A stunning piece of colonial architecture draped in 25 acres of lush greenery, and nestled in Ratnapura in close proximity to the Sri Pada mountain range, the Gileemale Retreat has been refurbished to cleverly combine the old classic charm with modern luxury. William Skeen in his novel Adam’s Peak has described how ‘most hospitably’ he was entertained at the Gileemale Walawwa back in 1870.
