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

Ulagalla was an unexpected and pleasant surprise on our trip to Sri Lanka. The hotel's website underplays the experience.  Great ambiance. In the middle of nature on incredible grounds including paddy fields. We saw monkeys, kingfishers, iguanas, mongoose and countless birds and butterflies. The bikes at each chalet were a real treat and we enjoyed leisure riding on the grounds... More

We had an amazing experience at Ulagalla - from the exceptional service and delicious cuisine, to the stunning scenery and beautiful chalets, it was one of the best places we have ever visited. We had such a lovely, relaxing time, and hope to return very soon! More
