From the owner

Ishq Talpe is a family owned, informal and bespoke luxury villa set in a remarkable location on the quiet coastline of Talpe. The villa takes its name from the Arabic word for love and passion. This beautiful 05-bedroom villa first came to life in the 1990s, a part of the original fabric of the island’s first luxury villas. Today, the villa marries a love for clean design with oceanic hues and brings together all the comforts of a boutique hotel with the exclusivity of a private villa.

Interaction with guest

Southern Sri Lankan hospitality is unique. My team of nine comprising chefs, butlers and villa attendants live close to the villa and are part of this rich heritage. Ishq Talpe therefore is a second home away from home and we hope to embrace you into our coastal family. We cannot wait to have you with us.
