Holiday rentals with a patio in Morakatiyara

Where to start.. In my 10+ years on Airbnb, I have never come across a property like this. The hosts and their kids are just exquisite. They go above and beyond to make you feel at home and cater to your every need. The apartment is brand-new, super clean, and has all the amenities needed at the same time the lush jungle and green surroundings give a very tropical vibe. Working from home cannot be better, more peaceful, and private and with high-speed internet. The family loves to cook a meal for you, so you can keep on working or simply enjoy a relaxing stay. There is also the possibility to rent their scooter or tuk-tuk, make use of the laundry services and enjoy a yoga session on the rooftop deck. It's situated in the middle of the jungle, with monkeys and all kinds of lovely creatures. We love to surf, and with the beach just 5 mins scooter ride away, we felt like we had everything we could dream of. We will be back for sure!:) Thank you Nalaka and family for the wonderful stay!

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Ghazzali's place. Ghazzali was super friendly and helpful. The property is beautifully furnished and we really appreciated the thoughtful decor. We really felt at home, it is definitely not the bare and souless experience you get with a lot of Airbnb properties. We are a family of 5 and the property layout worked really well for us. Everyone had enough space plus the washing machine was a godsend! Everything was spotlessly clean and worked perfectly. Can't recommend Ghazzali and the property enough!

We had an excellent stay at this apartment and appreciated all the thoughtful details. Communication with Dakshan was smooth and supportive from start to finish - he was very helpful, always quick to respond, and offered great assistance whenever we had questions or needed guidance. The apartment itself was in top-notch condition, featuring powerful air conditioning, fast internet, and a fully equipped kitchen that made cooking easy. The spacious layout and separate showers in each room gave everyone plenty of privacy and comfort. Everything was spotlessly clean, and the modern yet cosy feel instantly made us feel at home. Overall, it was a fantastic experience, and we’d gladly stay here again.

Had a lovely and relaxing weekend getaway at Gianluca’s beautiful apartment. The place is just a stone’s throw from amazing seafront restaurants and shops, perfectly located in the heart of Ahangama. It captures the town’s calm and quiet charm, while still being lively and entertaining. We woke up each morning to the gentle sound of ocean waves—such a dream. Gianluca was a fantastic host—friendly, responsive, and full of great local tips that made our stay even better. Thank you for the wonderful experience! We’ll definitely be back and will gladly recommend your place to anyone looking for a beautiful escape

We really loved our stay in the apartment. It's very nicely designed and has everything that's needed. Also, we really enjoyed cooking in the outside kitchen. The place has a nice working area if you ever need to be productive. Eva was a great host. She was there for us all the time and helped us a lot with everything. The beach is very close and several shops aren't far away.

Lovely & calm full apartment with AC, Hot water and mosquito net. The family hosting is lovely, but the apartment is kind of separate with even a rooftop access for smokers. For me, perfectly located away from the busy side of town and yet still close enough to go surfing within 5min by scooter to Hiri Beach. Price for quality wise one of the best apartments I stayed in. Would book again, no doubt.

Superb place for basing yourself whilst visiting Unawatuna, situated in a great location just on the outskirts of Unawatuna. I found Lotus Bloom excellent for facilities which are required for a short stay or long stay. The neighbourhood is situated in a peaceful residential superb. I found all communications with Numan first class and was always very quick to respond to any queries. I would also like to mention Shalika the caretaker who was always very responsive to my needs in a positive manner. I would defiently recommend Lotus Bloom if your thinking of visiting Unawatuna you will not be disappointed.

We loved our stay here. Easy walking distance to the beach, restaurants, and breakfast cafes. Perfect for vacation or remote work. The excellent wifi and access to a washer were also perks. Wonderful stay - would definitely recommend!

We really enjoyed our days in the beautiful house and garden! We loved the space! Only 10 minute walk to the beach and the restaurants but far enough to enjoy the peacefulness of the beautiful garden. Rebecca and here hostess were really flexibel and friendly/ The barking/ protective dogs of the neighbours were scary in the beginning but it turned out the they don’t to anything if you just ignore them.

