The tranquil 18^th century manor house is comprised of 18 bedrooms and suites, all of which features high wooden ceilings and comfortable four-poster beds. Each bedroom opens onto a private veranda with views of the spectacular gardens, and in the Mountbatten Suite, there is also a private plunge pool.

The hotel is only a 45-minute drive south to Sri Lanka’s capital, Colombo. Here you can explore the bustling markets, historic landmarks and hidden gems on a walking tour. If you take a short drive north of the hotel, you will end up in Negombo, which is renowned for its vibrant fish market and often referred to as ‘Little Rome’ for its numerous catholic churches and cathedrals.

Surrounded by vast coconut and pineapple plantations, the rural retreat of Wallawwa is a tranquil contrast to the hustle and bustle of Colombo and the pristine beaches of Negombo. For those who are seeking to relax, head to the on-site spa for a Vikasa yoga class or be pampered by an array of wellness treatments.

“IN SAFE HANDS, EVEN WHEN PLANS CHANGE”

Every detail of our Patagonia tour was expertly arranged – from transfers and flights to the choice of hotels. When our onward flight to the Falklands was delayed by two days, 91�� stepped in immediately and secured a hotel for us. It was an enormous relief, especially as we don’t speak Spanish and had no idea what to do next. That level of thoughtful, responsive service stayed with us – it turned a potential travel hiccup into a lasting positive memory.

“PROFESSIONAL, PERSONAL – AND A REAL PLEASURE”

From the moment we got in touch, everything felt smooth and well looked after. The team were not only professional and thorough – providing tailored suggestions with clear costings – but also genuinely friendly. Even after we returned, a follow-up email (and a bottle of wine!) showed just how thoughtful Ultimate Travel really is. Nothing was too much trouble. We already have more trips booked and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.

“A TRIP OF A LIFETIME, PERFECTLY PLANNED”

Dear Claire, our trip was 100% amazing. We fell in love with Chile. I love how we were introduced to all of the different parts of the country. Our family was engaged in all of the fun from beginning to end. The lodges were just perfection. I wouldn’t have changed a thing. I really appreciate all you did to make our trip a trip of a lifetime.
