Walatta House, una casa moderna construida con recursos sostenibles y ecológicos de Sri Lanka, es una villa junto a la playa de Tangalle con suites de tres dormitorios, zonas de estar y comedor de planta abierta, piscinas infinitas y amplios jardines. Esta estructura de hormigón con paredes pulidas a la vista, muebles elegantes, paredes de cristal en los dormitorios y comodidades modernas, es única en su clase y se distingue de todas las demás villas de playa de Sri Lanka. Los jardines son exuberantes con plantas y numerosas palmeras y se puede pasar horas caminando explorando los terrenos. La belleza de esta villa radica en su capacidad para combinar el aire libre con la vida en el interior, para que pueda disfrutar de lo mejor de ambos mundos.
En la parte trasera de la propiedad, para una estancia más privada y exclusiva, se encuentran los tres lujosos dormitorios de Walatta House. El primer dormitorio es el principal, que da acceso a la piscina a través de puertas de cristal que también sirven de ventanas a una excelente vista. La habitación tiene aire acondicionado y está amueblada con una cama tamaño king.
Los otros dos dormitorios con aire acondicionado se encuentran uno tras otro detrás del dormitorio principal, amueblados con una cama de matrimonio y camas individuales. Los dormitorios presentan un diseño más contemporáneo con una decoración minimalista, paredes de ladrillo visto, exuberantes vistas verdes y una iluminación tenue para crear un ambiente romántico. Cada dormitorio tiene un cuarto de baño con duchas exteriores y otras comodidades.

Ubicada en hectáreas de terreno, Walatta House cuenta con una impresionante piscina infinita de 15 metros que se asienta frente a interminables parcelas de jardines verdes. Una terraza de madera conecta la sala de estar con la piscina y, justo al lado, encontrará tumbonas en las que podrá relajarse, aplicarse crema solar y echarse una siesta. Los jardines están repletos de palmeras maduras que forman un matorral que proporciona sombra y un ambiente más fresco.
La piscina infinita es el lugar ideal desde el que se puede disfrutar de unas vistas abundantes del océano Índico que deslumbra bajo el sol tropical. Los jardines están equipados con comedores al aire libre para que pueda tomar su desayuno con un formidable telón de fondo.
Con la vida sostenible como objetivo, Walatta House ha utilizado materiales naturales de origen local para construir la propiedad y eso se puede ver en sus paredes de hormigón, techo de madera y plantas en el interior de la sala de estar. La sala de estar abierta es, sin duda, el lugar más ideal para relajarse, ya que se puede disfrutar de las vistas mientras se descansa en los cómodos sofás y sillas. El salón está decorado con flores, que conducen a otra sala con asientos en forma de L y una mesa de trabajo.
El comedor forma parte de este mismo espacio, con una mesa de ocho plazas en la esquina, junto a deliciosas plantas y árboles que crean un entorno exuberante y verde. Una barra de desayuno de piedra con taburetes altos se encuentra frente a la vista del océano también para un bocado rápido o bebidas. El enorme terreno que rodea la villa le mantendrá ocupado durante horas al descubrirlo. La cocina se encuentra detrás de la barra de desayuno con amplias comodidades y construida con un diseño rústico similar, de piedra.
Todo lo que pueda pedir está disponible en Walatta House, con un personal amable que responderá a todas sus preguntas y se asegurará de que la villa permanezca limpia durante su estancia. Para la lavandería, los masajes, los coches, etc., puede pedir al personal que haga las reservas, ya que tienen un coste adicional. Un chef personal puede ser nombrado a petición para ayudar a preparar las comidas diarias.
Staying at Walatta House is a spectacular chance to rid yourself of any and all worries where all you need to think about is walking alongside an almost private beach right at your doorstep, experience the sun-kissed skies unlike any you've seen before, and getting started on championing that tropical lifestyle. Tangalle is close to popular places like Mirissa and Weligama where you can enjoy surfing, whale and dolphin watching and even visit the turtle hatcheries.
7.8/10Everything was great from arrival to departure It even went over expectations We strongly recommend this villa We will be back Many thanks ?
10/10Walatta house was one of our highlights of our architectural travel. The house is fantastic and all of us were excited. Also the staff and the food were excellent. I will be very happy to recommend the Walatta house.
