Centred on a 150-year-old former chieftain's mansion in Sri Lanka's cultural triangle, around 25km from the ancient city of Anuradhapura and within reach of Sigiriya and Dambulla.
If you love immersing yourself in the history and architecture of old buildings the Ulagalla Resort will not disappoint, as it dates back 150 years and was originally a mansion belonging to a chieftain. Ulagalla is just a 30 minute drive from Anuradhapura and is a secluded, luxury resort in a lush, tropical environment that is far from the bustle of everyday life. Accommodation includes villas with pools, a spa experience that has been designed to resemble a cave and superb dining options either in the restaurant, on a private deck, or actually in the paddy fields that surround the resort!
