A unique stay, steps away from the Galle Fort
Featuring 4 bedrooms and bathrooms, No. 77 Leyn Baan is a bastion of colonial architecture. Located just 5 steps away from the ramparts of the Galle Fort (one of Sri Lanka's UNESCO World Heritage Sites), this mansion is a work of art. Fashioned from a 120-year-old villa, Leyn Baan is a striking contrast of old and new with a personality all of its own.
Wind down in the private pool after a day out exploring the fort or enjoy the scenic views of the ocean and clock tower from the rooftop.

Enjoy a Tropical Christmas in Sri Lanka
Enjoy a tropical Christmas amidst Sri Lanka's inviting southern beaches and incredibly scenic hillside.
December is a prime time to visit the island - arguably the ideal time of year in terms of weather as it is a few degrees cooler than usual and the beaches along the western and southern coastlines are at their best.

Ishq | Tour Colombo with Sri Lanka In Style
Planning on adding a few nights in Colombo to your stay? Sri Lanka's lively commercial capital offers an eclectic mix of old and new; Ishq Colombo, with its tasteful blend of old-world charm and contemporary comforts, is the perfect hideaway in the heart of the city.
What we really love about Ishq is the architecture and interior decor, that transports you to a different time and place, away from the hustle and bustle of modern-day Colombo.
Retreat to a quiet neighbourhood that is a stone's throw away from many of the city’s upscale restaurants, bars, art galleries and shopping centres. Venture further and within a 5-km radius, you will find ancient temples, museums, a golf course, the bustling fort, and the vibrant Pettah bazaar.
This luxury villa is one of the newest that we've partnered with to offer you a memorable escape in Colombo.
Designed by leading architect Channa Daswatte (a protégé of celebrated Sri Lankan architect Geoffrey Bawa), Ishq draws on English and Dutch colonial architecture and decor to create an inviting masterpiece that takes full advantage of lush gardens and natural light.
If you're interested in architecture, let us know and we'll arrange a tour of Geoffrey Bawa's old residence, Number 11, which is just a hop, skip and jump away.
However, this villa is a museum in and of itself, featuring a lovely collection of private artwork and books that contains many original and rare works.
Curl up with a book in one of the cosy nooks overlooking the garden and you'll forget that you're in 21st-century urban Colombo. Ishq has a pool as well, perfect to cool off in after a day out in the city.

Yala National Park
Thinking of exploring Yala, Sri Lanka's second-largest and most frequented national park? While everyone might visit the same park, not all experiences are equal. An exclusive safari requires tranquillity and savvy so that you can enjoy glimpses of wildlife, undisturbed.
For us, it's about more than just getting you to the park. Here's the level of detail we go into so that you can safari #instyle from start to finish:
1️⃣ We time your visit during the least crowded times possible within your desired travel window.
2️⃣ We know that where you enter the park, makes all the difference.
Yala National Park has 5 blocks, but Block 1 is by far the most popular thanks to a higher leopard density and fewer vehicle-shy wildlife.
But the real secret lies in the gates and knowing which one is the right fit for you. There are two ways to access Block 1: the Pallatupana Entrance or Gate 1 and the Katagamuwa Entrance or Gate 2.
Gate 1 tends to be the more popularly used of the two, but Gate 2 holds its own with equally good yet less frequented trails. Furthermore, one is within proximity to luxury hotels while the other is more easily accessible from luxury camping-style accommodation options. Depending on whether you prefer a luxe escape or one that lets you immerse yourself more deeply in the wilderness, we organise your experience accordingly.
3️⃣ We realise that not all 🐆🦚 sightings are made equal, and work to position you for the better ones.
What's the point of being rushed to congested zones in the park based on reported sightings of elusive wildlife, if all you can see is the flash of a tail behind another jeep?
We work with your safari guide to ensure that you get to enjoy the pleasure of unhurried and organic wildlife sightings. We place you in control of your adventure inside Yala National Park - your knowledgeable guide is always ready to help you explore quieter trails that afford similar opportunities.

Digital Detox at Gal Oya Lodge & National Park
Opt for a road less travelled and journey east to Gal Oya, one of Sri Lanka's lesser-known national parks. It is unique in that it is the only one in the country that you can explore by boat. Time your foray into the park right and you will be able to traverse the river along with the 🐘 elephants as they swim from one island to another.
The best place to stay when you visit Gal Oya National Park is undoubtedly Gal Oya Lodge. Situated on the fringes of the park, this eco-friendly lodge consists of a handful of modern and luxurious bungalows furnished with all the amenities you might require.
During your stay, seize the opportunity to fall off the grid and completely unplug - the nearest cell phone tower is one village over 😉!
