Jetwing Hotels, Sri Lanka recently announced the opening of Jetwing Wahawa Walauwa, a luxurious all-suite boutique villa steeped in history and elegance

Originally built in  the 1870s, this all-suite boutique villa, once a grand residential mansion, has been meticulously restored to preserve its architectural splendor while offering modern comforts. 

The term “walauwa” translates to “large house” and is historically referred to the residences of  the local aristocracy. Jetwing Wahawa Walauwa embodies this legacy, with its grand entrance,  elegant furniture, intricate woodwork, and exquisite art that echoes the artistry of a bygone era.  

Hidden under a canopy of a lush coconut plantation, the Walauwa features four grand suites and two additional suites, each adorned with traditional Sri Lankan craftsmanship and contemporary amenities.

A perfect setting for a relaxing vacation, Jetwing Wahawa Walauwa is a serene escape for authentic country charm.

Rambukkana is a magnificent destination in the heart of Sri Lanka’s lush Sabaragamuwa Province, two and a half hours away from Colombo and one and a half hours away from Kandy.
