01 · In a sentence

Soul Beach Colombo in Dehiwala-Mount Lavinia 10350, open JanuaryDecember.

Soul Beach Colombo occupies a restored colonial-era structure in Dehiwala-Mount Lavinia that originally served as a private residence in the early 1900s.

The building has been thoughtfully transformed into a beachfront restaurant and events venue while preserving its period architecture and character.

With direct access to one of Sri Lanka's most accessible coastal stretches, it functions as both an intimate dining establishment and a full-service wedding destination.

The food serving sizes were perfect and filling. The service was incredibly kind and hospitable. Our server, Syamlee, was a pleasure to interact with (all smiles 🥹 💕). 10/10 would recommend coming here. The view and atmosphere right before sunset is ~chefs kiss~
