“Overall, I highly recommend this place for an unforgettable nature getaway.”
Our stay was truly magical. The place itself is beautiful, and the staff were warm and welcoming throughout our visit. The safari experience was exceptional! Special thanks to our guide, Nuwan, who explained everything so well and helped us spot a leopard, which was the absolute highlight of our trip.In the evenings, we even had some delightful visitors around the room, including deers, wild boars, and peacocks.

“Not worth it one bit.”
The property is uniquely placed in the Yala national park closest to the national reserve. The rooms were tidy and well placed though fairly dated. The game drive leader Dush is amazing and 11/10 for his contribution to our stay. We saw a bear and leopard and you could tell he was very skilled and passionate about his job. Though I have a feeling he is not paid enough for the position.

Uga Chena is an incredible place with a breathtaking view of the ocean. The service was flawless — every detail taken care of with care and professionalism.
