About Ishq Talpe
While away your days at oceanfront Ishq Talpe, a lovingly conceived beach villa along Galle's ‘French Riviera' in the island's exotic, palm-fringed southern coast.
Ishq Talpe was conceived by renowned Australian architect Bruce Fell-Smith in the 1990s before undergoing an extensive renovation and upgrade under the guidance of award-winning architect Philip Weeraratne.
Today this private five-suite luxury villa in Galle that sleeps up to 14 guests is a vision of contemporary design, tropical simplicity and oceanic hues. This grand, ocean-facing home marries the indulgencies of a boutique hotel within the exclusive setting of a private villa.
The villa's love affair with the Indian Ocean is obvious as views of this prized coastal setting are framed from living and dining areas, suites, and garden terraces.

The menus favour fish and seafood – all readily available in this coastal area – and private chefs form part of a large discerning team of managers, butlers, and attendants poised to make you feel at home.
No expense has been spared in providing an elevated level of luxury and personalised service. Spend your days surfing, discovering colonial architecture, and cycling through palm-fringed villages using luxurious Ishq Talpe – your home from home beachfront villa in Sri Lanka.
Cool off in the villa's private swimming pool or your jacuzzi and sip sundowners on the terrace before sharing a sensational meal amongst family and friends on the ocean-facing lawn. When the moment comes, retire to your stylish suite for a restful and indulgent sleep.
