Our Story

A Home Within
the Ancient City

Olivia HomeStay is a warm, family-run guest house tucked within the Anuradhapura Sacred City — one of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in the world and a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Guests often describe it as "calm and peaceful," with lush gardens, spotless rooms, and a host whose hospitality is second to none. We are just minutes from Jaya Sri Maha Bodhi, Ruwanwelisaya, and the ancient dagobas that have defined this land for over 2,000 years.

Whether you arrive on pilgrimage or to explore the island's rich history, Olivia HomeStay offers a genuine, unhurried retreat at a very fair price.
