Thalpe Walawwa villa is a 75-year-old, beautifully restored Manor House Set amidst a ten-acre Organic coconut estate and is located just a ten minutes drive away from the pristine beaches of Unawatuna and Thalpe. It’s so close you could hear the lapping of the ocean from the garden. The historic Dutch Fort of Galle is only twenty minutes away. The Tranquil setting and unbounded privacy at the Main House, as well as the secluded Garden Villa, helps you relax and unwind from the moment of entering the premises of Thalpe Walawwa.
Thalpe Walawwa has been home to a family of southern aristocracy which took up to business with the turn of the 20th Century and has been the childhood residence of a socialist leader who went on to become a member of the cabinet and the present Governor of Southern Province who was also a former Minister.
It has been visited by several Prime Ministers including Rt.Hon. Dudley Senanayake, Prime Minister four times from 1950 to 1969 and the first woman Prime Minister of the world Madam Sirimavo R.D. Bandaranaike and has been the venue for many a political discussion which considerably altered the direction of Ceylon (Sri Lanka) from time to time. Constructed before the 2nd World War, it has weathered the tests of time and stands beautifully restored and refurbished whilst protecting its traditional architecture of English influence.

The inspiration for these iconic creations stemmed from the desire to create “Expressions of Freedom”, which would present a tangible real-life experience to the multitude of people residing and visiting the capital city of Colombo. Spreading out from the capital, this philosophy of modern city planning and development will embrace the entirety of Sri Lanka, transforming a once ‘island nation’ into one of the most pulsating and dynamic countries in Asia.
As a tropical country blessed with comfortable weather and inviting lush green surroundings, Sri Lanka inherently offers wonderful spaces for good living. The city development plan envisioned under the astute leadership of His Excellency the President, who has articulated the same in the Mahinda Chinthanaya, and ably implemented under the stewardship of the Secretary to the Ministry of Defence and Urban Development attempts to weave in the main different “green spaces” within cities, in order to uplift the standard of city dwelling.
The beautification and development of the city of Colombo and its surroundings commenced immediately after the end of the war. The Sri Lanka Armed Forces contributed in their numbers and tremendous skill under the direction of the professionals of the Urban Development Authority, and rallied together to systematically refurbish the city’s dilapidated structures.
An interesting collection of nooks, crannies and corners adorn the Arcade. From the street lamp to the paved cobblestone and the myriad little wooden adornments decorate the building.
Arcade Independence Square is by far one of the most important refurbishment and development projects undertaken by the Ministry of Defence and the Urban Development Authority.
