Mahasen by Foozoo
Colombo, Sri Lanka
This haven for OutThere travellers offers manageable access to the city, as skillfully as an opportunity to get away from it all. Mahasen by Foozoo is a tiny, LGBTQ+ owned and run family undertaking run by Dinesh Perera and his partner.
Mahasen by Foozoo is a quirky, homely vacuum, filled with art, colourful decor and good vibes. It also has a terrace with views over the roofs of the residential neighbourhood it’s in.

Here at this boutique guesthouse, luxury is all about getting under the skin of the city, from the perspectives of locals.

Even though the courts have declared these laws to be unenforceable, the evidence that the Sri Lankan government refuses to get rid of them is a sad autograph that Sri Lanka is still very much a conservative world where you do need to tread cautiously as an LGBTQ traveler.
We explore the anti-gay laws along with other general directions for LGBTQ travelers i

Colombo, the bustling capital city of Sri Lanka, is gritty, and crowded but super charming. It has all the colorful quirks you'd find in India but with a more calming atmosphere. We felt like we were receiving a spiritual cleansing just by walking down the streets!
Colombo is bursting with Buddhist temples, markets, and smiling Sri Lankan faces. Every corner is steeped in history and culture. We found ourselves torn over what task to tackle next, what to see, what story to unravel, who to speak to, and where to eat. It never gets dull for a moment!
As tourists with passing interests in history, it more than satisfied our needs. Everything from the museums to the many temples helped unravel the story of this superb nation. As gay travelers, we still felt relatively comfortable being ourselves (more about this below!) and found sparks of queerness in the city tapestry. Whether it be in the
