"Amazing - no other words needed! A two night stay in one of the tree houses - had the camp to ourselves , which was perfect. Staff were fabulous and went out of their way to ensure our meals were varied both in location and food . Excellent on both counts . Wild elephant encounter on our way in, had to reroute on the way out due to ele on the road (? Same guy?) . But a great detour . Just chilled in the fish spa and ate lots. "

Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in New Town?
The best area to stay in New Town, North Central Province, Sri Lanka, is generally along the main roads and around the central market area, offering convenience and access to amenities.

This central area is practical for visitors as it's where you'll find most of the hotels, guesthouses, and restaurants. The main roads, like the A9, provide straightforward access to the historical sites of Anuradhapura and other regional attractions. You'll find a range of local shops and eateries here, making it easy to grab essentials or a meal.

For families, staying near the New Town centre is a good choice. It provides easy access to local markets for snacks and everyday items, and transport links to the ancient city are readily available. Hotels in this area often have facilities like swimming pools, which can be a welcome relief after a day of exploring.

Couples looking for a comfortable base will also appreciate the convenience of this area. It offers a good selection of accommodation options, from well-appointed hotels to more intimate guesthouses, many of which can arrange tours to the nearby UNESCO World Heritage sites.
When is the best time to go to New Town?
The best time to visit New Town, North Central Province, Sri Lanka, is during the dry season, which typically runs from May to September.

During these months, you'll experience pleasant weather with less humidity and minimal rainfall, making it ideal for exploring the ancient ruins and outdoor attractions. The daily temperatures are warm, usually around 28-32°C, great for sightseeing without the interruption of heavy showers. This period ensures comfortable conditions for activities like cycling around the archaeological sites or climbing Sigiriya Rock.

For travellers interested in wildlife, visiting during the dry season is particularly beneficial. Animals congregate around the shrinking water sources in national parks such as Minneriya and Kaudulla, making them easier to spot on a safari. This is a great time for couples and families to see elephants and other wildlife in their natural habitat.
