We spent a long weekend here at The Wallawwa and really enjoyed ourselves. Its a great excursion for anyone based in hectic Colombo, as we are. The hotel itself is set away from the road down a rustic jungle path and is really a bit of a hidden gem, especially as it's based within easy travelling distance for so many... more

We stayed at The Wallawwa after a night flight from Dubai and it's proximity to the Airport is great if your arriving after a long flight. It's tucked away down a jungle track and once you go through the old gates you know you've booked into the right place. The public areas make you feel you are in a gracious... more

We recently stayed at The Wallawa for only one night after arriving into Colombo on a late flight. We chose it due to its proximity to the airport and a recommendation from Sri Lanka In Style. It was well worth it, and one night is not long enough to do it justice. Whilst it is marketed as an airport hotel... more

A fabulous final night on our tour of Sri Lanka. Really wonderful rooms, delightful gardens and the nicest staff possible. Food was excellent. Highly recommended, by far the best place we stayed. Although not cheap it was most definitely worth the extra. more

We spent just 1 night at the Wallawwa the day before leaving after 2 weeks in Sri Lanka.Rather than leaving 6 hours prior to the flight we travleed up to the Wallawwa the day before...its just 20 mins from the airport. The place is a perfect oasis...relaxed calm and a great place to stay.The food was wonderful and as well... more

Our flight got in at night, so we found a place to stay near the airport. What a lucky find. We had a hard time finding it (they need better sineage ffrom the road), but once there, we were greated with a cool towel and welcome drink. The place is spectacular in its design. Very relaxing and peaceful. The rooms... more

I have a villa in the south of SL near Galle so travel here often. I tried the Wallawwa after seeing some great reviews on here and it did not disappoint.. Its a long flight to SL from the UK so another 1 and half hours to Colombo central can be just too much. This place is 20 mins from... more

We read about this hotel in a magazine on the flight to Sri Lanka and we decided to check it out. Since we had gone down south to the beach area, and we got unlucky with the sea and the weather, we decided to come back to Colombo a bit earlier and try and relax the last couple of days... more

We just came back from an awesome ten days in Sri Lanka. We were really worried about going in June and with all the bad press that Sri Lanka and the Tamil Tigers are getting but we had heard amazing things and got a great deal and decided to go for it! We ended our trip at the Wallawwa Hotel... more
