Uga Bay By Uga Escapes
Uga Bay by Uga Escapes is a luxurious beachfront resort nestled on the serene shores of Pasikudah Bay on Sri Lanka’s unspoilt east coast. Renowned for its crescent-shaped bay and one of the longest shallow coastlines in the world, Pasikudah is a haven for beach lovers and marine enthusiasts. Uga Bay enjoys a prime location on the widest stretch of beach, bordered by the palm-fringed sands of Kalkudah to the south and the famed Trincomalee Harbour to the north—an ideal departure point for whale watching tours between May and September.
This stylish coastal resort offers 46 spacious studios, suites, and villas, all arranged within elegant two-storey structures, each room featuring contemporary design and private balconies. At the heart of the resort lies a palm-lined garden and an inviting infinity pool, which looks out towards the turquoise bay. The main restaurant serves a mix of continental and authentic Sri Lankan cuisine, with a special focus on fresh seafood. Tucked away by the shoreline is the Uga Spa, offering Asian-inspired therapies with sweeping views of the Indian Ocean.
Pasikudah’s calm, shallow waters and vibrant coral reef make it one of the best spots in Sri Lanka for safe swimming, snorkelling, and water sports. Guests at Uga Bay can take part in a range of marine adventures including jet skiing, sailing, and sea fishing—organised through a cooperative run by nearby resorts. For a more memorable marine encounter, dolphin and whale watching excursions can be arranged through Uga Bay’s sister property, Jungle Beach by Uga Escapes, just north of Trincomalee.