9.8/10Amazing architecture, beautiful pool, incredible food. Thank you so much to Madura, Suranga and team for a great end to our Sri Lanka holiday.
10/10The house is absolutely lovely. Well kept and ideal for a few couples or small family. A short walk down the grounds leads you to a beach. Small but not crowded. Most of the time we were the only people at the beach. The chef will cook all your meals for you and you pay for the ingredients. The two young men working with the chef will spoil you rotten, from bringing you tea to lighting candles in the evenings to setting the table with a different napkin folding every evening! Tuk tuk driver also has a 7 seater vehicle that you can book. If you want to book any excursions, e.g. whale watching, fishing etc, ask the driver. He has some good contacts. Wally the dog is amazing. I am petrified of dogs and always avoid them, but Wally was so tame that I actually ended up patting her many times. Children will love Wally. Overall a very enjoyable and relaxing stay.
10/10We stayed at Walatta House for 2 weeks just before Christmas 2014. Our family group was made up of all ages and everyone loved the place. My husband and I, our 3 children aged 8, 4 and 1, 1 set of grandparents, and a 25 year old niece were all superbly looked after by the ever helpful Suranga and staff. The food Alwis cooked was just delicious (why eat elsewhere?) Jack's office arranged for a lovely lady called Kusum to come and help look after the baby (I thoroughly recommend her for anyone who wants help with their children) her English is excellent, she arrived punctually with a smile every day and looked after the baby better than I can. When our middle son fell ill Kusum whisked us off to the local hospital and helped us to see the right doctor and generally made life much easier. Pirantha - the most amazing Ayurvedic masseur came to us EVERY day - he is fabulous - you must have a treatment - it's very ayuvedic no thrills but you can feel yourself healing over the days. Now the house - it's beautiful it has been built with style and panache and has the exact right balance between eco and luxury. We loved the frogs and birds in the pool, the stunning butterflies, the enormous water monitors, the unceasing crowd of emerald beetles in the evenings. The planting is beautiful you really feel as if you are in a tropical jungle. Anyhows enough - it is wonderful here we cannot rate it more highly. Haven't even mentioned beautiful beach, rock pools, whale watching etc etc but no need to. We'd go back in a flash.
10/10The best thing about Walatta House is the location with a gate leading directly onto one a sequence of beaches which come more protected from the prevailing waves as you head West. The house itself is no overlooked at all, and being raised from the beach, is very private. The amenities are very new, and apart from a couple of temperature control issues with the guest fridge, the facilities and decor are superb, while the private pool is the kind one dreams of when booking an exotic holiday. The Manager / Chef, Alwis, cooks delightful meals and will accompany you shopping if requested. The food shopping is not as cheap as guests might expect, but the excelllent quality of Alwis' food is a lot better value than paying for similar in a commercial restaurant. There are trips that can be taken using Walatta House as a base such as the Whale Watching in Mirissa, but such is the loaction and accommodation it is perhaps more worthwhile taking advantage of Walatta House rather than having an active touring programme. One point of note for families. The rooms are not connected and therefore younger children might feel uncomfortable not having access through a internal hallway to their parents room, access bieng external. That said, at no time during our stay was there anything other than a serendipitous feel to Walatta House, but parents may wish to view the floor plan to assess suitablility for children <10 years old.
10/10This is the most incredibly stylish but laid back house, in the most amazing position above a beautiful empty beach. The house sits in the middle of a beautiful plot of land so is incredibly private, while being pretty close to everything you need in Tangalle. Architecturally, it is superb, the perfect mix of modernism and ethnicity.....without the compromise on luxury that this style can often suffer from. The staff where invisible but ever present, food delicious and so varied, endless pancakes for my children and perfect local curries containing so many dishes we did not know where the begin.
10/10We wanted somewhere all 6 of our far flung our family could stay for our once a year gathering, somewhere that accommodated 'children' ranging from 11 years to 30, and Walatta House fitted the bill perfectly. The 3 bedrooms are very private, the views and beaches spectacular, and Tangalle with its shops and restaurants a short tuk-tuk ride away. It's a place to get away from it all (definitely not for clubbers) which is what we all wanted...but unlike some places where you feel on top of one another, in the words of one of our boys, Walatta allows you to 'be together and in your own space at the same time.' The open plan design breathes and allows you to be 'inside' while actually being outside
