Seven-suite property opens on South Sri Lankan Coast

Uga, the boutique Sri Lankan hotel group renowned for its world-class hospitality, recently opened its seventh property, Uga Prava, in July.

Commenting on the property, Uga Owner and Managing Director Priyanjith Weerasooria, said: “We are thrilled to unveil the latest addition to our portfolio of boutique Sri Lankan hotels, Uga Prava, which follows the launch of Uga Halloowella, Hatton. Set on one of our nation’s most beautiful beaches, the property embodies the essence of modern minimalist design while remaining deeply connected to the tropical beauty of its setting. At Uga Prava, our guests are invited to slow their pace, to pause amidst the palm trees and ocean breeze, and reconnect with loved ones, as the warmth of Uga’s award-winning hospitality and the beauty of the south coast provide the perfect backdrop for reflection and renewal.”

Location

Nestled on the coastline of Tangalle and enveloped by several acres of lush gardens that gently descend to a private beach, Uga Prava offers a secluded haven of relaxation just five kilometres from town.

Tangalle and its surrounds, in Sri Lanka’s Southern Province, is best known for its mild climate and beautiful sandy beaches, where some of the world’s best surfing conditions await.

Accommodation

Uga Prava offers seven luxurious ocean-facing suites, with a modern and minimalist design created to reflect the delicate beauty of the nearby coral reefs. Clean lines, neutral colours and natural materials are complimented by endless ocean views and seamlessly blur the boundary between indoor and outdoor spaces. The seven-suite property evokes the tranquillity of the ocean with a palette consisting of soft white, sandy beige and oceanic blues.

Experience

As with all Uga resorts, the culinary experience is at the heart of Uga Prava’s identity. The signature restaurant and bar provide indoor-outdoor dining, with a spacious open-air area that invites diners to soak in the tropical ambience and connect with the ocean beyond.

For those in search of active adventure, endless activities await both on and off the water. Known for being one of the most spectacular and safest areas to surf in Sri Lanka, guests can grab a board and surf the pristine waters of Unakuruwa. Excursions provide the chance for guests to discover the local culture with cycling tours of one of the country’s oldest fishing villages.
