Uga Jungle Beach

Once in a lifetime experience - best holiday ever.

✓ I loved everything about Uga Jungle Beach Resort, essentially sustainable luxurious accommodation at its very best. Its beautiful wooden gate opened to a jungle paradise with every detail crafted to complement its beautiful location. Warm welcome from Mr Dhammika and the team. Delicious fresh juice…after the long drive down…yes please! Enjoyed the wonderful architecture like the suspended first floor front desk and the exquisitely crafted exposed beam chalets with huge beds and the cosiest beddings. My jungle room set up enabled me enjoy secluded relaxation or hear birds chirping and roaring ocean waves as needed. My room was well maintained so always felt as great in it as outside. Option of air conditioning and fan and having an additional rainfall shower were great treats to enjoy after outdoor activities. Spa treatments were lovely, perfectly set against the soothing sound of a mini waterfall. Having a private beach and bar meant enjoying the ocean and safe walks at any time. Exceptional food by Chef Prabatha was customised to my individual palate. Deliciousness delivered in every bite of local seafood curries to tailored healthy juices Offers different dining areas but the best is treetop dinner in a swing chair. Ms Gothami kicked service up a notch by showing how to rep Sri Lankan style in a Sare, while Jagath, Mandawa and Dananjaya spoilt me with everything I wanted at the bar at any time. As a solo female traveller, the hotel was amazing for getting me the best local guide, Pasan, who is a naturist. We went on three tours - temple, bike and mangroves - His passion and knowledge of Sri Lanka. rich history, unique flora and fauna made each tour a lifetime experience. Soaked in the history of rice paddies and most beautiful sunset cycling, marvelled at the cultural significance of temples, and enjoyed the most mindful boat ride ever. Pasan knew the best areas for local spices, gem watching and fishing.

✗ That I couldn’t stay longer

We could have found a better place to stay for the amount paid.

✓ The Jungle environment

✗ This is supposed to be 5* hotel in Srilanka, but it turns out it should be a 4* hotel if you compare it to the international standard.

Fabulous

very good basis for enjoying and exploring the Sri Lanka East coast.

✓ quiet beach beach, friendly staff, staff generally eager and helpful

✗ uncoordinated and often slow service

Living with nature. I highly recomment if you want to relax and rest while staying away from crowd

✓ Beach, cabin, nature, pool

Fabulous

✓ Had been to the Hotel at an earlier trip and thus knew what was expecting us. The location in the jungle with the nearby beach is just unique: a peaceful retreat in the middle of nature. Architecture of both lobby-area and huts are such as to perfectly fit into the environment. Extremely professional, motivated, and helpful staff at all levels. Wonderful cooking with beautifully arranged and very tasty dishes. A clear recommendation in the Trincomalee-Nilaveli area.
