It has an area of about 270 hectares, the majority of which is public land. It was named after Ulva Island in the Inner Hebrides of Scotland, and was formerly called Coopers Island.

The only town on Stewart Island, Oban is located on the north coast of the inlet, close to its mouth. In earlier times, the inlet was used as a base for whaling.
