The Wallawwa
Couples
Families
The Wallawwa is a special and secluded colonial manor house, a short drive away from Sri Lanka’s airport and the white sandy Negombo beaches.
It’s hard to believe that such a beautiful and tranquil setting could be just 20 minutes from bustling Colombo, and so close to the Galle, Kandy, and Dambulla highways. This airport hotel stands out from other alternatives – nestled in beautiful, well-manicured gardens, Wallawwa is developing a reputation as one of Sri Lanka’s most exciting boutique hotels.
Ideal for travellers seeking a peaceful start or end to their Sri Lankan journey. The Wallawwa’s proximity to the airport, combined with its luxurious amenities and serene atmosphere, makes it perfect for couples, solo travellers, and families looking to relax in comfort.
Perhaps one of the biggest joys is the delicious cuisine on offer – a fusion of traditional Sri Lankan and South Asian styles, as well as rustic classics. For the more adventurous traveller, real local cuisine will delight, and delicious curries and other Sri Lankan specialties are readily available. If a taste of home is all you’re after, the Wallawwa has developed a first class Western menu.
The Rooms
The Wallawwa features 18 elegantly designed rooms and suites, each blending colonial architecture with contemporary comforts. Options range from Wallawwa Bedrooms to expansive Garden Suites and the luxurious Mountbatten Suite, all equipped with modern amenities, private verandas, and views of the lush gardens.
