Introduction
 
A 'wallawwa' is typically an old manor house with architectural features of columns, courtyards and verandahs. The Wallawwa is just that and much more with an interesting history that dates back to the mid 17th century when it was owned by a head chieftain of Galle. This colonial bungalow has been lovingly restored maintaining its old world charm with a blend of luxurious comforts and stylish design. The bedrooms are situated around the central courtyard and pond. The restaurant serves sumptuous Asian fusion cuisine. Relax and unwind at the Z spa or laze by the swimming pool set amidst one of the finest private gardens in Sri Lanka.
 
Accommodation
 
 
There are 14 luxurious bedrooms of which 10 are Garden Suites and four Wallawwa Bedrooms. The stylish interiors are furnished with Balinese four-poster beds and writing desk. In-room facilities include widescreen satellite TV, wifi internet access, coffee/tea making facilities, and electronic safe. The terrazzo lined en-suite bathrooms have twin vanities and rain showers.

Wallawwa Bedrooms: These bedrooms are best suited for guests looking for a short pre or post flight stopover.
