Explore Management ServicesOur Story
Built from the ground up in Sri Lanka.
The Ceylon Villas & Co. was founded by Keshan De Mel, a Sri Lankan who grew up watching the island's coastline transform, and who believed that international buyers deserved a partner who understood both worlds.
What began as a single villa project in Kalutara has grown into a full-service platform: sourcing land, designing homes, managing properties, and guiding investors through every stage of ownership. We operate at the intersection of local knowledge and global standards, because that is the only way to do this properly.
Every client relationship is personal. Every project carries our name. That is not a marketing line. It is how we have built our reputation, one villa at a time.
What We Stand For
Company values.
These are not aspirations. They are the standards we hold ourselves to on every project, every day.
Radical Transparency
We share the full picture: land titles, joint-venture structures, projected returns, and risks. No surprises after the contract is signed.
Local Depth
Our team has spent decades building relationships with landowners, architects, and local authorities across Sri Lanka. That access is yours.
Long-Term Thinking
We are not transaction brokers. We stay involved through design, build, and management, because our reputation depends on what happens after the sale.
Personal Accountability
Every project is reviewed by Keshan personally. When you have a question, you reach a decision-maker, not a call centre.
