estate whether in the gardens, with the horses or in the main house. The resorts... More

We had booked only 2 nights here and when we got here we decided to extend our stay. Wish we could have stayed longer. The accomodation and facilities are superb. We had the 30 meter swimming pool to ourselves and the grounds are beautiful. The rooms are the ultimate in luxury. Only one minor complaint- the menu needs to be... More

The setting is perfect with lovely villas doted around the perimeter of the most beautiful paddy fields. The core is a handsome old manor house to which we were welcomed with a charming bell ringing ceremony. There a perfect shaded dining room on the first floor providing delicious food. Our villa was terrific and suited us perfectly but would not... More

Ulagalla is undoubtedly one of the best properties we have stayed in. It has been layed out in a way that blends into the natural beauty of the country side. The chalets wich are extremely luxurious also allowes you to absorb the bird life in all it's splendour. It's staff aka associates are extremely curtious, friendly and helpful. A minimum... More

We (a family of 5) reserved 2 rooms at Ulagalla resorts for a total of 2600 USD 5 months in advance to ensure us of a 4-night new year highlight in our three week vacation tour around Sri Lanka. When arriving at the site, we first had to negotiate for about 15 minutes outside of the security gate to be... More

Just came back from my first trip to SL. The only bad thing I have to say about this resort is we only had one night and it was at the beginning. Everything after paled. This, and Tea Trails in Hatton, were our favourites of the trip. The large area, set in paddy fields, has only 20 villas (although they... More
