What Our Guests Are Saying
Best vacation experience ever!
We had amazing experience of staying at Ceu Ceylon villa. Everything was perfect: food, service, facilities! The host is very welcoming and extremely nice. Environment is very private, and perfect for a romantic holiday. Amazing cook! We had best food experience at the hotel, and only left the hotel one time for lunch elsewhere (which we regretted 🙂 ).Would definitely recommend everything about this villa. We wish we stayed longer!

Great location and value for money
We stayed at Ceu Ceylon in its first week of operation. We were greeted by friendly and accomodating staff. We occupied one of the rooms upstairs which boasted an amazing view of the ocean. The pool has an inbuilt spa on one side which was an added surprise. Food was fantastic and includes a lot of local fresh seafood. Enjoyed our stay at Ceu Ceylon and will be back !

Beach stay with lagoon and birds
The facilities are excellent and the amenities are very tasteful at Ceu Ceylon. We were made to feel at home by the team and the food was great! A lot of pain and effort is put to make the lawn lush on the beach! So refreshing and therapeutic! Aptly named 'Heaven'!

Posted on Tripadvisor Hubert StallerVerified 10/10 Nicest team possible. Like having your own villa! Food ist Great tooPosted on Tripadvisor Anneke en JoeriVerified ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ An unforgettable stay – a true hidden gem in Sri Lanka! Our family of five had the pleasure of staying at Céu Ceylon, and we can honestly say it was one of the absolute highlights of our trip through Sri Lanka. From the moment we arrived, we felt genuinely welcomed. The villa is beautiful, peaceful, exceptionally clean, and surrounded by nature, creating the perfect place to relax after exploring the country. What truly makes Céu Ceylon special, however, is the incredible team. Every single person went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable. Nothing was ever too much trouble, and everything was done with genuine warmth, kindness, and a smile. Their hospitality made us feel less like guests and more like family. The breakfasts and dinners were absolutely delicious, freshly prepared, and full of flavour. The team also listened carefully to our preferences, especially for our children, and adapted everything with great care and attention. That personal touch meant a lot to us. Communication before and during our stay was excellent. We received great recommendations for activities, restaurants, and local experiences, making our holiday even more enjoyable. If you’re looking for a peaceful, luxurious, and authentic place to stay with exceptional hospitality, look no further than Céu Ceylon. We leave with wonderful memories and hope to return one day. A heartfelt thank you to Mayanthi and the entire team for making our stay so special. We will never forget your kindness. Highly recommended!Posted on Tripadvisor lauraVerified Blissful beauty on a stunning beach Staying in this villa will soothe your soul and help you to appreciate the beauty of the world around you. Every detail of your stay is considered and personalised by an incredible team in the Villa and a seamless management company who respond to you immediately. Ranjith, Raja and Susanthra work together in an unobstrusuve manner to ensure you feel comfortable and cared for- we can not thank them enough for making our visit such a delight. The location is peaceful but connected, the house is stunning but homely and you find yourself in awe of the thought that goes into every process. Our daughter (5 years old) was treated with such care and so many considerations were made to ensure she felt at home. If you are planning a trip any where in Sri Lanka, take the time to stay at Ceu Ceylon- you will not regret it!Posted on Tripadvisor Trail26762633224Verified Wonderful Place My wife and me stay at the moment for two weeks in the CEU Ceylon. It is a wonderful place. The nature is great. All the birds and other animals in the garden and the ocean and the beach are fantastic. We was on a lot of wonderful places and beaches in the world, but this belongs to the top three!!! We decide to come in the off season and was a bit worried about the rain. But until one week not one drop came down. The team of the house is genius and fulfilling all wishes, mostly before you can ask for it. The area around is not so busy what is exactly that we we was looking for. If you need more busy place it is easy to come with a TukTuk or car to any place around. The team is organization everything. We found a new love and we’ll come back! Thanks for the great hospitality to the whole team!Posted on Tripadvisor Tharaka NVerified A real Ceylonese Gem! Located in a quiet corner near the Kalametiya lagoon and right on the beach, Ceu Ceylon is a comfortable distance away from the more touristy Tangalle and all the hustle and bustle. The Villa is an architectural mmasterpiece and its well maintained pool & gardens are a treat in itself. The rooms are very comfortable with all luxuries imaginable being provided. The sea view is really soul soothing. The very attentive staff deserves a special mention too. Its somewhere we would like to get back to, over and over again.Posted on Tripadvisor Jez LVerified An excellent hotel right on the beach We stayed here with friends the staff were extremely helpful nothing was too much trouble We had a lovely evening meal served in the garden I would fully recommend this hotelPosted on Tripadvisor Go46081594205Verified Idyllic quiet getaway Beautiful small hotel, with very friendly staff. Food was spectacular and beautifully presented. Location on beach wonderfulPosted on Tripadvisor Henri SVerified Un endroit parfait pour se poser Nous avons passé deux jours parfait pour ce qu il nous fallait. Après une semaine de road trip, cet endroit était parfait pour nous poser avant de repartir. Un grand merci particulier à l’attention et à la gentillesse des serveurs spécialement avec les enfants.Posted on Tripadvisor Global23300Verified Ceu Ceylon - the boutique hotel like in paradise We spent 4 nights at the boutique hotel Cez Ceylon. It was the most beautiful hotel we have ever stayed in. The owners of the hotel have carefully decorated it down to the last detail. The hotel is located right on the beach, the walk along the beach is magical, you feel like you are in paradise. Every day we received immense care from the friendly staff. And not to mention the food, which was fantastic. We have never eaten anything better. The hotel owner was very helpful in organizing trips to Ella and a safari in Yala. We believe that we will return to this wonderful place someday.Posted on Tripadvisor janssenmarianne5Verified A little paradise We spent a few lovely days in this little paradise. It was the perfect place for us to relax after our trip through Sri Lanka. Beautiful villa, very comfortable room, peaceful garden, very attentive staff, delicious food, dinner under the palm trees with the sound of the waves. We absolutely recommend this place, and we hope to come back some day. Thank you all, for this unforgettable experience!
