Uga Riva - Negombo

Experience Luxury Negombo Hotel - Uga Riva

Start your Sri Lankan story at Riva, our heritage-style manor hotel in Negombo’s Kochichikade, a 30-minute drive from Colombo’s International Airport. This treasured home has stood for 180 years yet has been carefully extended over the years by celebrated Sri Lankan artists. Pillared verandas, delicate fretwork, graceful arches and a traditional courtyard all call to mind a former era whilst its contemporary comforts and glorious pool infuse modern sophistication. Whether you’re a history enthusiast or seeking a tranquil escape, our Negombo hotel is the perfect starting point for your exploration.

Formerly home to six generations of a prominent Colombo Chetty family, Riva has welcomed many prominent guests over the years including Mahatma Gandhi who visited in 1927 and planted a tree in the garden. This luxurious and tranquil seven-bedroom boutique hotel near Colombo Airport is convenient not only as a first or last night’s stay in Sri Lanka, but as an indulgent base to explore our fascinating island.

Discreet, personalised service is a benchmark of the Uga brand, and the team at Riva welcome guests like long lost friends. During the day, guests are often found beside the pool, lounging around the house or secreted in their room or suite, acclimatising before or after a long-haul flight. Exceptional dining is also a keystone of a stay at Riva, and our talented chefs prepare nutritious and flavourful dishes to be enjoyed within the house or serene tropical garden.
