A Quiet Rural Location Near the Airport

The Wallawwa is not your typical Colombo airport hotel. Set in 200-year-old tropical gardens just 15-minutes’ drive from Sri Lanka’s main international gateway, the award-winning 18-bedroom country house hotel with gourmet food, jungle pool and heavenly spa, carved out of an atmospheric 18th century manor house, exudes style and serenity. As an alternative to hotels in Negombo, The Wallawwa promises to start or end your Sri Lankan holiday in style. Tranquillity reigns at The Wallawwa, and the Z Spa captures the peaceful mood by pampering guests with luxurious and restful treatments.

Accommodation

The eighteen bedrooms and suites gracefully blend the character of an 18th century manor house with bold contemporary additions. Super soft linen dresses four-poster beds positioned to gaze into the gardens, and little details such as vintage phones and bold prints infuse rooms with a retro-contemporary vibe. Relax in peace and privacy in a chicly-styled Wallawwa Bedroom or choose a more spacious Garden Suite for their large bathrooms and open terraces beside lush border-fringed lawns. Families can take advantage of the interconnecting bedrooms and suites, and the ultimate extravagance is the two-bedroom Mountbatten Suite with private plunge pool.

Dining

  • The convivial open-sided restaurant, The Verandah, serves exquisite a la carte Asian Fusion cuisine throughout the day to tables overlooking the 200-year-old tropical gardens. The Wallawwa’s innovative menus use the finest local ingredients, and many of the fruits, vegetables and herbs used in the freshly cooked meals are plucked daily from the extensive kitchen garden.
