Occupying the building of a prestigious old ‘Walauwa' (colonial manor house) and nestling comfortably in the hills outside Kandy, the Ratwatte Walauwa has been stylishly decorated and restored into one of the Sri Lanka's premier boutique hotels. The hotel is ideal for those seeking complete relaxation and is the perfect destination for a honeymoon or a romantic retreat. There are just 9 bedrooms at the Ratwatte Walauwa and the overall experience can be likened more to staying in a private house than that of a hotel. Hidden in the spacious gardens there is a dreamy infinity pool with stunning views out over the rice paddy fields. Guests can also book a treatment or massage with the hotel's own expert Ayurvedic therapist and enjoy top class cuisine at the small restaurant.
