Located approximately 2.5km from the amazing, historic cultural hub of Galle Fort, Ceylon Olive is Kumudu’s dream brought to life. He has created a contemporary, relaxing haven for travellers, surrounded by the magic of his childhood home’s garden setting. The name comes from the native “olive” trees that grow in the gardens. Like Ceylon olives, the style of the accommodation is simple yet exotic. A “barefoot luxury” combination of colonial Dutch style and elegant, natural finishes.
