Hello, I’m Céline!
Welcoming people has always been at the heart of what I do. Since 2016, I’ve been devoted to creating warm and inspiring spaces for travelers from around the world. My journey began in Sri Lanka, where I managed my own guesthouse for five years in a region beloved by surfers, yoga enthusiasts, and nature lovers. There, I discovered the profound joy of connecting with people from different backgrounds and offering them a place where they could truly feel at home.
After this enriching chapter, I spent most of my time in France, while keeping a close bond with Portugal. I would often return here, already nurturing the idea of reopening a guesthouse one day.
That dream eventually led me back, and in 2025 I began a new adventure with Arrifana Pines.
Since then, I’ve been fully dedicated to this project, where I continue to share my passion for hospitality and meaningful experiences. For me, hosting is not only about providing a place to stay.
It’s about creating an atmosphere where people can feel comfortable, recharge, and connect. Connect with the beauty around them, with one another, and sometimes even with themselves. My wish is that every guest leaves feeling inspired, at ease, and as if they’ve found a little piece of home away from home.
Céline Ruiz & my beloved dog, Mirissa
