The Wallawwa
Region
West Coast
Overview
Set in 200-year-old tropical gardens just 15-minutes’ drive north of Sri Lanka’s main international gateway, the award-winning 18-bedroom country house accommodation with gourmet food, jungle pool, and heavenly spa, carved out of an atmospheric 18th-century manor house, exudes style and serenity. The Wallawwa promises to start or end your Sri Lankan holiday in style.
Negombo, a well-developed west coast beach town, is a 30-minute drive from The Wallawwa. A vibrant centre of Sri Lanka’s fishing trade, Negombo has more than its fair share of Gothic churches, and its predominantly Catholic residents are testament to the town’s nickname, Little Rome. The town’s beach is a long, wide stretch of sand flanked by large hotels, while the lagoon and Muthurajawela Wetlands form an important wildlife reserve.
