The original "Wallawaa" or Manor House provided spices to the world from the nearby port of Galle. Today the Villa and the nearby Gatehouse have been totally redesigned to maximise the use of light, natural ventilation and capture the history of the jungle and the expansive views over the paddy fields. Brilliant colours lightup the spice filled gardens and water recycling system, creating an ecosystem for local wildlife and birds. High flying eagles and peacocks, tiny finches and honeyeaters, woodpecers and frogs, generate the song of the jungle. Every nook and chill out area is unique in its deign and purpose, work online, enjoy a peaceful morning tea or coffee, romantic dinners or in room massage services. Nothing is left to chance, individuality and personality meet creativity and tranquility.
