The Best Room For You
- Near the airport: Located just 15-minutes from Colombo International Airport
- Quiet & relaxing: It might be near the airport but this is no airport hotel – the tropical grounds are spacious, tranquil and relaxing
- Superb spa: A spa with flexible opening hours for indulgent pre- and post-flight treatments
- Home grown produce: Delicious meals using produce plucked from their kitchen garden
- Accommodation:
The eighteen bedrooms and suites gracefully blend the character of an 18th century manor house with bold contemporary additions. Super soft linen dresses four-poster beds positioned to gaze into the gardens, and little details such as vintage phones and bold prints infuse rooms with a retro-contemporary vibe. Relax in peace and privacy in one of the chicly styled Wallawwa Bedrooms or choose a more spacious Garden Suite for their large bathrooms and open terraces beside lush border-fringed lawns. Families can take advantage of the interconnecting bedrooms and suites, and the ultimate extravagance is the two-bedroom Mountbatten Suite with private plunge pool. - Location:
The Wallawwa is conveniently located just 15-minutes’ drive from Colombo International Airport yet its lush setting is extremely tranquil, tucked into a quiet corner of Negombo’s rural hinterland. It takes just 30-minutes to reach Colombo and beach-blessed Negombo, a Catholic settlement famous for its fishing trade, its expansive lake and network of old Dutch canals. - Getting there:
The hotel is best reached by car and is situated 15-minutes from the airport. - What to pack:
Light, summer clothes and swimwear. - Restaurants:
The convivial open-sided restaurant, The Verandah, serves exquisite a la carte Asian Fusion cuisine throughout the day to tables overlooking the 200-year-old tropical gardens. The menus use the finest local ingredients, and many of the fruits, vegetables and herbs used are plucked daily from the extensive kitchen garden. - Spa:
The Z Spa has both single and double air-conditioned treatment rooms with open-air bathrooms, all of which radiate from a Zen-like central courtyard. The spa has no set opening hours; the therapists plan treatments to fit each guest’s schedule. - Signature Activities:
Try your hand at a Sri Lankan cookery demonstration, visit the in-house vegetable garden or relax during a rejuvenating spa treatment.
- All rates are subject to 30.08% government taxes (VAT, NBT, TDL) & service charge.
The hotel can accommodate a maximum of 2 children up to 2 years old when sharing the adult’s room. For ages 3-8, although there is a supplement of USD 60 per child.

- Bed & Breakfast basis and upgrade to Half board or Full board via a supplement
