The underground spa at Uga Bay offers spellbinding Indian Ocean views while you enjoy spa treatments featuring Balinese and western massages, body rituals and therapies. There’s plenty to do if you want to, but Uga Bay is also ideal for those who simply want to relax with the sand between their toes or soak up the sun beside the swimming pool. For the adventurous, it’s a few dozen steps from the beach to the reef, a snorkeller’s paradise as well as a great spot to fish for Trevally jack and grouper. Farther out, famous WW2 wrecks attract scuba divers, while fun-lovers can rent jet-skis from the hotel for a hour or more of excitement. Sri Lankan tourist attractions in the vicinity include folksy villages and markets drenched in local colour, traditional Hindu temples and the Dutch fort at Batticaloa. Tourists can also visit ancient Polonnaruwa with its giant Buddha statues and thirteenth-century ruins, reminiscent of Angkor.

Visitors who travel to Sri Lanka never fail to mention the local hospitality. In this department, Uga Bay does its guests proud. The beach bar offers arm’s-reach refreshments under the sun (or the stars), while the finest ingredients (local boats bring in fresh catches every day, the hotel grows its own herbs) are selected by the internationally-trained chefs responsible for the hotel’s world-class cuisine. You can dine at the luxurious restaurant on the beach beside your own bonfire, al fresco in the atmospheric herb garden, or on your own private terrace overlooking the Indian Ocean.
