Stunning colonial house converted to a boutique hotel. Tranquil garden and small pool, but fine to refresh after a hot day out. Beautiful views, we could see the sea from our room and we had monkeys outside our window watching us shower! The breakfast was delicious and there was plenty of it. Service was excellent too.

Ceylon Olive is a small, super charming, very well located boutique hotel just a handful of minutes from Galle Port and Unawatuna beach.

The delicious breakfast, served on the terrace area outside of the room is also a highlight . Kumudu the owner and host is super kind and attentive. Every minute of our stay was truly special.

The location was superb, we could walk across to the Neptune Bastion, and also to the streets filled with cafe's restaurants, and small boutiques. The staff and the chef were superb and quick to respond to our expectations. Both dinner and breakfast were delightful especially the Sri Lankan cuisine, which the chef explained in great detail. It was like staying in our own home, and a luxury to come home to, after a hot day out in the sun.
