Sōmar - 2-Bedroom Villa in Tropical Oasis
Lovely, peaceful place close to the beach. Harriëtte was super responsive with every request and went above and beyond as a host. We particularly liked the recommendations on all the best local beaches and restaurants. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. Highlight of the apartment for us was the private outdoor shower. The decor throughout the apartment has been carefully thought out and fits its calm surroundings. Thanks again.

Ventana Mirissa-Private Villa in Mirissa Sri Lanka
Hidden gem in Marissa and Prasith and his staff were amazing hosts during our stay at Ventana Marissa

Stunning luxury private villa with unique sea view
We recently stayed at this stunning villa and couldn’t be more impressed. Waking up to this breathtaking view every morning was such a pleasure The villa itself was very stylish, and has all the necessities for a good stay, including even some funniest like boarding games :) It is very good located closento Welligama and Ahangama (5-10 minutes drive with Tuk Tuk), right close to the outstanding restaurant the Cliff. The host was very responsive and helpful with all our questions We had a very good time there and would definitely like to come back and soak this energy again

Zenstay Villa Weligama+ Swimming pool
we loved our stay here, Nidesh was responsive and flexible. The pool was amazing and it was cleaned every morning. great location, just a tuktuk away from the beach

Claire Villa | Luxury Villa & Infinity Pool
We stayed for a week and loved every minute! The location is perfect, peaceful and private but only a short Tuktuk ride from Ahangama town. It’s not traditional self-catering, so no kitchen access but the wonderful staff are on hand to make you whatever you like, no request too much! We had our own private firework display and the team installed full length mirrors for us when we realised there wasn’t one. Honestly the team are lovely, discreet but always there to help. The villa isn’t in the heart of town, but only 5 mins Tuktuk or 30 min walk, which for us on a family holiday was perfect, quiet in the evenings, but so easy to go to the lively bars and restaurants in town. We loved it here! Thank you so much to all the team

Lanka Beach Villa - Luxury Beach Villa, pool
Located in Rekawa beach (near Ranna) about 10km from Tangalle, this isolated, oceanfront villa is the perfect getaway - I can't recommend it enough! The pictures do not do this place justice. Hans was responsive and helpful. The house staff were attentive and hospitable and we took advantage of paying for local food and having the staff cook for us during our three night stay - an incredible value based on local restaurant prices (and yummy too!). There is a restaurant closeby if you prefer that. The house is very large; the back yard and pool area spectacular; and the beach access great. You can also have the staff schedule multiple day trips to surrounding areas so this is a great base for exploring the southern coast. Highly recommended!

Madiha Garden: luxury villa & pool next to beach
What can I say, it was the best holiday I can remember…! The place is a dream: beautiful house with large and comfortable spaces decorated with a great taste, with a lovely garden and pool, friendly and helpful staff. Less than 5 mins walk from the nearby beach, where we enjoyed during several days looking at baby turtles reaching the sea. Nice restaurants and cafes (and even a nice small train station) at walking distance. Very family/children friendly place and area! We look forward to visiting again!

Absolute Beach Front Villa with Pool.
We really enjoyed our stay at Bianca's place. Everything was so easy and the place is amazing. Bianca and her team were very good communicators and responsive. We spent a lot of time walking on the beach and swimming in the pool and exploring the area along the coast, which was exactly what we wanted (and one big highlight of our trip!) The breakfast provided was great - fresh fruit especially! And we also used the laundry here, which was easy and really nice. We tried many of the restaurants nearby and had a good experience - delicious food! We would love to come back here on our next visit to Sri Lanka. High recommend!

Tarya - Beach Front Villa
We had a truly beautiful and relaxing stay. Kavinda our host went above and beyond for us, and the chef’s cooking was absolutely perfect—they even shopped for all the ingredients! The villa’s rustic charm made it feel extra special. Though the beach hut had some weather damage, Buddika let us know in advance and kindly offered a BBQ, which was such a thoughtful touch. Sadly, we were involved in a serious accident on our way to the airport, but even from abroad, Buddika supported us incredibly—liaising with Etihad and sending her husband to visit us. Despite the unfortunate end, our stay was truly wonderful, and we highly recommend it.

SOUL HOUSE - private chef, yoga space + staff
Our stay at the Soulhouse was incredibly wonderful. We had an unforgettable time. Elspeth is an excellent hostess. She looked after our well-being at all times and fulfilled our wishes to the best of her ability (eg. Pilates with Rosie :)) The staff in the house was also very obliging and looked after us very well. The breakfast was extensive and we were able to decide on a daily basis with the cook. We also requested a large BBQ, which was a complete success. The prawns, crabs and fish were of the best quality and bought directly from the market. Great importance is attached to the ambience, the furnishings and the cleanliness. The house is in the forest and on one side you look out over a large field. We saw countless animals. However, you need a car to visit the village or the beach, as the house is a little out of the way. This was not a problem for us. We really enjoyed the vibe. We all felt very comfortable and would come back in a heartbeat.

