Naturalside
Naturalside Hotel is an enchanting luxury property situated in the heart of Anuradhapura — a UNESCO World Heritage Site and one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in the world. Located on the historic Rowing Club Road, our hotel sits on over 2 acres of lush tropical grounds, within walking distance of the city's most sacred Buddhist landmarks.
Because of the hotel's proximity to historic sites — the Ruwanwelisaya Stupa, the Sri Maha Bodhi, and Jetavanarama — Naturalside is the ideal launching pad to explore the great kingdom which lasted over 1,400 years.

The Beginning
Originally established as a scenic lakeside retreat on the banks of the ancient Tissa Weva, Naturalside began as a tranquil sanctuary offering travellers a comfortable base from which to explore the remarkable ruins of Anuradhapura.
Expansion & Refinement
Through careful restoration and sensitive expansion — always honouring the surrounding heritage landscape — Naturalside grew into the full-service luxury property it is today, with fine rooms, dining, wellness, and event facilities.
Today
Naturalside is now regarded as the premier luxury hotel in the Cultural Triangle of Sri Lanka — with elegantly appointed rooms, three dining venues, a spa center, swimming pool, and a dedicated concierge team offering a truly royal experience.
Steps from Anuradhapura's most sacred UNESCO World Heritage monuments — the Sri Maha Bodhi, Ruwanwelisaya, and ancient palace ruins.
Our friendly, professional team is dedicated to making every guest feel at home — from arrival to departure and every moment in between.
From our cuisine to our architecture, everything at Naturalside celebrates the rich cultural identity of Sri Lanka and its ancient capital.
