Featuring pool views, Wildescape Polonnaruwa in Polonnaruwa features accommodation, an outdoor swimming pool, a garden, a terrace and a restaurant. Complimentary WiFi is available.

There is a private bathroom with bidet and free toiletries in each unit, along with a hairdryer. An Absolute Gem in Polonnaruwa – A Slice of Paradise! Our stay at Wisecapes Polonnaruwa was nothing short of exceptional. Nestled amidst a vast expanse of lush greenery, this serene retreat offers the perfect blend of nature, comfort, and warm hospitality. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with open arms by Kumara, the manager, whose professionalism and kindness set the tone for our unforgettable experience. His impeccable English and deep knowledge of hospitality truly elevated our stay. The Property & Location The location is simply breathtaking—a huge area surrounded by nature, making it the ideal getaway for those looking to unwind and immerse themselves in tranquility. Despite its peaceful seclusion, it’s just a stone’s throw away from the famous Polonnaruwa ruins, allowing us to explore the rich history of the area and return to a relaxing oasis. The swimming pool was another highlight—crystal-clear, well-maintained, and not too deep, making it perfect for both beginners and those just looking to relax. We spent hours simply floating, soaking in the serene atmosphere, and enjoying the natural beauty surrounding us. Accommodation & Comfort Our room was spotless, with a perfectly functioning air conditioner that kept us cool in the tropical heat. The bathroom was pristine, with clean, well-maintained toilets and showers—a true testament to the attention to detail and high standards maintained by the team. It’s clear that the staff here take great pride in ensuring every corner of the property remains immaculate. An Unforgettable Breakfast Experience One of the absolute highlights of our stay was the delicious breakfast included in our booking. Guests have the choice of a European or Sri Lankan breakfast, and as a German-Sri Lankan couple, we opted for the authentic Sri Lankan spread—a decision we’ll never regret!

There is an on-site restaurant, plus free private parking and free WiFi are available. The accommodation provides airport transfers, while a bicycle rental service is also available. First of all, I'd really like to thank the host for his welcome and kindness! The guesthouse is located in a really calm area which is surrounded by nature and wildlife. The room was very spacious and clean, as was the bathroom. I was able to eat there in the evening and the meals were varied and excellent! I also enjoyed the breakfast! The host is always here when needed and takes great care of his guests. He offered night walks to see the wild animals in the area. We were also treated to a tour of the rice fields and a tasting of a fresh coconut harvested in front of us! He takes the time to chat with the guests, which is really nice! I learned a lot thanks to him :) I can't recommend staying at Ruins Villa enough!
