Urban Retreat
Ulagalla Resort in Sri Lanka, lies in the heart of the ancient cultural triangle, near Anuradhapura. Past the colossal wooden gates is an ancestral mansion ("walauwwa" in Sinhalese) that belonged to a family from the Kandian aristocracy. As you enter Ulagalla, you cannot escape the feeling that the place is steep in tradition and where the guests begins with the lighting of a lamp and ringing a bell, which indicates someone special has arrived.
