Jetwing Hotels 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. The walauwa features four grand suites and two additional suites, each adorned with traditional Sri Lankan craftsmanship and contemporary amenities. Each suite boasts a four-poster bed, and a luxurious bathtub for relaxation, ensuring guests have every modern convenience at their fingertips. Every detail, from the hand-carved woodwork to the carefully chosen amenities, has been designed to create an atmosphere of unparalleled comfort; further complemented by a dedicated personal butler to ensure that every need is met, providing a seamless experience of comfort and care.

Dining at Jetwing Wahawa Walauwa is an experience to be savored, with each moment designed to be extraordinary. Guests can choose to dine in the elegant open-style dining hall that offers gourmet meals amidst stunning views of the pool and the lush garden or enjoy the luxuries of a private meal in their own suite.

Hidden under the canopy of a coconut plantation in Wahawa, Rambukkana, a quaint town in the heart of Sri Lanka’s lush Sabaragamuwa Province, Jetwing Wahawa Walauwwa is located two and a half hours away from Colombo and one and a half hours away from Kandy. This magnificent location, overlooked by the standard round tour circuit, is well connected and easily accessible to the rest of the paradise island. The property provides the perfect setting for a relaxing vacation, offering a peaceful escape and authentic country charm. Guests can enjoy the property’s beautifully landscaped gardens, the large pool ideal for swimming or lounging, and the chance to observe a variety of endemic birds without venturing beyond the confines of the villa.

Located a few minutes away from Pinnawala, Rambukkana and its surroundings offer a variety of activities. Guests can enjoy lesser known, yet scenic hikes through lush landscapes, discovering tranquil spots and impressive views. The area is home to ancient temples and historical landmarks, like the Balana Fort, with its own history and architectural beauty. Local villages present opportunities to engage with traditional Sri Lankan life, from exploring artisanal crafts to participating in local festivals. The short train ride from Rambukkana to Kadugannawa, arguably the most scenic stretch of the Colombo – Kandy train journey, offers spectacular views of Bible Rock (Bathalegala) and the picturesque valley below. Train enthusiasts can also visit the National Railway Museum adjoining the Kadugannawa railway station, which showcases the fascinating history of Sri Lanka’s railway system, one of the oldest in Asia.

Here at Jetwing Wahawa Walauwa, every moment is crafted with care and every detail is designed to be remarkable, inviting guests to rediscover the epitome of heritage luxury.
