Uga Halloowella

High in Sri Lanka's central tea highlands overlooking the tranquil expanse of Castlereagh Reservoir and pine-clad mountain peaks, Uga Halloowella is an impeccably restored colonial plantation bungalow. For over a century, this historic residence has witnessed the swirling highland mists, now reimagined by Uga Escapes as an exclusive six-suite boutique retreat.

Old-World Elegance & Six Grand Suites

Halloowella preserves its colonial heritage through polished parquet floors, soaring wood-beamed ceilings, wood-burning fireplaces, and curated antique artifacts. The six individually designed suites feature king-sized four-poster beds, freestanding tubs, and floor-to-ceiling windows offering mesmerizing vistas of the lake and morning mists rolling over emerald hills.

Infinity Pool Overlooking Castlereagh Reservoir

Outside, an infinity-edge swimming pool appears to merge directly with the calm waters of Castlereagh Reservoir hundreds of meters below. Guests can relax on sun loungers enveloped by aromatic eucalyptus breezes, enjoy traditional English high tea on the manicured lawn, or sip single-estate vintage teas while listening to the birds in the surrounding pines.

Bespoke Dining & High-Altitude Treks

Resident private chefs prepare customized culinary feasts ranging from classic British roasts and afternoon pastries to authentic Sri Lankan clay-pot curries. Halloowella is ideally located for boat tours on Castlereagh Reservoir, walking portions of the Pekoe Trail, touring functioning tea factories, or embarking on an adventurous climb up Adam's Peak.
