Situated in Habarana in the heart of the Cultural Triangle,
Taru Maia provides guests with an intimate experience and a comfy, convenient
location for exploring the area's Unesco sites and natural beauty.
The historical sites of Sigiriya and Pidurangala are within
a 30-minute drive of the hotel, and Anuradhapura is about an hour away.
However, unlike other resorts in the area, Taru Maia is not located at the end
of a bumpy dirt road but close to the main street, making it easier to explore
the sites and wander out to a local restaurant for dinner.
The resort feels private and peaceful, with only ten rooms and 9 acres of land. The eight Superior rooms near the front of the property are spacious and modern with some Sri Lankan twists and have large balconies or private terraces, depending on whether it is on the ground or the first floor. The two Chalet rooms are identical in style but are set further back and in separate buildings, so they are a little more private. Also within the grounds are a charming open-air restaurant serving Western and local food, a pool overlooking rice paddies, and a yoga hut at the back of the gardens.
As with all of the Taru properties, Maia provides a level of
quality and comfort that makes returning back to the hotel to relax and have
dinner as enjoyable as discovering the nearby sites.
Deluxe - This is our first really 'upmarket' category. It might be a beautiful tiny hotel with very limited facilities or a 5* resort hotel with all the trimmings; but any hotel in this category will be a well-run establishment with very comfortable rooms, a strong service ethos and excellent food.
