Lock in a great price for Uga Bay by Uga Escapes – rated 9.3 by recent guests!

to get started.

We had a perfect stay at Uga Bay, so much so, that we ended up extending our stay! The rooms were beautiful and had everything you could need. The food at both breakfast and dinner was very good and had a wide range of choices to suit everyone (we are vegetarian). The beach was beautiful, the pool was huge, and the property was extremely well maintained. The thing that really made Uga Bay stand out was it’s amazing staff. Every single one of them had a smile on their face and were so friendly and welcoming. From Nissanka on the beach remembering which sunbeds we wanted, to Sumith in the restaurant who specially ordered us some Sri Lankan pancakes he thought we should try, and took the time to talk to us every day. The managers Dammika and Rohana really went above and beyond to make sure we had the best stay possible, as did the whole team. We only wish we could have stayed longer!

Hannah, United Kingdom

The breakfast is really outstanding. The grounds are immaculately maintained, as is the beach front.

Mannywij, United States of America

Everything it's a beach paradise! Did a cooking class, had an amazing massage, drank pina coladas on the beach, used the jet skis! Played table tennis!

James, United Kingdom

Stayed as part of honeymoon in Sri Lanka, staff were incredibly helpful and friendly. Best beach side facilities of any of the neighbouring hotels, paradise!

Michael, Ireland

Friendly staff, great view, big and confortable rooms. Wifi works in the room. Food is ok. You can borrow bikes

Álvaro, Chile

The beach in front of the hotel is nice and big, and the hotel's property has the best spot in the middle of the bay. Nice pool and gardens with palm trees around the property. Staff very friendly and helpful; due to our long stay management kindly upgraded us to a top-floor bungalow free of charge.

Bertrand, Germany

The cocktails were super (try the Uga Signature if you like passion fruit). Great location. Staff were lovely.

Prasanna was great Staff excellent Formidable entertainment options including games room

Kumaran, United Kingdom

Our beach studio was amazing, very spacious and clean with a one minute walk to the beach. Staff was super friendly and provided a lot of different options for vegetarians/vegans. The gym was well equipped and had air condition. Very big breakfast buffet with new options every day (nice juices). Overall we really miss this place and want to come back. The management and the whole staff truly do an amazing job there

Nothing - we loved this place!
Staff made us feel so welcome and really went out their way to make our stay perfect. The rooms are stunning and well designed. We were in the lower floor rooms which meant to we could open our doors and walk into the beach within 10 paces, couldn't ask for anything more! Beach has beautiful white sand and delicious cocktails. food from the beach cafe is great and i also had the best Balinese massage i've ever had (the masseuse herself was from Bali which made my choice of massage very easy)

“Luxury hotel”

The service around the hotel was a bit sporadic - sometimes it was great, but sometimes not so good. For example it was hard to get a lounger and no one from the hotel could help us find one to use when we arrived even though some hadn’t been used for hours (we were watching whilst having some food!) Would be good for the staff to help more with that as we saw a lot of families reserving loungers at the start of the day but not using them. Also we waited well over an hour for our evening meal one night when we chose to eat a la cart. We weren’t offered drinks or an explanation as to the delay, then our starters arrived at the same time as the mains so it was a bit of a rush to eat everything before it got cold. I don’t think this was understood as a problem as we weren’t given an apology until we explained the wait and that we wanted starters first! I’m sure these issues will improve the longer staff have been in the job and trained etc. Also - it would be good to have an evening lounge bar on the beach with comfortable chairs and shisha (like in the photos on this site!!!!) as that looked amazing in the photos but there wasn’t anything like that outside. Overall though a fab hotel.
Absolutely perfect beach location with crystal clear waters, this is a truly luxury hotel that was very welcome at the end of a long trip around Sri Lanka. The rooms are large, clean and luxurious, lovely well kept grounds and large pool. We really enjoyed the buffet food, particularly the sections for freshly cooked food to order. Enjoyed sitting out at the beach bar for a few beers at sundown and that bar also served great snacks. Had a treatment in the spa, that was really lovey!

“Fantastic views and rooms, expect to pay a lot for drinks and food”
- • Leisure trip

- • Stayed 3 nights
We upgraded one room from beach to sea view, and it was exactly the same as the beach one but one floor above. You couldn't actually see much more because of the coconut trees. Definitely not worth the $92 extra - in fact we thought the beachfront veranda and view was nicer. The food is really really good - but its a buffet so the restaurant feels like a canteen no matter what the staff do to personalise it. Sitting outside is better. The extras (food if you are not full board) and drinks are really expensive - the most expensive we had in SL. There are not many restaurants/ places to eat nearby - its basically resorts. It would be nice if you could borrow bikes to get into the village rather than have to hire them.
This is a beautiful hotel - only 48 rooms and masses of space, there are large green lawns with swings, lovely seating areas, coconut trees, and fantastic views of the sea. Its a stunning location. The rooms are excellent, spacious, clean, really comfy beds, and very nice outside seating areas. There are lovely large containers of water to wash sand off your feet before going to your rom - very nice touch. We had a fresh fish BBQ on the beach which was stunning.There is a very good local watersports centre next door - the catamaran half day trip was fantastic for snorkelling and paddle boarding.

Sometimes it felt a bit isolated from the surroundings though I do understand this is to guarantee safety if the guests. You have to tell yourself to go and explore the area!!
The property feels luxurious and is truly beautiful. The beach is gorgeous!! The food was very good - we always enjoyed going for dinner. The staff were very attentive and extremely professional. We thought it was really nice to notice that local people were working there!
