Colombo, the capital city of Sri Lanka, offers a great, high energy contrast to Ishq’s serene setting and manicured gardens. Colombo’s origins date back to the 16th century, and its port serves as an important harbour in Asia due to its strategic location in the Indian Ocean. The city’s ageing colonial-era buildings combine wonderfully with the rapidly increasing shiny-new high rises.
The villa is centrally located in a quiet neighbourhood, offering easy access to the city’s upscale restaurants, lively bars, healthy food cafes, excellent contemporary art galleries, and shopping centres. Within a 5-kilometer radius of the villa are ancient temples, museums, a golf course, the bustling fort, and the vibrant Pettah bazaar. One of the most enjoyable ways to discover this city is on foot, either by yourself, or with a knowledgeable guide.
Ishq Colombo is a 40-minute drive (35km) from the Bandaranaike International Airport (BIA) and a 2 hour drive (120km) from the historic port city of Galle.

Jetwing Lighthouse features three distinct types of rooms. While the 80 Luxury Rooms spread across our property have been crafted in true tropical modernist style, the three exclusive Themed Suites have been built upon this aesthetic with signature touches of their own. Inspired by ancient travellers who once set foot on Sri Lanka, these unique spaces include the Fa-Hsien Suite, which pays tribute to imperial China, the Ibn-Battuta Suite, which resembles vibrant Morocco, and finally, the Spilbergen Suite, which carries on the legacy of Dutch heritage in our southern capital. Every Themed Suite at Jetwing Lighthouse has been designed with distinct characteristics that resemble the world of each traveller they are named after, yet remain comfortably familiar with the modern luxuries of Bawa’s welcoming architecture.
The Superior Suites elevate our luxury to a class above with two distinct atmospheres found nowhere else.

As added pleasures, both suites feature the lavish choices of a bathtub, Jacuzzi or private plunge pool for a sumptuous soak at any time of the day.
Built with a combination of rich timber, exotic furnishings, and eco-friendly fabrics, every room at our home of Sri Lankan hospitality effortlessly blends traditional and modern indulgence. And as a luxury hotel, Sri Lanka has also given Jetwing Lighthouse the good fortune of wonderfully designed rooms that face both our coastal gardens and the Indian Ocean.

Such luxuries include an elegant bathroom with a bathtub and rain shower enclosure, free Wi-Fi, a 40” satellite television, tea/coffee making facilities with a French press, and many more.
Luxury Rooms – Main Wing
Staying true to the signature aesthetic of Geoffrey Bawa, the main wing of Jetwing Lighthouse features 60 Luxury Rooms seamlessly blending in with our surrounding coastal environment through the luxurious use of rich timber, elegant furnishings, and the natural complements of the sea breeze that blows through our hotel.

Fitted with a king-sized bed and a private balcony or terrace overlooking the Indian Ocean or the coastal gardens, our Luxury Rooms are truly welcoming spaces of tropical luxury on the southern coast of Sri Lanka.

Themed Suites
A signature aesthetic among Galle luxury hotels, the three Themed Suites at Jetwing Lighthouse are exclusive as they are enchanting with their distinct charms and characteristics that welcome you to our coastal home. Drawing inspiration from three ancient travellers to Sri Lanka, each Themed Suite is designed to give you a luxurious experience inspired by imperial China, bustling Morocco, and colonial Holland.

The Ibn-Battuta Suite on the other hand, resembles the mystifying stories of the famed Moroccan adventurer with shades of blue and white that embody the spirit of the seas. And finally, the Spilbergen Suite, is inspired by a legacy of colonial Dutch heritage, which continues to live on with much magnificence around our ancient trading city of Galle.
