introwalawwaTHE WALLAWWA

NEGOMBO AREA | WEST COAST| SRI LANKA

2O Mins from International Airport. 30 Mins from Negombo Beach. 1hr from Colombo

A stylish and peaceful retreat nestled in exotic tropical gardens, close to Colombo's airport. Sri Lanka.
Whether you are disembarking from a long flight or preparing to embark on one, an icy cold drink, a friendly face, good food and a restful room seem heaven-sent. The W, as it's known, was once a country estate belonging to the head chieftain of Galle, and it's ideally situated for a stopover on your way in or out of Colombo airport. But with its small spa, excellent chef, gorgeous pool and exotic gardens, it's the kind of place you might want to linger. Use it as a base for exploring the city's shops, museums and nearby golf courses, or a couple of days' gentle acclimatization.

The 14 rooms are spacious and comfy. Dark woods are offset by bright striped and floral fabrics, and fresh flowers waft their scent throughout. History buffs will love the background of the hotel; tired bodies will luxuriate in the comfy beds.
It's beautifully quiet - you would never know you're only 20 mins from the international airport, and 45-60 from the hustle and bustle of Sri Lanka's capital. And best of all, the staff are stand-out; as you get to know them by name, it feels like being with family. The Wallawwa is a great hotel by any standards - not just a great stopover near the airport. The Wallawwa is en route to the Cultural Triangle, hill country and the southern coast. The Wallawwa is easily accessible yet entirely secluded - a luxury private hideaway.
