Somar House (Pvt) Ltd is part of a distinguished group specializing in the ownership and management of luxury villas across the island. Known collectively as Ishq Luxury Villas, the portfolio includes Ishq Colombo, Ishq Talpe, Highgrove Estate by Ishq, and Writer’s Lodge by Ishq.

Originally the home of Mr. Hanif Yusoof and his family, the villa was born out of a passion to share the epitome of luxury, the warmth of a family home and a destination that evokes a feeling of home. The name, ‘Ishq’ stems from the Arabic term for divine love. This serves as our inspiration to continually bring you experiences that leave lasting impressions. We pay homage to Sri Lanka’s rich history with the balanced auras of Dutch and English heritage lingering about at every nook and cranny. From the luxurious brushed brass fittings to the elegantly landscaped garden, our attention to detail is evident in the design of the villa; taking you back to the old-world charm of the colonial era while our delightfully intricate details offer the most unique luxury experience in Colombo.

Colombo is the capital city of Sri Lanka. Ishq Colombo is a 45-minute drive away from the Bandaranaike International Airport (BIA). The villa is centrally located in a quiet neighbourhood, offering easy access to Colombo’s lively restaurants, bars and shopping centres. Within a 5-kilometer radius of the villa are art galleries, museums, a golf course, memorials and other iconic landmarks.
