Thalpe Walawwa Heritage Villa – A Favorite for Families in Unawatuna
About the Hotel
Historic Family Villa
Thalpe Walawwa Heritage Villa is a 15th-century family estate in Unawatuna, once home to Sri Lankan politicians. The property sits on acres of greenery, 3 km from Unawatuna Beach and 10 km from Koggala. The villa features traditional architecture, an infinity pool, and organic gardens.
Rooms & Suites
The Garden Villa includes two interconnecting suites with four-poster beds, private patios, and garden views. The Walawwa Suites feature antique wooden furniture and overlook the pool. All rooms have air conditioning, tea/coffee makers, and walk-in showers. The Mudliar's Suite blends colonial design with views of Thalpe Beach.
Dining & Cuisine
Meals use ingredients from the villa's organic garden. The chef prepares Sri Lankan, Western, and Eastern dishes, served in-villa or at the main dining area. Private dining options include poolside sunset meals or garden dinners under the stars.
Activities & Wildlife
The infinity pool faces a coconut plantation. Peacocks and wild birds frequent the gardens. Nearby, the turtle hatchery in Koggala rehabilitates sea turtles. Boat tours offer whale and dolphin sightings. Galle Fort, a UNESCO site, is 20 minutes away. The family also owns a tea plantation with factory tours.
Location & Transport
The villa is 1 km from Dream Cabana Swing and Metaramba Temple, 2 km from Unawatuna Beach, and 2.5 km from Yatagala Temple and Rumasala Mountain. No direct public transport is listed; private transfers or taxis are recommended.
