I actually felt part of a family."

The location is stunning and I felt very loved and well looked after. I will definitely be returning as soon as I can as I trust the individualised focus and the quality of all the staff."

The House & Grounds at The Sapphire

About an hour’s drive from Colombo and the International Airport, The Sapphire Sri Lanka sits on a beautiful hilltop, across 8 acres of grounds, a mix of jungle and lovingly landscaped tropical gardens.

The main house was the passion project of a Sri Lankan family returning to the island after diplomatic service in London in the 1930s. It is on a scale and of a grand aesthetic not seen anywhere else on the island and has now been painstakingly returned to its original glory.

Surrounding the house and grounds is several hundred acres of jungle and mixed plantation providing us a uniquely private and secluded setting.
