Property information

The Aathma Colombo House is a family home transformed into an eclectic boutique hotel with 5 rooms & suites, tropical garden and a 20m swimming pool. The House rests on a private peninsula by the banks of the historic Diyawanna Lake in Colombo’s thriving municipal capital, and the 1000m2 property is a stone’s throw from the Beddagana bird sanctuary. We have carefully designed the architecture and furniture. Each piece is created by local artists and tradesman; fusing antique heirlooms with modern techniques. The cartwheels and mandalas are a recurrent theme around the house and pay homage to our Equestrian Nobleman ancestors in pre-colonial South India.
