The southern coast of Sri Lanka has always been my favourite escape – a place where I could slow down, enjoy a quiet morning by the ocean, and feel completely at ease. Some of my best moments were spent in hidden villas by the shore, sipping coffee and feeling completely at ease. Stuck at home, longing for those sun-drenched mornings and the effortless joy of discovering new places, I realised how much travel meant to me – not just as an experience, but as a way of life. That longing turned into inspiration, and from it, Ceylon Haven was born—a way to bring that same feeling of warmth, wonder, and belonging to others, even when the world stood still.
