The Wallawwa, Negombo, Sri Lanka

Overview

Just 15 minutes from Colombo Airport, The Wallawwa is a beautifully restored 18th-century manor house set within three acres of lush, tropical gardens. A peaceful retreat of quiet courtyards, koi ponds and frangipani-lined paths, it offers an elegant sanctuary at the beginning or end of a Sri Lankan journey.

Rooms and suites are designed for comfort and calm, using natural materials, bespoke furnishings and large beds dressed in soft linens. Many feature private verandas opening onto secluded garden corners. The hotel’s palm-shaded swimming pool is a serene space for unwinding, while The Z Spa provides soothing massages, ideal after a long flight.

Dining is a highlight – the award-winning restaurant serves seasonal Sri Lankan and Asian-inspired dishes, enjoyed in a relaxed garden setting. With warm personalised service and a refined heritage atmosphere, The Wallawwa offers a memorable and restful pause close to the airport without ever feeling like one.
