The Wallawwa

Set in an exquisitely renovated colonial manor house – occupied at one time by the Royal Air Force during World War II – our award-winning boutique hotel is enclosed by 200-year old tropical gardens and is home to 18 beautifully appointed rooms and suites, a gorgeous palm-fringed swimming pool, a heavenly spa, garden restaurant and library.

Accommodation

Our 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 one of our chicly styled Wallawwa Bedrooms or choose a more spacious Garden Suite for their large bathrooms and open terraces beside lush border-fringed lawns. Families can take advantage of our interconnecting bedrooms and suites, and our ultimate extravagance is the two-bedroom Mountbatten Suite with private plunge pool.

Location

The Wallawwa is conveniently located not only for Colombo Airport but also for seeing Colombo’s shops and sights, and exploring the busy fishing town of Negombo. The rural region surrounding the hotel is enhanced with old temples, and a good road connection to Kandy. This means that lowland tea estates and elephant sanctuaries are an easy day trip away.

Colombo offers a great, high energy contrast to The Wallawwa’s serene manicured gardens, and the city is a rapidly emerging cosmopolitan capital equipped with healthy food cafes, upscale restaurants, original shops and excellent contemporary art galleries. Colombo’s origins date back to the 16th century, and the city’s ageing colonial-era buildings, wonderfully contrast with the rapidly increasing shiny-new high rises.

Negombo, a well-developed west coast beach town, is a 30-minute drive from The Wallawwa. A vibrant centre of Sri Lanka’s fishing trade, Negombo has more than its fair share of Gothic churches, and its predominantly Catholic residents are testament to the town’s nickname, Little Rome. The town’s beach is a long, wide stretch of sand flanked by large hotels, while the lagoon and Muthurajawela Wetlands form an important wildlife reserve.

Dining

Our 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. Our innovative menus use the finest local ingredients, and many of the fruits, vegetables and herbs used in our freshly cooked meals are plucked daily from our extensive kitchen garden.

Our chefs can cater to all dietary requirements with prior notice, and a kid’s menu, BBQ menu and in-room dining menu are also available.

A selection of fine wines, cocktails, spirits and beers perfectly complement our menus.

We welcome outside diners and the restaurant is conveniently located near Colombo and Negombo making it perfect for enjoying your last meal in Sri Lanka before a long haul flight.
