Stay 

The Wallawwa resort is single storey building with tiled roofing, as it used to be when it was a 'manor house'. Now lovingly and sensitively restored it is a 17-room boutique hotel. The front of the building is original whilst the bedrooms, set around a courtyard, are all new. All rooms, located on the ground floor open into a courtyard and come with King size Balinese four poster double or twin beds. Terrazzo lined en-suite wet room with rain shower and basin.

The spacious Garden Suites are almost double the size of rooms. While Family Suites and the exclusive Mountbatten Suite have 2 bedrooms, a large living room with sofa. They come with one King size Balinese four poster double or 2 Queen size beds. Both of these suites open onto a private garden with comfortable seating area, the latter being much larger than the Family Suite.

ChildCare 

Children are welcome to stay at The Wallawwa. There is a family suite available and restaurant have children's menu. Babysitting service can be arranged, if requested.

Dine 

Breakfast at The Wallawwa is mostly in the veranda overlooking a lovely garden set within the 3-acre estate. Try the egg hopper, with its subtle coconut milk fragrance and ever so delicate batter.  The Wallawwa restaurant is probably the highlight of the hotel. Meals are a mix of European and local dishes but don’t miss the Sri Lankan curry and rice. The pork belly and the Malaysian crab in spicy curry sauce are both amazing! There is good range of wine list, and not too expensive for Sri Lanka.

Relax 

The Wallawwa has a 16-metre pool surrounded by lush foliage, discreetly walled by shrubbery for privacy. Across, is a beautiful "natural" pond with some herons, kingfishers, other birds and butterflies. If you are still within the price, try to visit the Z Spa, which provides excellent massages, followed by a relaxing herbal tea whilst reclining and looking across a small pond in the waiting area. There is an interesting library with a selection of books on Philosophy, Politics, Religion & Fiction.

Experience 

The Wallawwa resort can arrange excursions to the fish markets of Negombo, just 30 minutes away, or into Colombo city centre for shopping and visiting cultural sites & museums. The Wallawwa is just 2 hours 45 minutes from Kandy & Dambulla, thus making it possible to visit Pinnawela Elephant Orphanage and the sights of Kandy or Sigiriya Rock Fortress and Dambulla Cave Temples in a day.
