The closest Wotif-listed hotel is the Habarana Village by Cinnamon, Sri Lanka, located 35 kilometres from the centre of Anuradhapura. Also, check out the Cinnamon Lodge in Sri Lanka.

Often, Wotif travellers like to stay where it's at, so why not book a hotel that is near the Ruwanwelisaya or the Thuparamaya?

The nearby cities of Pahala Maragahawewa and Habarana are worth exploring. Pahala Maragahawewa is 35 kilometres to the west of Anuradhapura, while Habarana is 45 kilometres to the southeast.
