Uga Prava

Uga Prava

Tangalle
, Sri Lanka

Perched along the stunning shores of Tangalle, the sublime Uga Prava embodies the essence of modern minimalist design while remaining deeply connected to the tropical beauty of its surroundings. With only seven elegantly appointed suites and an infinity pool that appears to flow into the Indian Ocean, this seaside sanctuary invites guests to unwind in a soothing environment that prioritizes simplicity and rest.

The name “Prava” derived from the Sanskrit word “pravala” defined as coral, serves as a metaphor for the property’s identity and ethos; a holistic experience that blends sophistication with a deep respect for nature. At Uga Prava guests are called to slow their pace, to pause amidst the palm trees and ocean breeze, and reconnect with their innermost selves, as the south coast provides the perfect backdrop for reflection and renewal.
