This high-end holiday getaway is one of the most sought-after hotels in Sri Lanka. Fronting scrub jungle on a serene section of coastline just above Trincomalee on the north-east coast, Jungle Beach is a perfect beach destination for anyone travelling between April and October.

Part of the highly praised Uga collection, Jungle Beach boasts excellence in all areas from location and design to food and service. The resort has a big swimming pool, spa specializing in Balinese messages, gym, and restaurant serving traditional and international cuisine. Fresh seafood is a highlight. Private dining experiences can be arranged on request, on the beach or in the gardens.

The 48 cabins at Jungle Beach are set by the lagoon, amidst the jungle, or on the sand. The lush gardens offer much privacy for guests without obstructing the great views. Each spacious room is cooled by polished cement floors and vaulted ceilings while the ensuite bathrooms have both an indoor and outdoor rain shower.
