Ulagalla incorporates an eco-friendly design blended with modern comforts. Spread across 58 acres of working paddy fields, organic vegetable plots and ornamental gardens that host 25 chalets, a sensitively-restored ancient Wallauwa (manor house), a 30m swimming pool, a gym and a sensual sunken spa.
Public areas of the resort – a first-floor restaurant, fully-equipped bar and reception area – are all located in the main house, a 150-year-old fully-restored mansion once home to the village chieftain. Linking all areas of the resort is an eco-friendly transport system through on-call golf buggies and pedal bicycles, two of which are provided for guests in each chalet. With an emphasis on sustainability, Ulagalla operates on a solar energy farm that powers half of the energy requirements and their chalets are built using recyclable material.
The activities offered at Ulagalla – archery, horse riding, kayaking and nature walks – have also been chosen for their minimal impact on the environment.

Cuisine
Every effort is made to ensure that your dining experience is unparalleled, whether you choose to eat in the old Wallauwa’s Liyawela Restaurant, cooled by custom-designed electronic punkah fans, in the privacy of your own chalet, or in one of many signature dining spots. At Ulagalla, there are no set meal times or fixed locations for dining. Choose from an a la carte or a multi-course set menu with European, Mediterranean and Asian. BBQs can be arranged with sufficient notice. Special celebrations – including wedding banquets – can be accommodated with ease. The resort boasts an underground, glass roofed cellar for storing the resort’s fine wine collection in temperature-controlled splendour. Organic fruit and vegetables, combined with rice from the paddy fields, are used in the resort’s kitchen whilst all waste is also recycled.
