The property is beautiful and in an oasis. Beautiful garden and swimming pool. The Staff is very friendly, accommodating and, above all, eager to please. I highly recommend this hotel.

An absolute haven in the middle of nowhere - we arrived at midnight, & were blown away by the sweetheart team of 4, including the Manager, who were waiting to greet us with the traditional betel leaves, fresh lime juice, & coconut pancake pastries. I was invited to light a welcome flame & was made to feel so welcome.
We knew it was a little isolated, but had no idea quite how out in the woods it really was. It had rained heavily just before we arrived, & it was dark, so the journey seemed to go on & on, & it was a rough unsealed road, so we were a tiny bit apprehensive about where we were being taken. BUT! When you see the pristine gorgeous white property past the gates, & the charming smiles, you are instantly swept off your feet into your home for the night 🏡

When I first saw Uga Riva Negombo highlighted in the New York Times 52 Places to Go, I was so excited to see a luxury boutique hotel in Kochchikade (a suburb of Negombo)!
My Sri Lankan husband grew up in Kochchikade. While we typically stay with family during our annual spring break trips to Sri Lanka, this year, we had to make last-minute changes to our accommodations. The Uga Riva Negombo resort and staff hit the "ball out of the park" (reference for American travelers) translation: we had a delightful and exceptional 3 night stay!
The January 2024, New York Times review is spot on: Sustainability is a focus for businesses, especially the just-opened Uga Riva, a luxe hotel in a refurbished manor house that once welcomed Mohandas K. Gandhi and diplomats from around Asia.
And for those family travelers with small children who believe that Negombo automatically means busy beach resorts, please also consider the tranquil and family-friendly luxe Uga Riva. My 6 year old daughter LOVED our stay. She also hates sand between her toes, so beach stay was a no-go.
From the infinity pool surrounded by lush trees and chirping birds (try getting that on The Beach Strip in Negombo) to the delicious adult and kid-friendly a la carte meals that you have the option of having delivered to your room vs. The Dreaded All You Can Eat Hotel Buffet, which requires non-pajamas as appropriate attire (parents, you know what I mean). The thoughtfully curated menu included delicious health & wellness options along with continental and Sri Lankan favorites.
The Deluxe room (lowest tier of the rooms available but exceeded my expectations) was spacious, immaculately clean and very functional with the comfortable sitting area doubling as a dining area. The in-room espresso machine was next level. We loved the A/C, but some nights, we turned on the 3 beautiful overhead fans, and the room stayed cool and comfortable.
Everything exceeded our expectations. I wish we could have stayed longer.

location is perfect, very close to the airport. The staffs were amazing! special shout out to Lahiru for taking such great care of us. And also Upul, Yasith, Pradeep and Kumara. You guys made sure everything was smooth for us. And on the last day, you even packed us breakfast so we could eat at the airport, so thoughtful!

we booked one room and one premium suite
for 2 nights.
rooms confortable but noisy.
Staff is polite
Food is good
This hotel company does not respect the commercial
agreement with booking and will invoice you
in LKR instead of US Dollars with a non official
exchange rate so your bill will be higher as behind
this they charge you booking commission. So beware
and check your bill before check out !
it is a shame they should be happy having guest
instead of acting this way. Therefore despite we liked
the villa, the premises , the food , we are not
recommended this hotel ! we have tried a lot in
Sri Lanka during our holidays and this is the first
time we face this issue.
