Ishq Talpe is a family owned, informal and bespoke luxury villa set in a remarkable location on the quiet coastline of Talpe (Galle). This beautiful 5-bedroom villa that could accommodate a maximum of 14 guests (adults and children), first came to life in the 1990s, a part of the original fabric of the island’s first luxury villas designed by renowned architect, the late Bruce Fell-Smith before undergoing an extensive renovation and upgrade under the guidance of award-winning architect Philip Weeraratne. Today, the villa marries a love for clean design with oceanic hues and brings together all the comforts of a boutique hotel with the privacy and exclusivity of a private villa. Expect characteristics of colonial Dutch heritage, high ceilings, airy spaces in suites and common areas, large king-sized beds for deep slumbers, and low-slung chairs by the courtyard pool for sunbathing. Therapeutic evening massages on the lawn and lazy swims are the perfect activity for taking in the gorgeous Indian Ocean sunsets.
Ishq Talpe is a full-service villa, with 9 staff on-site including a villa manager, chefs, butlers and housekeepers. The villa has a 12m pool, jacuzzi, library and entertainment room with Satellite TV, PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch, board games, card games, unlimited access to Netlfix and Apple TV.
