Jetwing Hotels

Jetwing Hotels, based in Sri Lanka, has recently unveiled the Jetwing Wahawa Walauwa, an opulent boutique villa featuring all-suite accommodations. This villa, originally constructed in the 1870s as a stately family home, has been thoughtfully renovated to retain its historical charm while integrating contemporary luxuries.

“Walauwa” in the local language means “mansion,” traditionally home to the elite. The newly opened Jetwing Wahawa Walauwa lives up to this heritage with its impressive gateway, refined furnishings, detailed wood carvings, and striking artwork that reflect the craftsmanship of past centuries.

Set amidst a verdant coconut grove, the villa offers six luxurious suites, including four expansive grand suites. Each is embellished with authentic Sri Lankan artisanship melded with modern features. The suites are equipped with majestic four-poster beds and indulgent bathtubs, enhancing the comfort of guests. Attention to detail is evident in every aspect, from the artisanal wood details to the thoughtfully selected amenities. Adding to the exclusivity, a personal butler service is available to attend to guests’ needs, ensuring a tailored and exquisite stay.

Eating at Jetwing Wahawa Walauwa is a cherished experience. Visitors have the option to enjoy their meals in the sophisticated, open dining area that provides gourmet dishes alongside breathtaking views of the pool and verdant garden, or they can opt for a more secluded dining experience within the comfort of their suite.

Jetwing Wahawa Walauwa serves as an idyllic retreat for a tranquil holiday, embodying genuine rural allure. Guests can delight in the well-maintained gardens, the expansive swimming pool perfect for a refreshing dip or a leisurely day lounging, and the opportunity to spot numerous local bird species right from the villa’s grounds.

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. Easily accessible to the rest of the paradise island, Rambukkana offers a variety of activities from scenic hikes through lush landscapes, discovering tranquil spots and impressive views to ancient temples and historical landmarks, like the Balana Fort. 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.
