Tucked away on a quiet residential street close to the centre of Anuradhapura, Aryana Boutique Hotel provides guests with a peaceful stay just moments from an ancient UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Aryana is designed to be a home-away-from-home, and all aspects of the accommodation invite relaxation. The open-air courtyard has a landscaped garden, central pool and a scattering of dining tables in sunshine or shade. There’s also an indoor lounge, TV and tea and coffee in each room, and Wi-Fi throughout the property.

The eight bedrooms are simple but pleasantly decorated in a sophisticated white and grey colour palette complimented by rich red wood. Each is fitted with the best-quality furnishings including a stylish and spacious bed and Grohe bathroom fixtures.

What makes Aryana particularly special is the staff who go out of their way to provide an exceptional service to guests. Their concierge service can assist with spontaneous travel plans and room service is available to those who’d rather enjoy the fantastic food in the privacy of their room.

The menu at Aryana includes a range of contemporary dishes, prepared by a chef with 20 years’ experience using locally-sourced fresh ingredients. Groups travelling together can organise a poolside barbecue, a delicious way to kick off a trip or celebrate a special event.
