Ulagalla Resort, Anuradhapura

Tucked away in the ancient city of Anuradhapura, the northernmost town in the cultural triangle, Ulagalla Resort is hidden amongst 58 acres of lush paddy fields, forests and the Ulagalla reservoir. The resort is built around a historic mansion that has been superbly restored by combining old-world charm with modern conveniences. The 25 stylishly laid out, luxurious chalets have been thoughtfully designed to make the most of the natural setting. Offering panoramic views of the lush paddy fields and the two reservoirs that border the resort, each of the chalets has separate living and sleeping areas. The chalets are elegantly furnished and feature a private plunge pool and a small courtyard. At Ulagalla guests can choose to have Sri Lankan or international cuisine either at the fine dining restaurant or in the privacy of their chalet. Other facilities include a pool, coffee lounge, fitness centre and souvenir shop. The in-house spa offers rejuvenating massages and treatments.
