Attractively located in the centre of Anuradhapura, Golden Ray villa offers a terrace, air conditioning, free WiFi and flat-screen TV. With garden views, this accommodation offers a balcony. There is free private parking and the property features paid airport shuttle service. An absolute haven close to the sacred city sites of Anuradhapura. Peaceful, set back about 75m from the road. Beautifully appointed rooms and a welcoming dining/reception area - exactly as shown in the photos on this site. What the photos do not reveal is the exceptional service and kindness of the owner and all of his staff. Nor do they convey the outstanding quality of the meals served. It is rare to find a welcoming home away from home as good as Golden Ray Villa and I cannot recommend it highly enough.

Also they arranged for us jeep safari in Minerya national park (as per their advice due to elephant's path) and we saw a lot of those incredible animals. Special thanks to Ravi - family member who speaks very good English and advised us for many things.

Situated within 11 km of Pidurangala Rock and 12 km of Sigiriya Rock in Habarana, Hotel Oleena offers accommodation with seating area. This property offers access to a terrace, free private parking and free WiFi. The accommodation provides a 24-hour front desk, full-day security and currency exchange for guests. I’ve stayed at Oleena Homestay before and loved it, so I’m back again. I like the serenity of the place set among trees and plants and bird songs. And the hosts, Jeewa and Masha are wonderful people with their lovely daughter Oleena. The breakfast were sumptuous and they are able to arrange savoury lunch and dinner 😋. Masha is a great cook. 😍 The garden rooms come with your own private balcony. One may have the food at the balcony or at the nice airy dining hut. Jeewa was able to arrange trips around the area. Excellent hospitality. 😊

Among the various facilities are a garden, a shared lounge, as well as a terrace. The hotel has an outdoor swimming pool and garden views, and guests can enjoy a meal at the restaurant or a drink at the bar. It's a special establishment. In my opinion, it represents true luxury: a few perfectly equipped and enormous rooms, and truly personalized service from the entire team. In short, a place worth visiting and enjoying.
