Deep in the countryside of Sri Lanka’s Cultural Triangle, Ulagalla offers a chance to experience a very different side of the island. Reached by winding through paddy fields and rural villages, the 58-acre estate feels wonderfully removed from the outside world.
At the heart of Ulagalla is its heritage. The property was once a traditional Waluwwa, the grand ancestral residence of one of Sri Lanka’s elite families. Staying here offers a glimpse into how these families lived in another era, while enjoying all the comforts of a luxury retreat.
The estate is surrounded by lush greenery, reservoirs and abundant wildlife, with 25 private chalets tucked discreetly into the landscape. Each has its own plunge pool, spacious terrace and beautiful views, creating a wonderful sense of privacy and connection with nature.
Ulagalla has also taken great care to preserve its natural surroundings. The property was developed without felling trees, with thousands of trees planted to enhance the landscape and provide a home for the birds and wildlife that fill the estate.
With its peaceful setting and easy access to Anuradhapura, Mihintale and the other treasures of the Cultural Triangle, Ulagalla is as much about experiencing Sri Lanka’s history and rural life as it is about luxury.
A chance to step into the world of old Sri Lankan aristocracy, surrounded by nature and with every modern comfort at your fingertips.
Our collection of 25 luxury chalets is thoughtfully positioned across an expansive natural landscape, offering exceptional privacy and seclusion.
