Uga Prāva
Sri LankaLocated in Tangalle, along the sleepy Southern coastline of Sri Lanka, Uga Prāva is one of the island's latest retreats, perfect for those seeking a luxury holiday to Sri Lanka. With just seven suites and an infinity pool that opens out to the Indian Ocean, the property offers a peaceful escape along Sri Lanka's south coast. Its name, derived from the Sanskrit word for coral, speaks to the hotel’s quiet alignment with its natural surroundings. Framed by 2.5 acres of gardens and a private beach, Uga Prāva is an ideal base for exploring the island.

Coral Suites are thoughtfully tailored for families, offering a king-sized bed, two singles, two bathrooms, and a spacious living area.

This intimate boutique hotel feels wonderfully homely, offering a space where guests can truly disconnect from the demands of everyday life. Spend your days learning to surf, heading out on a sunrise fishing trip, or simply drifting between the pool and a shaded lounger, book in hand. Set in the quiet town of Tangalle, a charming reminder of Sri Lanka’s more untouched coastline and located in the drier Hambantota region, it promises sunshine long after the rains have reached elsewhere.
