"Nisala Arana"
Nisala
Arana is exactly what the name suggests. It is a tranquil haven, a perfect
place to get away from it all. It is only an hour's drive from Colombo,
2.9 km inland from Galle Road turning off the main road near the Aluthgama
Bridge onto Circular Road. Few would notice Nisala Arana being just behind
Madu Ganga.
Atmosphere
This traditional Sri Lankan Walauwa will set your mind at ease and relax you from the moment you step inside its large gates. Although built in the Dutch period, the place has a wonderfully softer appearance unlike many Dutch period heavy structures.
You're immediately at peace within its walls and its surroundings. The entire house is furnished with traditional or antique furnishings but somehow gives a touch of contemporary sophistication. This luxury Walauwa has six rooms, two in the main house and two adjoining the main house and two more upstairs, right above the garage.
Nisala Arana is not about Jacuzzis, air conditioned compartments, cable TV or fine dining. It is about being truly Sri Lankan….. , not forgetting the simply luxuries life has to offer.
The owners Jill and Kevin have clearly shown their respect and love for traditional Sri Lankan living by the unspoiled and traditional maintenance of this rustic yet luxury hideaway. The hospitality of the owners and the staff will only make your stay complete, living up to the expectations of true Sri Lankan hospitality.
