Overview

Situated right by Passekudah beach is Uga Bay, a charming luxury boutique hotel offering peace, tranquility, and its very own private sand beach. Owned by Uga Escapes, the hotel has 46 rooms and suites, all of which boast stunning Mediterranean-style architecture and wonderful views of the Passekudah Bay area.

All accommodation at Uga Bay is specially designed so that guests have plenty of private space. Each one of the 22 Beach Studios is situated on the ground floor and offers direct beach access, while the 22 Ocean Studios are all on the first floor with better views of the ocean. The two-bedroom Bay Suite comes with its own open-air plunge pool, as does the Beach Villa, which is spread across two stories and has private access to the beach. Both of the Beach Villa’s two bedrooms are en-suite.

Uga Bay’s restaurant offers a range of Sri Lankan specialties, as well as some international dishes. All seafood served here is sourced by local fishermen from the very waters that guests can see from their rooms. The hotel doesn’t impose any set meal times so that guests can eat when they feel like it. Private dining is also available, with guests able to enjoy dining in poolside cabanas, poolside BBQs or even beachside BBQs for their exclusive dining experience. Guests can also dine in the comfort of their own room.

Passekudah Bay is naturally protected, so its water are always calm. This makes it a great destination for water sports enthusiasts, especially since there are a number of water-based activities offered in the bay seasonally. These include windsurfing, jet skiing, scuba diving, kayaking and snorkelling, to name just a few. Many guests enjoy venturing out into the bay and diving down below to see the WW2 wrecks. At the hotel itself, guests can make use of the infinity pool, keep up with their fitness in the gym or simply relax in the underground spa complete with ocean views.

Children are very welcome at Uga Bay. The hotel has a babysitting service available and there’s an on-site playground for children to enjoy. Because of its beachside location, parents are advised to keep an eye on their younger ones at all times, especially when on the beach itself.

  • We had such a good holiday. You did a fantastic job!

    The house in Marrakesh was ridiculous. We effectively had it to ourselves. The accommodation was borderline palatial.

    I actually think that the time we had in Marrakesh was sufficient. We could potentially have done a day by a pool but I think we’d done enough souk-ing by the end of Day Two.

    The hotel in the mountains was a shade more rustic than I was expecting, but all great fun. Stunning views. The guide / mule / cook team were excellent and our guide (Hassan) tailored the treks to our capabilities well. He was superb, and really made an effort with the kids. The second and third day of trekking were particularly good. Such an adventure for the kids.

    All the logistics worked seamlessly. Every aspect went like clockwork. Top marks. The advice on tipping was also much appreciated (I hate thinking that I’m getting mugged off or am potentially not giving enough…).

    From my seven-year-old son:

    I thought it was GREAT. The food was amazing and the culture was very interesting. My favourite bit was scrambling up rocks in the Atlas Mountains.

    In retrospect, I’d probably do the trip in reverse. Flopping on the roof terrace after the rigours of the mountains would have been even more satisfying.

  • We just wanted to thank you for an absolutely amazing holiday. Everything went exactly to plan and we were blown away with the quality of the guides, transport and accommodation. The itinerary was perfect for our family with a great mix of guided and free days and the different destinations complemented each other well. We will definitely be using Tourdust again for our next trip! Particular highlights were the Ha Long Bay cruise, Hanoi, and the morning cycle tour in Siam Reap
