Perched 1,444 metres above sea level in the cool hills of Hatton, Uga Halloowella is a lovingly restored colonial bungalow dating back to 1880, once the estate home of Major Elton Lane, a WWI Royal Air Force pilot. Restored by Uga alongside acclaimed Sri Lankan architect Channa Daswatte, this Uga Halloowella Sri Lanka property overlooks the Castlereagh Reservoir from the heart of a working tea estate, and stands among the most intimate of Sri Lanka’s luxury boutique hotels in Sri Lanka.
With just six suites across three categories — the spacious Lane Suites with wood-burning fireplaces and claw-foot bathtubs, the airy Pekoe Suites named for the famous Pekoe Trail, and the cosy, garden-facing Planter’s Suites — this Uga Halloowella bungalow offers a genuinely private, tailored experience rather than a conventional hotel stay. Four-poster beds, freestanding bathtubs, and period furnishings run throughout, all set within an all-inclusive experience.
Days at this Uga Halloowella retreat can be spent by the 17-metre infinity pool, at the garden spa with in-room treatment options, or wandering the surrounding tea plantations, including the nearby Pedro Tea Estate. Dining ranges from a secret sundowner experience to degustation and wine-pairing dinners, Sri Lankan cooking masterclasses, and garden barbeques — with Adam’s Peak within reach for those wanting a hill country pilgrimage. It’s a peaceful, characterful addition to any luxury travel in Sri Lanka itinerary through the highlands. Silk Way Ceylon Tours can build this into a complete hill country route, drawing on our Sri Lanka tour packages to pair Uga Halloowella with the rest of the island.
Suite rates vary by category and season, so rather than a fixed price, our team puts together a personalized quote based on your travel dates.
