Uga Ulagalla - Anuradhapura

在這樣的地方，有這個酒店已經很不錯了。 儀式感也很足。 驚喜是退房的時候還給了一個相框，就是來的時候拍照的那個照片。 酒店環境非常好，很適合全家來度假

Returning after nearly two years to one of our favourite places built around the mansion of a regional chieftain of the past. Uga Ulagalla lies in the heart of Rajarata. Rajarata meaning "King's country" was one of three historical regions of Sri Lanka. Here lies the remains of many ancient cities including Anuradhapura the capital of Sri Lanka for over a thousand years from 3rd C BCE. Uga Ulagalla is a convenient place to visit the ancient cities as well as peek into the marvels of one of the greatest ancient hydraulic civilisations in the world. This luxury lodge is a veritable arboretum with spacious villas, spaced quite apart, each with an outdoor jacuzzi - an architectural masterpiece blending with nature. Every aspect here pleases the eye. Everything is immaculately kept, and one wonders what skill and ingenuity are needed to maintain a place as vast as this thus. The secret is leadership given by veteran GM Thashinthan Panchanathan ably supported by ever bright and breezy FOM Dilrukshi Priyadarsheni. We were always looked after to feel more than at home. What caught our eye that differentiates Uga Ulagalla from others in its class was the gender and ethnic diversity of its elegantly dressed and enthusiastic staff. The staff at Ulagalla truly represent Sri Lanka, a melting pot of cultures. We only hope that other top end resorts take a cue from this. The food finely crafted by Chef Ruwan was original and came with colourful presentation. The expansive pool set amongst the trees, cycling paths, paddy fields, the ancient tank or man-made lake behind ideal for kayaking, inhouse horse stable for horse riding etc makes this truly a place to relax. And for someone who wants to mix work and relaxation, the online connectivity was excellent. “In ancient days of Rajarata grand, Lies a land of grace, so vast and grand. With fields of gold, and temples fair, A kingdom thriving, beyond compare”
