The Sanctuary, Tissawewa, Anuradhapura
This historic colonial hotel built originally around 1865 was a former Governors House. The hotel was formerly known as Tissa Wewa Resthouse.

The rooms on the first floor are more private with a beautiful verandah overlooking the fabulous gardens which extend to 14 acres. Please note the hotel does not have a liquor license as it is within the bounds of the ancient city of Anuradhapura.

Forest Rock Garden Resort, Anuradhapura
This beautiful new boutique hotel is located about 20mins equidistant from Anuradhapura in the east and Wilpattu National Park to the west, in a 50 acre site with wilderness all around. The accommodation really does have a feel of the ancient of Anuradhapura, using similar architecture styles in the ornate pillars, statues, ponds and waterways. The hotel is actually built 20ft off the ground, with meandering walkways between to stop any impact on the jungle below, and so the wildlife can continue to use the jungle below unhindered. The hotel only serves vegetarian food.
