It’s located, moreover, on what is arguably one of the best Sri Lankan beaches, Pasikuda. This is one of the best-rated beach resorts in Sri Lanka by guests and industry experts alike and it’s easy to see why.

Though the island offers a multiplicity of attractions, many guests travel to Sri Lanka simply to experience the amazing beaches. Sri Lankan beaches are some of the most spectacular in the world, and Uga Bay is one of the finest resorts in the country. Each of its 46 spacious rooms and suites offers breathtaking views of Pasikuda Bay.

For the adventurous, it’s a few dozen steps from the beach to the reef, a snorkeler’s paradise as well as a great spot to fish for Trevally jack and grouper. Farther out, famous WW2 wrecks attract scuba divers, while fun-lovers can rent jet-skis from the hotel for an hour or more of excitement.
