ISHQ Villa Talpe
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 5-bedroom villa 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. Meals feature fabulous Sri Lankan and international cuisine highlighting fresh seafood and locally grown produce, whilst the well-stocked games and movie room is an ideal hangout for families and children.

We've just come back from a week at Ishq and it was just incredible. Villa is awesome and the staff were just so lovely. They catered for the three kids in our party so well, the food was stunning and the location could hardly get any better. Perhaps a little more shade in the garden would be ideal, but literally I couldn't recommend this any higher.

Place was nice and clean. View was awesome . Food was delicious. Staff was so helpful and friendly . Ishq Talpe is a sustainable villa in Unawatuna, offering free WiFi, private beach area and pool with a view. Guests can take in the pool views and spend some time on the beach. Boasting a 24-hour front desk, this property also provides guests with a sun terrace. There is free private parking and the property features paid airport shuttle service.

A Dreamy Coastal Haven Beyond Compare!Our recent family getaway to Ishq Talpe was nothing short of a dream come true. This remarkable beachfront villa seamlessly merges the opulence of a boutique hotel with the intimate charm of a private home. Set against the backdrop of the mesmerizing Indian Ocean, Ishq Talpe offered us a haven of tranquility and indulgence.From the moment we arrived, the awe-inspiring ocean views captured our hearts. Each corner of the villa was thoughtfully designed to provide a window into the natural beauty that surrounded us. Whether we were lounging in the living areas, relaxing in our suites, or enjoying meals on the garden terraces, the ocean's allure was ever-present.The service and the attentiveness of the staff could be improved.In summary, Ishq Talpe is a coastal paradise that deserves every accolade. While the service could be improved to match the villa's excellence, the overall experience was truly unforgettable. We would wholeheartedly recommend this hidden gem to everyone seeking a harmonious blend of luxury, natural beauty, and cherished moments with loved ones.

We had a wonderful stay at Ishq. The villa is beautiful with a swimming pool and gardens overlooking the ocean. The rooms are huge and comfortable. The best part was the hospitality provided by the wonderful staff. They catered to our every need. We could not have asked for more. And the food was incredible! Thank you for looking after us. We look forward to coming back again soon.
Location
Talpe is a coastal town on the southwestern tip of Sri Lanka and is in close proximity to UNESCO Galle Dutch Fort. Ishq Talpe sits on a quiet stretch of beach, with an active coral reef that can be explored during the season. Sea turtles congregate to feast in front of the villa in the early hours of the morning and evening. Between November to April, a hundred-meter walk along the beach on either side of the villa offers natural pools for swimming. The best swimmable beach in the area is Wijaya beach, a 4-minute drive (1.2km) from the villa. For surfing enthusiasts, the closest surf breaks include Unawatuna (10-minute drive; 4km), Kabalana (15-minute drive; 9km), Dewata (15-minute drive; 6km) and Weligama (30-minute drive; 20km). Inland Talpe is as diverse as its rich waters and will take you through tea plantations, paddy cultivations, villages, lakes, local markets, and ancient temples. The area also has an interesting selection of bars, restaurants, and cafes.
