The ideal spot for some restorative downtime close to the airport to bookend your Sri Lankan adventure.
Uga Riva is a splendid historic manor house in a lovely, secluded location. Formerly a family home, the ornate white façade, topped with a terracotta roof and timber shutters, has been carefully preserved over its 180-year history, updated, of course, with all the amenities expected by modern travellers. You’ll go here for a night or two of tranquillity, to recharge for whatever your itinerary has lined up next, whether your adventure is just beginning, or you’re treating yourself to a couple of nights of downtime before the end of a holiday.
Why we love Uga Riva
-
It’s just 30 minutes from the international airport, making it an ideal stopover before or after a long flight
-
There’s a real warmth to the hospitality here, and the service is personable and considerate
-
Dining is easy going, with an informal, all-day-dining approach. Simple and delicious dishes range from fresh salads to local stir fries and Negombo curries
-
There’s a small pool that beckons for quiet days with a good book beneath a parasol
Rooms
The rooms have a mix of classic and contemporary finishes, with crisp white linens against carved dark wood furniture, giving them a chocolate-and-cream appeal. There are three room types, with size being the main differentiator. For something a touch more fancy, Superior Rooms and Premier Suites have four-poster beds.
Facilities
Dining is a relaxed affair. Decide whether you’d prefer to eat in the house or in the tropical gardens – things are very flexible here. On the menu, there’s a good selection of light bites and bigger dishes like curries and local specialities.
