Set in the heart of Anuradhapura Old City, this utterly charming property feels, as the name insinuates, like a sanctuary to retreat to amongst its lush gardens. Formerly a British governor’s residence, it has been lovingly restored to reflect its old charm.
A small property, there are 22 rooms set on the 14 acres of land. They are stylish, pleasant and have verandahs that provide a lovely spot to sit out overlooking the gardens where you may even spot a peacock or monkey!
The location is in a prime position for exploring the main sights in the area though there aren’t many great food options in the area, so you will most likely eat at the hotel. It is known for serving some of the best food in town.
If you’re looking to stay in Anuradhapura, you can’t go past the Sanctuary for its great location and beautiful setting.
