Studio Olive – Creative Villa Stay & Workshops in Ahangama

Studio Olive is what happens when too many people kept asking us for workshop spots… so we opened a second creative space inside a 100-year-old Sri Lankan villa in Ahangama.

Created by Olive Yu Jewellery, Studio Olive is part boutique guesthouse, part hands-on workshop studio, and part social creative hub. Guests can stay in our artist courtyard villa while joining daily jewellery making workshops, art classes, and creative experiences designed for travellers who want to do more than just relax by the beach.

For years our workshops have been fully booked daily, with visitors asking for more sessions, longer courses, and somewhere they could stay while creating. Studio Olive is our answer. A place where accommodation and experiences come together in one space.

Studio Olive is designed for curious travellers, artists, and makers looking for unique things to do in Ahangama. While each guest has the privacy of their own room, the villa is intentionally social. Expect creative energy, shared spaces, workshops running during the day, and opportunities to meet like-minded travellers from around the world.

If you are looking for a quiet and secluded hotel stay, Studio Olive may not be the right fit. But if you want a creative villa stay in Ahangama where you can learn jewellery making, join art workshops, and connect with people through craft, you will feel right at home.
