Jungle Beach Resort
Castaway camp with a luxe edge





One of a raft of Uga Escapes’ beach hotels serving up a slice of paradise in Sri Lanka, this east-coast Trincomalee outpost is set amid a 4ha mangrove, the Periyakarachchi lagoon to one side and the Indian Ocean to the other.

Open-plan everything blends Crusoe-esque adventurism with the facility of a luxe beach hotel.
