Ishq Colombo

Stay in one of Colombo's most desirable private homes in the heart of Sri Lanka's capital city. Designed by Channa Daswatta, a protégé of the late architect Geoffrey Bawa, this exquisite four-suite fully staffed villa for up to ten is a sanctuary of intrepid style, indulgence and contemporary sophistication. Tucked into a quiet leafy neighbourhood, the villa provides a tranquil and very exclusive base for experiencing Colombo's attractions, spas, contemporary art galleries, varied dining scene and independent boutiques. Originally a much-loved family home, Ishq Colombo continues to welcome discerning visitors as cherished personal house guests. Every detail in the home has been considered for comfort and convenience so that stays here are as much about soaking up the local culture as about being indulged ‘at home'. Inspiration is everywhere – interior areas are adorned with Moroccan artwork and carpets, rare collectibles and Sri Lankan pettagamas whilst outdoor areas are an exotic vision of mature gardens, terraces and tumbling vines. A discerning team of managers, butlers and attendants staff the villa, with private chef poised to create incredible personalised dining experiences. The epitome of luxury villas in Colombo, ours is equipped with first-class private facilities. After days spent exploring the city, return to the exclusivity of the villa for a balmy dip in the swimming pool and a sensational meal shared with friends, followed by a post-dinner soak in the rooftop jacuzzi.
