Polonnaruwa

EKHO Lake House

EKHO Lake House is situated in the heart of Polonnaruwa on the banks of the largest man-made reservoir in the world, Parakrama samudraya and surrounded by culturally rich experiences.

The Old Polonnaruwa Rest House, which served as the Queen of England’s vacation home in the 1960s and was built in 1870 as a circuit bungalow for British Government Agents, has been refurbished and changed its name to EKHO Lake House, Polonnaruwa.

EKHO Lake House offers breathtaking views of the historic center of Polonnaruwa’s UNESCO World Heritage site of Kingdoms past and looks out onto the expansive Sea of Parakrama Samudraya.

Why do we love EKHO Lake House?

We do love EKHO Lake House as it is caressed by the waters of one of the greatest man-made lakes, you cannot find a more serene and picturesque place to immerse yourself in serene surroundings and rich history echoing inches away.

The staff here are very professional and also friendly at the same time offering you the best possible service.

EKHO Lake House is a beautiful setting on the lake and its location is very ideal for you to explore the roundabouts of this ancient Polonnaruwa city. It’s actually walking distance to many ruins.

What can I look forward to?

Comfort

All the villas are airy and draw the outside world in, so they feel spacious and connected to nature even when you’re relaxing inside. EKHO Lake House comprises 9 Superior Rooms, 4 Deluxe Rooms, and the elegantly decorated Royal Suite. EKHO Lake House offers you the rich experience of staying at the original honeymoon suite of the Queen of England in 1954. Stay surrounded by royalty while enjoying modern, authentic furniture.

Air-conditioned rooms are comfortable and tastefully furnished. It features a private terrace, a TV and a minibar. En suite bathrooms will provide you with a bathtub or shower facilities.

All the rooms overlook the tranquil lake and provide breathtaking views of the wildlife habitat that surrounds it.

Experiences

Sri Lanka is a nation rich in culture and history. EKHO Lake House lies at the center of two of the nation’s historic capital cities: Polonnaruwa & Anuradhapura. You can easily access the ancient ruins of Polonnaruwa and Anuradhpura from here.

You can go on a boat ride on the Parakrama samudra arranged by the Lake House team and it would be a wonderful experience.

If you feel like staying inside you can just sit in their garden overlooking the stunning lake or dip in their pool to relax.

Gastronomy

The all-day dining restaurant opens early to serve breakfast to those who rise early but also waits for others who rise later. Here, time stands still, and guests eat whenever they choose.

You can also eat at this restaurant and opt to eat inside the establishment or, if you’ll prefer, outside on a deck with a panoramic view of the lake.

The restaurant offers a range of pan Asian to continental flavors and is open for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
