This luxury Walawwa is a perfect getaway to serenity. 3 bedroomed Walawwa has a majestic interior and a beautiful spacious garden. It also features a private infinity swimming pool, which gives a fantastic view of the luscious mountains containing the Hunnasgiriya mountain range.

Galkanda Walawwa is a Sri Lankan traditional manor house and it is a 20 minute drive from the City of Kandy.

This ancestral manor has a historical background dating back to the times of the Kandyan chieftains. It has a history of over 100 years. The wooden carvings, high ceilings, large verandas, 13 inch wide walls made out of stone and clay and a clay tiled roof, is a masterpiece of architecture and makes this manor quite unique.

Some of the special features of this Walawwa is that it is built on top of a mountain and gives a super view of mountains all around. It also has open air sky showers with hot/ cold water on tap which gives a fabulous view of the mountains when you are having a shower. There is also an extra kitchen where one could cook using firewood and have a look at the ancient grinding stones and compare with the present day modern appliances like blenders and grinders.

The pool side BBQ dinners are very popular among the guests. You could also visit the ancient village Buddhist temple and a water fall within a 10 minute drive. You could also take a walk in the village and see the rice fields.
Now the Walawwa is managed by the third generation of owners. The Managing Director, Mr. Suresh Ratwatte, is a veteran hotelier with over 35 years of star class hotel experience.

The great opportunity is once the booking is done you get the entire place for yourselves and no one else can book.
