From there you’ll head to Anuradhapura for two nights, checking into Uga Ulagalla, in lush grounds surrounding a 150-year-old mansion. Must-dos here are exploring Anuradhapura's ancient, ruined city and the Mihintale Temple, considered the cradle of Buddhism in Sri Lanka.

The following two nights are in Trincomalee, where Uga Jungle Beach has the feel of a luxurious treehouse, incorporating its surroundings into its design and experiences. Part of a ten-acre reserve and stretching out along a secluded 4-kilometre beach, it’s close to Trincomalee city and offers a blend of adventure and sightseeing in a unique setting. Things to see here include Trinco town, the Konesvaram Temple Lovers Leap, the hot springs, and the beaches of Kuchchaveli.

Your last few days are spent in the magnificent Yala National Park, staying in Uga Chena Huts, featuring spectacular vernacular architecture and contemporary design by a secluded cove, tucked away in the park’s lush jungles. Here, you can spot leopards, elephants, and plenty more besides on Jeep safaris in Yala's wildlife sanctuary.

And to round it all off in style, you’ll spend a night at Uga Riva Negombo, a meticulously restored 180-year-old traditional manor house handy for Colombo International Airport, offering seven bedrooms on a beautiful five-acre coconut estate.
