At its heart stands a lovingly restored Walawwa, an ancestral Manor House where history lingers beneath 8-meter ceilings, and sunlight dances across yoga sanctuaries, tranquil ponds, and secretive chill-out nooks. This is more than a villa — it’s a living canvas where art and nature intertwine. Friends and families gather effortlessly, sharing stories in vibrant communal spaces, while secluded alcoves invite quiet reflection. Outside, the estate hums with life — cinnamon plantations perfume the air, peacocks weave through golden paddies, and the hills shimmer with emerald tea. The Space: Sophistication meets soul in this exquisitely reimagined Manor. Thoughtful design, inspired by both heritage and modern artistry, creates a bold symphony of light, texture, and form. Flooded with natural light, cooled by architectural cross-breezes, and embraced by tropical gardens, the estate itself becomes a work of art. Twin kitchens cater to multiple dining spaces, while the estate’s café welcomes each morning with the scent of fresh espresso, promising slow, sunlit breakfasts. Guest Access: Every corner of this villa invites discovery — recline beneath softly whirring fans, dine in artistically curated spaces, or gather on terraces where the sky turns gold at dusk. Whether you seek celebration, connection, or quiet retreat, this soulful home offers it all — culminating in a spectacular yoga and event space overlooking the shimmering 18-meter terrazzo pool. Other Things to Note: The 9 Provinces Boutique Villa is offered exclusively to you and your guests. Your stay includes dedicated cleaning and maintenance staff, along with an in-house chef to prepare unforgettable breakfasts. For lunch and dinner, a private chef can be arranged to curate menus tailored to your tastes — with groceries and beverages pre-stocked upon request. ## Property amenities ### Pool/Spa - Private pool ### Internet - Available in the villa: Internet access ### Parking and transport - Parking on site ### Food and drink - Coffee/tea maker - Cookware, dishware, and utensils - Dishwasher - Microwave - Toaster ### Bedrooms - 7 bedrooms ### Bathroom - 9 bathrooms - Hair dryer ### Entertainment - Stereo ### Outdoor areas - Balcony ### Pets - No pets allowed ### Suitability/Accessibility - Smoke-free property ### Services and conveniences - Housekeeping (limited availability) - Iron/ironing board ### Things to do - Gym ### Safety features - Carbon monoxide detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a carbon monoxide detector on the property; consider bringing a portable detector) - Smoke detector not reported (host has not indicated whether there is a smoke detector on the property) ## Policies ### Check-in Check-in time starts at 4:00 PM ### Check-out Check-out before 10:00 AM ### Special check-in instructions You will receive an email from the host with check-in and check-out instructions ### Pets Pets not allowed ### Children and extra beds Children are welcome ### Events No events allowed ### Smoking Smoking is not permitted ## Important information ### You need to know This property is managed by a professional host.
