Real over perfect
Real photos, honest information and no promises we cannot control.
Our story
A hostel,
but more human.
AnotherWorld is not a polished idea made in an office. It grew from a local home, a love for Sigiriya and a simple wish to bring travellers together.
Different countries. One table. A normal night here.
Hello, I’m Maliya · Local host from Sigiriya
I want people to feel they have someone in Sigiriya.
Maliya is a local host from Sigiriya and the person behind AnotherWorld. He stays close like a friend, helps you understand the area and finds practical solutions when travel plans get messy.
Some days that means organising a sunrise or safari. Some days it means explaining a bus, finding a driver, cooking dinner or helping when travel plans go wrong. We keep learning, changing and building this place as we go.
The goal is simple: arrive as a guest, feel comfortable enough to be yourself, and leave knowing Sigiriya—and a few people here—a little better.
