Uga Resorts is proud to announce that Uga Halloowella, its newest luxury retreat in Sri Lanka’s central highlands, has been featured in Condé Nast Traveler’s 2025 Hot List—a prestigious global roundup of the best new hotels in the world.

Perched in the misty hills of Sri Lanka’s tea country, Uga Halloowella offers guests a refined escape that blends colonial charm with contemporary indulgence. Designed by renowned architect Channa Daswatte—protégé of the legendary Geoffrey Bawa—the former planter’s bungalow has been thoughtfully restored to preserve its original pinewood walls and satinwood floors. The property now features six expansive suites with four-poster beds, claw-foot tubs, and panoramic views of the Castlereagh Reservoir.

Guests can unwind with spa treatments in the garden gazebo, lounge by the infinity pool, or trek the scenic Pekoe Trail. By night, the property transforms into an intimate haven, with fireside conversations and authentic Sri Lankan cuisine served in a dining room adorned with bold palm murals.

This global recognition is a testament to Uga Resorts’ unwavering commitment to creating immersive, sustainable, and design-forward experiences.
