Colombo's Most Extraordinary Sky Mansions Await the World's Most Discerning Residents
Introducing South Asia's first collection of ultra-luxury Sky Mansions, where 180-degree panoramic ocean views meet YOO Inspired by Starck design excellence in the heart of Colombo's prestigious oceanfront.
Sapphire Residences Colombo represents a defining moment in South Asian luxury living. Rising 50 floors above the capital's most coveted oceanfront location on Galle Face, this iconic development introduces the revolutionary concept of Sky Mansions to the region. Each of the 132 residences is a masterpiece of space and sophistication, designed by the legendary YOO, inspired by Philippe Starck, with architecture by the internationally acclaimed Gensler.
Adjacent to the newly opened ITC Ratnadipa, a Luxury Collection Hotel, these extraordinary homes benefit from an enviable position between the infinite horizons of the Indian Ocean and the serene waters of Beira Lake. The tower's innovative triangular design maximises natural light, optimises airflow, and frames uninterrupted panoramic vistas that will remain forever protected. This is vertical living reimagined for those who have ascended to the heights of success and deserve the stylish, carefree living and profound serenity that only Sapphire Residences can offer.
Philippe Starck's vision for Sapphire Residences transcends conventional luxury, creating living spaces that exist at the intersection of art, comfort, and aspiration. The interiors are a testament to his genius for combining elements from past and future, crafting environments that feel simultaneously timeless and avant-garde. Every surface, every detail has been considered with meticulous care, from the premium brand fixtures to the bespoke finishes that define each residence as a unique sanctuary in the sky.
The architecture itself is a sculptural achievement. The tower's striking triangular form is not merely aesthetic but purposeful, designed to capture the best of Sri Lanka's tropical climate while framing views that stretch to the horizon. Floor-to-ceiling windows dissolve the boundaries between interior and exterior, while exceptionally high ceilings create an atmosphere of grandeur and freedom. This is living elevated to its highest form, where every morning brings the spectacle of sunrise over the Indian Ocean, and every evening paints the sky in colours that defy description. Sapphire Residences is where dreams of ultimate luxury find their architectural expression.
