Maison moderne construite avec des ressources sri-lankaises durables et écologiques, la Walatta House est une villa de bord de mer située à Tangalle, dotée de trois chambres, d'un salon et d'une salle à manger ouverts, d'une piscine à débordement et de vastes jardins. Cette structure en béton, avec ses murs apparents polis, son mobilier élégant, ses murs en verre dans les chambres et ses équipements modernes, est unique en son genre et se distingue de toutes les autres villas de plage du Sri Lanka. Les jardins sont luxuriants avec des plantes et de nombreux palmiers et vous pouvez passer des heures à vous promener pour explorer les lieux. La beauté de cette villa réside dans sa capacité à combiner l'extérieur et l'intérieur pour que vous puissiez profiter pleinement des deux mondes.
À l'arrière de la propriété, pour un séjour plus privé et exclusif, se trouvent les trois chambres luxueuses de Walatta House. La première chambre est la chambre principale qui donne sur la piscine par des portes vitrées qui servent également de fenêtres pour une vue magnifique. La chambre est climatisée et meublée d'un lit king size.
Les deux autres chambres climatisées sont situées l'une après l'autre derrière la chambre principale et sont équipées d'un lit queen et de lits simples. Les chambres présentent un design plus contemporain avec un décor minimal, des murs en briques apparentes, des vues sur des espaces verts luxuriants et un éclairage tamisé pour un cadre romantique. Chaque chambre dispose d'une salle de bains privative avec douche extérieure et autres équipements.

Située sur un terrain de plusieurs hectares, la Walatta House dispose d'une superbe piscine à débordement de 15 mètres de long qui fait face à d'interminables parcelles de jardins verdoyants. Une terrasse en bois relie le salon à la piscine et, juste à côté, vous trouverez des chaises longues où vous pourrez vous détendre, appliquer de la crème solaire et faire une sieste. Les jardins regorgent de palmiers chevronnés qui forment un bosquet offrant de l'ombre et une ambiance plus fraîche.
La piscine à débordement est l'endroit idéal d'où vous pourrez profiter d'une vue imprenable sur l'océan Indien, éblouissant sous le soleil tropical. Les jardins sont équipés d'une salle à manger en plein air pour que vous puissiez prendre votre petit déjeuner dans un cadre magnifique.
Dans une optique de développement durable, Walatta House a utilisé des matériaux naturels d'origine locale pour construire la propriété, comme en témoignent les murs en béton, le plafond en bois et les plantes à l'intérieur de l'espace de vie. Le salon ouvert est sans aucun doute l'endroit idéal pour se détendre, car il permet de profiter de la vue tout en se prélassant sur les canapés et les chaises confortables. Des fleurs épanouies servent de décor au salon, qui mène à une autre pièce en forme d'anse, avec des sièges en L et un bureau de travail.
La salle à manger fait partie de ce même espace, avec une table de huit places dans le coin, entourée de plantes et d'arbres délicieux qui créent un cadre verdoyant et luxuriant. Un bar à petit-déjeuner en pierre avec des tabourets hauts se dresse également face à la vue sur l'océan pour un repas rapide ou des boissons. L'immense terrain qui entoure la villa vous occupera des heures durant. La cuisine se trouve derrière le bar du petit-déjeuner et dispose de nombreux équipements. Elle est construite selon le même modèle rustique en pierre.
Tout ce que vous pouvez demander est disponible à la Walatta House. Le personnel amical est là pour répondre à toutes vos questions et s'assurer que la villa reste propre tout au long de votre séjour. Pour la blanchisserie, les massages, les voitures, etc., vous pouvez demander au personnel de faire des réservations, car ces services sont facturés en supplément. Un chef cuisinier peut être nommé sur demande pour aider à préparer les repas quotidiens.
En séjournant au Walatta House, vous aurez une chance spectaculaire de vous débarrasser de tous vos soucis. Vous n'aurez qu'à vous promener le long d'une plage presque privée à votre porte, à profiter d'un ciel ensoleillé comme vous n'en avez jamais vu, et à commencer à adopter un style de vie tropical. Tangalle est proche de lieux populaires comme Mirissa et Weligama, où vous pourrez pratiquer le surf, observer les baleines et les dauphins et même visiter les écloseries de tortues.
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.
10/10Walatta House exceeded all expectations.The house was in a superb position,set in a lovely garden which was only minutes away from a perfect beach.We had been worried about swimming in the sea having read that many beaches are not safe but that was not the case at Walatta's beach.Fantastic snorkelling.The pool was also great for swimming,kept in perfect condition by the attentive Suranja. The house was extremely comfortable,fresh flowers in the rooms,crisp white linen.Perfect. Madura was not only a wonderful cook but also efficient and helpful when helping plan our trips.Sorting transport and even organising a packed breakfast when we left at 4.30 for a whale watching trip.The food really was sensational with Madura keen to teach myself and our 4 children how to recreate a few of his amazing dishes. It really was the perfect holiday,Madura and his team were so kind and friendly-huge thanks to them all.
9.4/10Villa was absolutely fabulous. Stunning location and views, really comfortable lounging areas and bedrooms, and of course the highlight was the wonderful service and food from Madhura and team. Make sure you try the lobster! Thanks to all for a very memorable holiday.
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.
10/10An amazing 6 days in Walatta House that we didn't want to leave! Alwis is a fantastic chef and I would not bother eating out anywhere else as the meals we had out of the villa were substandard in comparison to his cooking. Suranga and the house boys are very respectful of our request for privacy while using the pool and the house was spotless and cleaned really well. My only criticism is that there must be signage put on the main road as it is very hard to find the house the first time you go there. Amazing location with a short walk through the property to reach the beach. However, beware that this beach is not suitable for swimming due to high undertow and rips. Lovely for walks on the beach and please take Wally (house dog) as she loves a good run along the beach and playing with the ball. Wish that we could have stayed longer and we definitely want to come back again soon. Highly recommend this for all others.
10/10Talk about a getaway. Work stress was quickly forgotten in this rustic yet luxurious villa. It was like survivor, with benefits. Diving into the pool or taking walks on the beach whenever we felt like it, in between excellent meals cooked by the staff. The breeze was amazing and while some of my friends enjoyed sleeping with just the natural wind, I was grateful for the air-conditioner in the bedroom (creature of habit). Getting a chance to take the sea plane was an added bonus as well as the lovely gem shop down the road!
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
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.
10/10We 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.
