Uga Bay Hotel, Passekudah Bay

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 vacations, Uga Bay is the perfect candidate. The 40-meter infinity pool takes center 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 snorkeling, windsurfing and sailing. Back on dry land, you can grab a bike and venture out to explore the local area, before retreating to the subway spa to relax your tired muscles with a Balinese-style massage. 

Arranged in an arching crescent, all rooms enjoy a panoramic view of the Indian Ocean. Opt for a Beach Studio if you want to be able to walk straight out onto the soft sands, or the two-bedroom Bay Suite for the luxury of your own pool. Delicious Sri Lankan cuisine can be enjoyed in the restaurant, in the leafy gardens or in the privacy of your own terrace.

  • What was particularly impressive was the way in which Catherine listened to what we like to do and combined all of this in a destination we would not have considered - a truly terrific effort.