We had a great stay at Bandula’s villa! Bandula was so helpful and friendly. The place was clean and perfectly located. We would 100% stay here again if we came back to Sri Lanka

A beautifully designed house, directly on the sands of a lovely quiet beach. Perfect for swimming, surfing or snorkeling! Views of the ocean can be seen from every room in the house. Our highlights were afternoon drinks in the pool, and champagne in the hot tub of an evening. The house is immaculate, and the staff are so attentive. The chef is fantastic, best meals we’ve had in Sri Lanka! The house is walking distance to great restaurants, cafes and the very popular ‘Doctors House’. Wish we could have stayed longer.

This place is absolutely incredible—hands down the best spot for sunsets you’ll find anywhere. It’s tucked away from the noise and chaos of the main street, offering peace and quiet, yet it’s just a short walk to great restaurants, shops, and world-class surf. The house itself is modern, spotless, and still feels cozy and welcoming. We honestly wish we had booked an extra week. Anders was a fantastic host, checking in regularly to make sure everything was perfect, and Loku was always available to answer questions and assist with anything we needed. Their hospitality made our stay even more special.

Villa vador is a a very special place, quiet and peaceful except for the lizards and monkeys… we took young children and it was very comfortable and Sasun and his team were very helpful.

The house is gorgeous!! So centered in Hiriketiya it’s actually possible to walk to the beach and to the small village. The house is fully equipped and the bedrooms and bathrooms are amazing. It’s very hard to find a modern and comfortable place like this in Hiriketiya. I would come back any time! Also the Villa manger is very friendly and made for us an earlier check in and later check out possible 🙏🏼🙏🏼

We had a stellar stay at Lilypad. Jamie & Angela made sure to take care of everything from before check-in to after check-out. The villa is beautiful with a lovely pool one can relax by. Everything is spotless clean. Pamod, the housekeeper is super. He's efficient, non-intrusive and helps with anything you ask for. I highly recommend Lilypad!

Very clean place. Bfast was also good. Located across small beach and next to good restaurants. The bedrooms r downstairs and kitchen/living area upstairs which are connected by stairs from outside. Was a good spot to explore the Mirissa area from.

Very nice stay with this lovely family! They are very loving and truely cared about me. They made some food and shared it. Everything what I needed was there. Would highly recommend as a homestay.

Pavi, Bathi and their family and friends are the loveliest of people, always ready to help or offer advice when needed. Our apartment was situated on the 2nd floor and was lovely, bedroom and bathroom bare very large as is the kitchen diner, if there was anything you needed Pavi got it sorted asap, the grounds are immaculate and have a plethora of wildlife wandering the grounds, the use of the swimming pool was a great addition. Polhena itself is situated in a great spot for travelling out from and has a wonderful little beach(it does get busy at weekends). Shops are in walking distance as is the main town of Matara or a short fun tuk tuk ride. Colombo and other places are easily accessible via buses or train, both a fun way to travel. We will be back.

This is our 2nd stay at Sha Villas by Ushaan. Overall, Five-star host and a brilliant apartment! Check in and check out is super easy, and Ushaan is a very communicative and thoughtful host. It is a beautiful , spacious place with great amenities. Immaculately clean and a very convenient location. We would book again for our next visit.

I highly recommend Sanjayas place, it is in a quiet and beautiful area with its own private entrance, walking distance to the local restaurants and beaches. The room was perfect with a great terrace, Sanjaya and his family are wonderful. I hope to be back again.

Good place, good location, respectful and nice hosts.

Our stay couldn’t have been more amazing. The apartment is so beautiful and comfortable. It’s spotless clean, great kitchen facilities and ice cold AC. It’s located right in front of a little local beach where there is a lot of boats docked which is stunning for sunset. The locals around are all so friendly as well. Such quick and helpful communication from the host. Couldn’t recommend enough it’s an absolute steal for the price.

In summary, I highly recommend this place in Unawatuna, Sri Lanka. It was a perfect combination of comfort, tranquility and natural beauty. The upscale amenities, friendly support of the manager and the idyllic location made my stay memorable. Not only did I recover, I made new friends in the region and made unforgettable memories. If you are looking for a place to relax, enjoy the beauty of Sri Lanka and at the same time experience the comfort of a high quality stay, then this accommodation is for you. I can't wait to go back one day and stay in this little paradise again. It was an experience I'll never forget and I'm grateful for the wonderful memories I could make there.

Cleanest place I’ve stayed in Sri Lanka. Location was a bit hard to find via TukTuk but the host was responsive and really helpful. Nice garden surrounding property and very quiet location just a short walk from the beach.
