Media Reviews
"'Situated 15 minutes away from the Airport, the Wallawwa is much like a panacea to the busy main streets of Negombo. Turning off from Minuwangoda road to a cozy lane, one already feels the welcoming arms of this hideaway. More than 200 years old, the property has inherited sprawling gardens that promise a stay of rejuvenating respite in the comforting surroundings of nature.'"

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.
