Crafting Timeless Spaces. Managing with Care.

Caelum Estates is a boutique property development and management company that specialises in designing, building, and managing bungalows and villas on Sri Lanka’s most picturesque estates. From concept to completion—and beyond—we offer end-to-end services that bring luxury living into harmony with nature.

Our expertise doesn’t end with construction. We also manage villas for tourism, whether built by us or by others, handling everything from guest experiences to digital marketing. Additionally, our estate management arm focuses exclusively on tea and cinnamon estates, ensuring productive, sustainable operations that honour the land and its legacy.

At the heart of Caelum Estates is our Managing Director, Nilka Dabare—a veteran hotelier and serial entrepreneur with over two decades of experience in hospitality and tourism. Nilka brings a unique blend of industry insight, entrepreneurial spirit, and design sensibility that shapes every project we undertake. His passion for creating experiences, not just spaces, drives our commitment to excellence.

We believe in lasting value—whether it’s a villa that stands the test of time or an estate that continues to thrive under our care. With a personalised, hands-on approach, we partner with landowners, investors, and families to create spaces that are not only beautiful, but deeply purposeful.
