SET IN A 150-YEAR-OLD MANSION
The sun jinks into your chalet through the slatted blinds. You can hear the wind murmuring in the treetops that surround your Sri Lankan bungalow.
You can also smell the fresh coffee that’s about to be served by your butler. It’s a hard life at Ulagalla Resort, but someone has to get up and live it!
And live it you will. You can start with a refreshing plunge in your private pool, before heading over to the stables for an early morning ride.
Or, if you prefer bicycles to horses, you could pedal slowly through acres of rich gardens, taking in the sweeping views of paddy fields, tranquil reservoirs and the village Ulagalla. You’re in the perfect place to relax – or discover the cultural triangle of Sri Lanka.

Planning my first solo trip felt like a big step, but The Ultimate Travel Company made it easy from the outset. I reached out over a year in advance, and Rob Kent quickly put together a thoughtful itinerary based on exactly what I was looking for, securing great flights and always being available to talk things through. Everything ran smoothly and I felt looked after every step of the way. The accommodation in Japan, Fiji and Tahiti was excellent and the experiences unforgettable.
