Surrounded by gardens, Wallawwa is a little pocket of tranquillity, under an hour’s drive from Colombo
The peace you’ll find at Wallawwa makes it feel that it’s further than 20 minutes from the airport. There are just 18 rooms here, and its boutique proportions mean there’s a calmness about it. Savvy travellers will plan ahead and book themselves in for a restorative treatment at Z Spa. To round off your zen, you might fancy joining the daily guided meditation session, too.
Why we love Wallawwa
-
It’s the perfect place to reinvigorate after a long-haul flight, spending a night or two at a leisurely pace, whether by the pool or taking a gentle boat ride on the Negombo Lagoon
-
The semi-al fresco restaurant is surrounded by lush greenery and champions local ingredients in Sri Lankan and international dishes
-
The simple yet spacious Wallawwa Bedrooms all have four-poster beds and access to a garden terrace. Other room types are larger, and some have private terraces
-
Lord Mountbatten and the Royal Air Force occupied the property during WWII. Today, there’s a suite named after him, complete with a private garden and plunge pool
Rooms
Wallawwa Bedrooms may be simple, but they have a stylishness and spaciousness to them that make them feel special. We particularly love the reading nooks in the larger Garden Suites, which also have a private terrace. Families are well accommodated, as a Wallawwa Bedroom can be combined with a Garden Suite to form an interconnecting family suite. Couples who are celebrating might want to consider treating themselves to the Mountbatten Suite, a grand suite complete with a private plunge pool.
Cosy rooms that have a four-poster bed and lead directly onto the courtyard from the veranda.

Facilities
A single restaurant serves an all-day menu, with the fragrant curries a particular hit with guests. Room service is available (handy to know if you’re arriving late) although the open-sided restaurant is a lovely place to enjoy a relaxing meal.
What's Included
Breakfast at the restaurant
Upgrade Options
Half Board • Breakfast and dinner at the restaurant
Full Board • Breakfast, lunch and dinner at the restaurant
Try a restorative massage at Z Spa, although facials, scrubs, and wraps are also available. A special treatment is designed for children aged between four and 12.
Two rooms can be combined to make an interconnecting suite for families. There’s plenty to keep children busy during downtime, such as bat and ball games, board games, and a beautiful swimming pool. There’s also a lovely Vesak workshop, where children can learn about the tradition of Sri Lankan lantern-making as they make and decorate their own version.

Exzellent, outstanding Service and Food. A very special, beautiful and peaceful place to stay. Great surroundings and Pool, very comfortable rooms. Wie stayed there one Night in a round Trip the First Night After the Airport. Like to get back there Sometimes.
Bournemouth, United KingdomMarch 2025
Wonderful hotel, close enough to the airport, but hidden amongst trees and very peaceful. The pool was very serene and it was lovely relaxing to the sound of the birds. The little extras, such as tea and cake in the afternoon and a complimentary drink or two late afternoon are the touches that really help make this place. The rooms were very clean and comfortable and the staff were very friendly. Would definitely return. Dinner was fantastic.
from North YorkshireFebruary 2025
This delightful hotel provided us with a very warm welcome to Sri Lanka. Our room was huge with all necessary amenities. The staff were attentive and very helpful as we tried to orientate ourselves. Food here is superb and meals are taken on a lovely open terrace. The pool is secluded in very attractive gardens. A great place to start our trip. Thank you to everyone.
