Grand Udawalawe Safari Resort

The calming ambience of this Sri Lanka hotel resounds around all its spaces, aided by warm lighting and a neutral color palette. Rooms and communal spaces are adorned in local hardwoods and hand-crafted furniture, whilst all seating and bedding is exceptionally comfortable. A balance of modernity and tradition is found in the hotel’s minimalist design, which is accented by subtle pieces of décor and artwork.

Sink into bliss during a quiet evening in your luxury villa, where you are treated with air-conditioning, ceiling fans, a TV, and a large, private balcony. Enjoy a fresh coffee accompanied by birdsongs.

The facilities at the Grand Udawalawe Safari Resort provide all you need to wind down in-between safari trips in the nearby park. Enjoy a cocktail or chilled beer in the resort’s gorgeous bar area, on the spacious veranda beside sheaths of bamboo. Absorb the Sri Lankan sun and take a splash in the outdoor pool, which is open until late, swimming up-to the pool bar for a fresh juice. For those slightly cooler evenings, the resort homes an abundance of cozy indoor spaces, where you can play a family game of pool or break a sweat in the fitness center.

Enjoy three meals a day in the Banquet Hall, where a plentiful buffet offers Sri Lankan and Western flavors. Fresh fruits and vegetables and a rotational menu of freshly made dishes are perfect during an energetic day. During Sri Lanka’s pleasant, clear-skied evenings, head to the open-air deck in the Gala Bar, where a thorough list of fine wines and spirits are offered alongside light bites.
