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 Sri Lankan 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.

In a dynamic effort to combat deforestation and bolster environmental conservation, we proudly present to you, the ‘Brown Roots’ Project, launched on World Environment Day, June 5th, 2017, undertaken in collaboration with Browns Tours. Working closely with relevant authorities and organizations, including Sri Lanka Forest Reserves, we stand united in preserving and enriching the beauty of our island home for generations to come.
Our commitment:
As part of our unwavering dedication, we have pledged to plant a tree for every traveler who embarks on a journey with us, and since its inception, the ‘Brown Roots’ project has already seen the planting of over 3000 trees in the central province of Sri Lanka by the end of 2018.
Our resolve remains resolute, and with your invaluable support, we endeavour to further elevate this number in the years ahead. Join us in nurturing the very roots of nature’s grandeur.
