“A lakeside oasis within striking distance of the city. Bright, spacious suites feature large linen-draped four-posters, a technicolour of fabrics, and traditional art; the best have private hot tubs. Expect quirky luxurious charm, a gorgeous garden pool and fantastic, friendly service.”

Hotel Review
Savour the best of both worlds at Aathma Colombo House: this beautifully decorated bolthole by the lake oozes tranquillity, yet Colombo’s cultural sights, shopping spots and trendy eateries are just a tuk-tuk ride away. Boasting eight sumptuously appointed rooms, brimming with bold patterns, lovely antique pieces and meticulous attention to detail, Aathma is an idyllic artistic retreat. Owner Dushy’s fun, colourful style is underpinned by excellent service. Staff are always on hand to help and guests are instantly put at ease. Enjoy a tasty Sri Lankan breakfast, float around the picturesque pool, hide away in your private reading nook after a relaxing massage, or spot monkeys hopping through the trees on the island across the water, before sinking into your big cosy bed. A real gem!
