Really good Culinary Experience

The dining experience at Uga Ulagalla was simply excellent. I had the pleasure of tasting authentic Sri Lankan cuisine that was among the very best I have ever had. The chef put so much passion into each dish and personalized my dining experience, asking for my preferences to ensure satisfaction. Each meal was a delight!

My stay at Ulagalla was absolutely unforgettable! The resort provided everything we needed for a perfect family getaway, from a stunning villa nestled in the jungle to a plethora of activities for everyone to enjoy. The private plunge pool was a highlight, and watching wildlife from our balcony was truly magical. However, I did notice that some of the dining options could be a bit pricey, especially the Sri Lanka banquet. Overall, it was an amazing experience that I would highly recommend!
