GOLDEN SHORES
Set amid swaying palms on the golden shores of Pasikudah Bay, Uga Bay is known for pampered stays on Sri Lanka’s east coast.
For relaxed, do-little beach holidays, Uga Bay is the perfect candidate. The 40-meter infinity pool takes centre stage, while the bay itself is home to one of the country’s best year-round swimming beaches. If you do start feeling active, Uga Bay has easy access to world-class dive sites, wonderful snorkelling, windsurfing and sailing. Back on dry land, you can grab a bike and venture out to explore the local area, before retreating to the underground spa to relax your tired muscles with a Balinese-style massage.
PANORAMIC VIEWS
Although it has 500 guestrooms, the Grand Hotel still manages to feel like a quiet oasis in the heart of the city, just 15 minutes from Shilin Night Market. Its four restaurants serve classical Chinese cuisine as well as western and Japanese delicacies, all in elegant dining rooms or grand banquet hall settings. With its plum blossom-shaped caisson ceiling, the impressive lobby is a popular spot for afternoon tea.
