Located just on the banks of Parakrama Samudraya in Polonnaruwa, the old Polonnaruwa rest house which was where once Queen Elizabeth II, stayed at during her first visit to Ceylon then, in 1954. Ekho lake house was upgraded in 2014 to a boutique property. Even now queen’s suite is the most sophisticated one of all. Lake views is what the lake house is known the most for, just standing above the lake Ekho has the unique location advantage. The pool is infinity edged and makes it feels like you are actually swimming in the lake. Hand in hand with the modern touch while the old charm also comes along mostly through the pictures of olden day hung on the walls. Having even an outdoor terrace where a guest can relax, when you want a different escape from the lake views, the tactfully manicured lawns may take your breath away. The cuisine is both local and international and dining with a sunset lake view could be the highlight of your holiday. The rooms are of two categories and both offer spectacular lake views.
