Nestled within seven acres of tropical gardens between Negombo and Colombo lies the boutique hotel of Wallawwa.

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.

“EVERY TRIP EXCELLENT – AND MORE TO COME”

I’ve been on several small group holidays with 91�� and every one has been outstanding. My most recent trip in February was no exception – expertly organised, responsive to questions, and full of memorable experiences. The itineraries are well thought out, the hotels top-notch, and the group sizes just right. Their tour leaders are knowledgeable, supportive and great company. I haven’t looked elsewhere since discovering Ultimate – and I’m already planning my next.

“FAULTLESS AND FUN”

We’ve just returned from a Danube cruise with Douglas Skeggs and Joanna Worsley, with a few days in Vienna beforehand – all brilliantly overseen by Emily. From meet and greet at the airport to every detail on board the Amadeus Cara, the organisation was seamless. We’re already looking forward to our next Escorted Tour with 91��.

“TRIP TO THE TOP OF THE WORLD”

Everything about our trip was excellent. While it’s a considered investment, the service more than justifies the cost. We loved the accommodation – beautifully chosen and thoughtfully located. Our guides ranged from grear to truly exceptional. And the places we visited? They exceeded all expectations. Peru is an extraordinarily beautiful country, and this journey gave us a real sense of its wonder.
