The boutique Sri Lankan hotel group renowned for its world-class hospitality, Uga Ghiri, is delighted to announce the upcoming opening of its eighth property, Uga Ghiri, in Sri Lanka’s central highlands region in June 2026.
Nestled within the grounds of Ella’s historic Sutherland Estate, Uga Ghiri will consist of 15 standalone villas with a luxurious yet contemporary design alongside a meticulously restored colonial-era manor – which will serve as the property’s main house and culinary destination – an infinity pool and a state-of-the art spa. A private haven surrounded by sweeping panoramas of Ella’s emerald tea plantations, rolling hills and world-famous Nine Arch Bridge, the all-inclusive property promises world-class dining, healing wellness treatments and endless activities both on property and in the surrounding central highlands.
Commenting on the new opening, Uga Owner and Managing Director Priyanjith Weerasooria, said: “We are delighted to announce the upcoming launch of Uga Ghiri, the newest property in our beautiful collection of boutique Sri Lankan retreats. An intimate, all-inclusive retreat of just 15 private villas in the heart of the extraordinarily beautiful central highlands region, the property invites guests to slow down, reconnect with nature and immerse themselves in hill country life. From restorative wellness experiences and elevated dining to meaningful encounters with the surrounding landscape and communities, Uga Ghiri embodies our commitment to thoughtful luxury and to creating deeply authentic experiences rooted in Sri Lanka’s most remarkable destinations.”
