This boutique hotel, located in the heart of Sri Lanka’s Cultural Triangle, offers a peaceful and intimate stay, easy access to nearby sites, and fantastic views of Sigiriya and Pidurangala.
Tucked away in lush greenery away from main roads, Roo
Mansala is built on a beautiful spot of land. The three villas containing the
guest rooms are accessible via walkways through the gardens and around the
swimming pool. The nearby outdoor restaurant is covered but with open sides and
offers delicious Sri Lankan and Western dishes as set menus or a la
carte meals.
The location of Roo Mansala couldn’t be much better for
exploring the many historical sites of the Cultural Triangle. Sigiriya and
Pidurangala are just 1km away, the Dambulla Cave Temple is within a 30-minute
drive, and Anuradhapura and Polonnaruwa are around an hour away. When not exploring the plethora of cultural sites of the area, cool down in the pool or relax on the viewing platform with
spectacular views of Sigiriya and Pidulrangala, as well as the jungle and
wildlife in between.
When it first opened in 2018, the hotel comprised three villas, each with an upstairs and downstairs room. Since then, two new rooms have been added, featuring private balconies with plunge pools. Although all the rooms are spacious and well decorated with colourful themes and a distinctly Sri Lankan vibe, we’d strongly recommend the upper-level options, as the views of Sigiriya and Pidurangala are best enjoyed from the balconies.
With its ideal location, private and peaceful atmosphere,
and excellent facilities and dining, Roo Mansala is an easy choice when
visiting the Cultural Triangle.
Superior - This is what we would describe as our standard category. These will be decent 3/4* hotels providing a really good level of service. We would generally expect them to be providing a little something extra, in terms of character, guest experience or facilities too.
