We see the city through a different lens. While Wallawwa is your sanctuary, the energy of Colombo is within easy reach and best explored by tuk-tuk and on foot 🛺

It’s a chance to unpeel the layers of this metropolis, from grand landmarks to the hidden neighbourhood shrines that tell the city's true story.

What’s not to love about the Mountbatten Suite?

The private plunge pool framed by the lush, quiet gardens? No.

The garden-facing king bed or the architectural flow of the open-plan lounge? Definitely not.

The ritual of the rain shower and the quiet luxury of walk-through wardrobes? Couldn’t possibly.

It’s the scale of a private villa met with the soul of a sanctuary. The list of why it’s our favorite respite is endless ✨ 🌿

We designed Mandapaya with high vaulted ceilings to catch the cross-breeze that flows through Wallawwa, ensuring that even in the heat of the afternoon, the practice feels cool and centered. It’s less about a workout and more about synchronising with the slow, rhythmic hum of the surrounding jungle 🌿

Hidden behind thick tropical foliage, our pool area is where the afternoon slows down to a crawl.

It’s tucked away perfectly in a corner of the gardens, where the only thing on the agenda is deciding which book to read next 👌🏼
