For those who want to stay close to the airport but do not want a traditional airport hotel, The Wallawwa is the ultimate choice. This boutique escape is less than 30 minutes from Colombo’s international airport yet has the atmosphere of a rural retreat.

The 18 rooms are split into Wallawwa Bedrooms, Garden Suites, Family Suites, and the grand Mountbatten Suite with plunge pool and terrazzo bath. All rooms are sleek and stylish with comfortable beds and ensuite bathroom. The suites are spacious with the addition of a private outdoor sitting area.

Facilities at The Wallawwa will make you want to stay more than just one night. Exceptional cuisine is served at the Asian-fusion verandah restaurant or in the lush tropical gardens by the swimming pool. The Z Spa offers rejuvenating treatments for post-flight bodies, including a special ‘Kidz’ massage.
