The East Coast
Uga Jungle Beach
Menu
Designed to blend seamlessly with its surroundings, this wonderful resort has artfully incorporated existing trees and natural plant life into its design, making you feel like you’re staying in a luxurious tree house by the sea!
Sri Lanka’s East Coast is best visited during the UK Summer holidays when the weather is warm and sunny, and we think Uga Jungle Beach is a great add-on to a stay in the Cultural Triangle if you are seeking some beach time before heading home.
