Location

Ulagalla by Uga Escapes is located in the quiet village of Tirappane, 40 km north of Dambulla on the Dambulla – Anuradahpura A9 route. A UNESCO World Heritage Site, Anuradhapura is a scenic 20 km drive from the estate and renown cultural triangle sites. NIKAWEVA (1800 sq ft) Nikaweva offers two double bedrooms and a panoramic view of the paddy fields from its infinity pool, fusing raw beauty with modern comforts. The outdoor deck is larger than that of the Villas, and the tranquil living area is complemented by the hushed surroundings. The Nikawewa experience is completed with a spacious bathroom featuring a rain shower in the master suite and an expansive wardrove for the second bedroom, making it perfect for a family getaway. Approximately 160 km from the Bandaranaike International airport and 176 km from Colombo, Ulagalla by Uga Escapes is accessible via helicopter or a scenic journey by road.
