Ishq Colombo

Staying at Ishq Colombo is like stepping into a living piece of Sri Lankan architectural history. This exquisite boutique residence was once the home of a prominent local family and has been transformed into a design lover’s dream. It was crafted by an understudy of the legendary architect Geoffrey Bawa, and you can feel that heritage in every detail. With just four impeccably designed rooms, Ishq Colombo is a feast for the eyes. Every corner is a blend of contemporary elegance and timeless charm. The service here is beyond exceptional—personal, thoughtful, and attentive, thanks especially to Asanga, who went out of his way to make my stay effortless and memorable. And let’s talk about breakfast: it was nothing short of incredible. From the freshest local fruits to the rich Sri Lankan curd, perfectly brewed tea, and beautifully prepared eggs, every morning felt like a celebration of flavor and hospitality. If you’re looking for a place that combines rich history, exquisite design, and a level of service that makes you feel genuinely at home, Ishq Colombo is it. This is a place I’d return to in a heartbeat.

A one of a kind experience. An amazing oasis of a villa in a bustling area of Colombo. Once you go through the gate, it is like another world - almost having a beautiful private villa and staff to yourself. The team, service and food were all truly first class. The design and furnishings are beautiful. We only had one night there but wished it had been more. A memorable stay.

Ishq Colombo will always be a home for me. I stayed there 3 times and there isn't another place I could choose to stay in, in Colombo. Everything is perfect about it: architecture and garden, charming decoration, immaculately clean, amazing food, and a superb staff, special mention to Asanga dnd Dilanka, who will make anything to make you feel at home and part of the place. The suites are particularly amazing. There aren´t enough words to describe it. Ishq is a gem and an oasis in the most charming and peaceful neighborhood of Colombo.

Our stay at Ishq Villa Colombo was truly unforgettable. We felt completely at home from the moment we arrived. The villa is a true gem—an elegant, tranquil oasis tucked away in the heart of the city. Despite the hustle and bustle of Colombo, the atmosphere inside is calm, serene, and beautifully curated. The spaces are open, airy, and tastefully decorated with a refined sense of style that immediately puts you at ease. As a family, we especially appreciated how spacious and welcoming everything felt. There was plenty of room for us to relax, both together and individually. The staff were outstanding—genuinely warm, attentive, and always going the extra mile to make sure we were comfortable. Their care and kindness made our stay feel personal and memorable. Dinner at the villa was another highlight. The food was absolutely delicious—flavorful, fresh, and beautifully prepared. We can wholeheartedly recommend Ishq Villa to anyone—whether you’re a couple or a family. It’s a place that combines thoughtful luxury with heartfelt hospitality.
