This property is located a short tuk tuk ride from the airport. It makes sense to locate first or last nights close to airport with early or late flights since Colombo is a long way from its international airport. There is no suitable public transport to or from the airport into Colombo other than Uber. This hotel has a respectable bar and restaurant attached which is handy since not much is in the local area. The rooms are pretty basic and are really only suitable for a one night stop. I would use the hotel again if coming in late or leaving early from Sri Lanka.

Great for one night but the room was damp, so I wouldn’t have wanted to stay longer. Perfect if you have an early flight.

As a wellness resort, Jetwings Lagoon offers high-end facilities for mid-range prices. We loved the 100m pool, the healthy food menus, and the on-site Ayurvedic Clinic. The massages were excellent, and the Ayurvedic doctors provided a unique approach to addressing some long-standing health issues—the perfect place to recover from jet lag.

Frequently asked questions

How much does an Anuradhapura holiday package cost?
You'll find cheap prices from AU$1,070 on Expedia for your Anuradhapura getaway. However, factors like the season, choice of hotel and length of stay will determine how much your holiday to Anuradhapura costs.
What are the cheapest months to go to Anuradhapura?
If you'd like to score a cheap Anuradhapura holiday package, consider visiting in May, October and November. You'll usually find better prices on hotels and flights during these quieter months — perfect for travellers wishing to save money.
How many days is enough for Anuradhapura?
Anuradhapura holidays come in all shapes and sizes, but to really sink your teeth into this place, we'd suggest 2 days is a good ballpark. This will mean you can fit in top attractions like Mahasena's Palace and Abhayagiri Dagoba and seek out some underrated spots. Don't forget to visit neighbourhoods such as New Town and Wijayapura either. If you're smart with your time, you may even be able to take a day trip from Anuradhapura too.

Whether you're looking to explore key attractions like Anuradhapura Archaeological Museum and Isurumuniya Vihara on your Anuradhapura holiday, or coming for its great walking trails, history and culture, there's something for everyone here. With so much to experience, you'll quickly learn why so many visitors think Anuradhapura is a good holiday destination.
How to find the best Anuradhapura package deals?
