It’s located close to the main road about 100 meters inwards and therefore nestled away from the busy and noisy street. The villa is surrounded by a huge garden. There are two rooms downstairs and three upstairs. The beds weee quite comfortable and bathrooms were clean and modern. The host was exceptional in looking after our needs and prepared home cooked meals which all of us thoroughly enjoyed.

It was a wonderful opportunity to see a giant squirrel close up. We took some fantastic photos. The room was clean, comfortable and well appointed. It was close to the sacred city. I learned to cook seven delicious Sri Lankan dishes during the cooking class. Highly recommended. .

As two young women we felt very comfortable with this stay. Everybody was of great help, we were able to secure good deals through their recommendations with local drivers/tours, and the best of all was the food. All cooked fresh and best we had in the country so far. The stay gas a beautiful garden by a lake, rooms are basic but clean and all you need. Would recommend this stay to anyone.

    It is one of the best locations, slightly hot and humid, but if you love history and sightseeing, you cannot miss this location, further you can travel to multiple historic locations from here, we travelled to Mihinthale Temple and Mahiyangana, the drive was scenic, but Mihinthale will take your breath.

    Anuradhapura, one of the world's oldest continuously...

    Anuradhapura, one of the world's oldest continuously inhabited cities, is a treasure trove of ancient history that stretches back to the 4th century BCE. Established by King Pandukabhaya, it served as the majestic capital of Sri Lanka for over a millennium, playing a pivotal role in the island's Buddhist heritage and cultural evolution. The arrival of Buddhism in Sri Lanka, introduced by Mahinda Thera in the 3rd century BCE, marked a transformative era for Anuradhapura. This led to the creation of awe-inspiring stupas, monastic complexes, and elaborate water reservoirs that showcase the ingenuity of the time. Central to this transformation is the revered Sri Maha Bodhi tree, a sapling believed to have been taken from the very tree under which the Buddha attained enlightenment, which continues to be a powerful pilgrimage site. Anuradhapura flourished as a vibrant hub of trade, culture, and religion. Its stunning architecture, exemplified by monumental structures like the Ruwanwelisaya and the Jetavanaramaya, reflects the extraordinary vision and craftsmanship of its builders—each stone telling a story of devotion, power, and artistry. Despite facing invasions and natural calamities that eventually led to its decline in the 10th century CE, Anuradhapura's legacy endured. The capital shifted to Polonnaruwa, but Anuradhapura remained a beacon of historical significance, earning its status as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Today, it captivates scholars and travelers alike, offering a glimpse into Sri Lanka's rich cultural lineage and inviting exploration of its ancient ruins, sacred sites, and the profound stories embedded within them. Anuradhapura is not just a city; it’s a living testament to the resilience and depth of a civilization that continues to inspire.

    The hotel is clean and tidy, a few km tuktuk ride away from the centre of Anuradhapura, Our room was large and comfortable with good air conditioning and a balcony area. The gardens are well kept, We only stayed one night but had a great stay, coffee was served on arrival and breakfast in the morning was nice. Our host was very knowledgeable about the local area and history of Sri Lanka and arranged our onward travel for us at a very reasonable price.

    Kubura is a very well run small scale (8 rooms) resort, near the edge of Anuradhapura. The open restaurant serves excellent Sri Lankan food, plus Thai dishes, which are made to order (so not super quick to appear). The pool is very pleasant, with a waterwall and some shading, the rooms large and with views of rice paddies, the beds comfortable and the AC efficient and quiet. Staff are friendly. Recommended.
