Uga Jungle Beach
Tucked within a secluded 10-acre reserve, Uga Jungle Beach stretches along 4 kilometres of private beach, tropical mangrove and dense jungle. Situated on the remote east coast of Sri Lanka within a short distance of Trincomalee, this cast-away chic 48 room resort looks and feels like a luxurious tree house.
Located on the quiet village of Kuchameli on the eastern seaboard of Sri Lanka, Uga Jungle Beach blends seamlessly into nature, the perfect mix of lush jungle and calm Indian Ocean retreat. Cloaked in mangroves, the 48 guest rooms range from Lagoon view rooms, hidden within the surrounding flora with a mix of modern and traditional décor; Jungle Cabins, crafted from indigenous materials and designed to remain open to spectacular views of the jungle; and Beach Cabins with contemporary Sri Lankan interiors and private walkways to the seashore. The Jungle Clusters feature three separate cabins with a shared pool, ideal for families or friends travelling together.
The treehouse-style restaurant and bar have Robinson Crusoe feel with the meandering pool to one side and tables spilling onto the beach on the other. Guests are served traditional Sri Lankan recipes and western cuisine with the freshest local produce, be it rice and curry, or mouth-watering seafood platter. Or for an intimate dining experience, why not arrange a beach picnic under the stars against the backdrop of the Indian Ocean.
The long stretch of beach and calm waters are perfect for swimming year round, and diving, snorkelling and whale watching are the main draw. On land you can pamper yourself at the hotel’s spa, or explore the area’s rich history, including the clifftop kovil, British-era fort and Second World War cemetery.
