CO Story
Lies in a serene, enchanted haven, ‘Ceylon Olive’ is the product of the Sri Lankan family’s love and passion for offering warm hospitality to everyone they encounter to share that hospitality in a magical, peaceful oasis.
The exact location where the owners were born and nurtured is where Ceylon Olive is built. The ancient Ceylon Olive home was home to five children and a loving mother whose hospitality was a legend among relatives and neighbors. The land and woodland where the villas sit served as the home and playground for the five children who grew up to dream of what this stunning plot of land could hold. With its serene areas beneath the shade of mature trees, the hill with a view of the forest is a natural haven within the city that monkeys call home.
