Nesting amidst a coconut palm garden is the Ayurveda Walauwa, a delightful hideaway in the south east cost of Sri Lanka, 65 Km from Colombo. Its marvelous location only 50 meters from an almost untouched many kilometers long beautiful broad white sandy beach of the Indian Ocean is unique.
Built, 120 years ago and taking the style of colonial architecture, for many decades the original manor house (Walauwa) was the stately home of a nobleman. A complete renovation retaining the traditional architecture enhanced the mansion into a specious resort with a beautiful big garden full of flowers and many valuable temple trees. Resort is ideal to practice the ancient healing art of Ayurveda.
In 2012 again the Walauwa was fully renovated and expanded, keeping the antique style.
An extra attraction is a very large swimming pool in the beautiful garden.
Walauwa reflects a very harmonious traditional atmosphere complemented by unique antique wood work.
The Resort is very successfully running as an Ayurveda Resort by the Pioneers of Ayurveda Resorts(Swiss/SriLankan) with big clientele mainly from Germany and Switzerland for 20 years. The operation easily can be continued.
It is decided to sell by the Swiss owner due to the death in the family.

- Experienced safe in Tsunami: As an exception for the whole costal area, the hotel is safe from Tsunami, as there is a reef ca. 1 km outside in the sea protecting the coastal area exactly in the extension of the hotel. The Tsunami, who hit the whole beach area in this region in 2004, did not even reach the beach in the area of the hotel.
