A private chef and a riad-inspired pool await at this boutique Sri Lanka hotel

An exceptional four-villa boutique hotel set around a leafy courtyard in central Colombo, with colonial-style decor and antiques, personalised dining and Geoffrey Bawa-inspired indoor-outdoor living spaces

Location

The hotel is located 40 minutes from the airport and 90 minutes from Galle. Nearby there are upscale restaurants, cafes and bars, plus the National Museum and, for architecture fans, Geoffrey Bawa’s Residence. We stayed here after flying from the UK into Colombo airport and before heading into the Hill Country.
