Thalpe Walawwa Heritage Villa

In Talpe near Unawatuna on Sri Lanka’s south coast — a restored manor house set on a 10‑acre organic coconut estate, minutes from Mihiripenna, Dalawella and Unawatuna beaches and about 20 minutes from Galle Fort; roughly 2.5 hours from Katunayake (CMB).

Thalpe Walawwa Heritage Villa is a 75‑year‑old, beautifully restored manor with five individually furnished, air‑conditioned rooms that open to private balconies or patios; bathrooms feature showers and complimentary toiletries, and the garden gives you sea‑breeze mornings and the distant lap of the ocean.

Take a dip in the outdoor (and indoor) pools, rent a bicycle, browse the library, or fire up the barbecue in the picnic area; there’s a diving club nearby, tour assistance, wedding services, a playroom for kids, on‑site parking and complimentary Wi‑Fi.

Conference hall and meeting/presentation facilities, express check‑in/out, a library, complimentary wireless internet access, free self parking and a roundtrip airport shuttle available for a surcharge.

On‑site restaurant serving local cuisine, breakfast available daily for a fee, and limited‑hours room service — perfect for sampling regional flavors without leaving the villa.