Villa Sisila on Talduwa Island
Clare’s place was everything & more than what we were expecting. The villa is absolutely beautiful, set in the most peaceful & tranquil surroundings. Nuwan’s cooking and hosting was the cherry on the top of our experience. Tushara also really looked after us. We were able to organise 3 private yoga classes & a massage - personal highlights of my stay at the villa. All of the above meant that whenever we left the villa, we wanted to get back straight away to our private paradise even though Ahangama is a great area to visit. Highly recommend staying and experiencing the beauty of Villa Sisila!!

Talaramba Reef - Villa Sulanga
Fantastic stay at Talaramba Reef! We had a large family gathering for 3 nights (9 adults and 5 children) and booked both villas. The villas were beautiful, thoughtfully decorated, very comfortable, with lovely and immaculately kept grounds. The place was very spacious and it felt very relaxing, and the pools were very pleasant. Ranjith and his team were incredible. They were kind, friendly and went out of their way to make sure we had a memorable stay, including helping to organize a party and putting up a lovely banner. The food was also exceptional and great value for money. We cannot recommend this place enough!

KÖ | 4 Bedroom A/C Villa | Hiriketiya Beach
We stayed in Hiriketiya for a few days in early April and had an amazing time in the area. Siri the housekeeper really made our stay, he was amazing helping us with any house questions we had as well as giving us recommendations in the area and telling us fun facts about Hiriketiya.

Bayagima
We had a great time at this beautiful villa. It’s absolutely stunning and well located to the heart of Ahangama. Tim was extremely helpful and responsive. The staff were not overhearing and left us to get on with things. The breakfasts were delicious and portions generous. One morning we had the Sri Lankan breakfast and the next the international breakfast with delicious butter milk pancakes. Dinner was also great and the chef worked hard to provide a variety as everyone ordered something different. Thanks Gamunu and co we enjoyed our time at the villa.

The Palm Lanka
We loved our stay at the Palm Lanka. Beautifully designed & decorated house, well located near beach & cafes. Suresh and Manel were the highlight, making us feel so welcome & comfortable. The meals - breakfasts & dinners - were amongst the best we have had in Sri Lanka & Suresh was extremely helpful with any requests we made. Highly recommend!

The Mugatiya: Ahangama's Heritage Luxury Villa
The Mugatiya is a very special place. We stayed with family friends for a week and had the holiday of a lifetime. Ahangama is a chilled place with some very cool bars and restaurants here and there. I wouldn't say that the beach is walkable due to kids and the heat but tuktuks are easily arranged.

Kumbura family villa, pool, cook, lovely views
We had a lovely, relaxing stay at Kumbura. The house is well designed and spacious, with everything we needed. The team was incredible and looked after us with such warmth and care. Highly recommended!

Opulent Luxury Room with Private Pool in Mirissa
This awesome villa in Weligama is super close to Mirissa Beach! It’s perfect for two people, with a private pool and just a 5-minute drive to all the hot spots in Mirissa. Kasun, the host, is fantastic, and the breakfast is killer, packed with the freshest and tastiest fruits.

Charming One-Bedroom Villa with Private Pool 2
We loved our stay at Telo! The villa was beautiful and the perfect little haven to come back to in between exploring Ahangama and its surrounding areas. It was exactly as described in the photos. It’s a little bit away from the main area of ahangama which we really loved as it meant it was nice and peaceful at night. We rented a scooter to get around and would highly recommend. The team onsite were super helpful in organising everything for us too! We’ll hopefully be back! :)

Beautiful villa with pool 70m from Mawella beach
The Green House is a little oasis of calm from the hustle and bustle of the busier parts of Sri Lanka. Immaculately presented with three great bedrooms with ensuite shower rooms, the house is clean and modern. All the staff involved in looking after us and the house were also a real delight - so accommodating and helpful in every aspect. a short walk to a wonderful beach which the kids loved made this one of the best places that we stayed in during our whole trip. Thank you everyone at The Green House!

Cozy 4 Bedroomed Villa with Pool
Anjalee's villa was spectacular, well thought out and immaculate. The landscaping was surreal! The villa came with very kind and attentive staff members and the adorable Mari the dog. Highly recommended and one of the best Airbnb's I have stayed in, without a doubt!

Eliya Villa -Direct Beach access to Madiha beach
I am a solo traveller and had all the best intentions of travelling Sri Lanka. Having fell in love with the coast, I decided to change plan and book a villa for a few days. Wow, blown away by this place. Exactly like the photos, if not better. The beach is so private and love that you can see the waves crashing from your bed/outside dining area. Very well thought out. What made this extra special was the service levels from Charith, what a top guy! Nothing was too much trouble. Very responsive and attentive but always respecting privacy. Thank you for making me feel at home and so well looked after. Outside the villa, lots of lovely cafes and restaurants within walking distance. My first time in Sri Lanka but I’ll defiantly return. Loved the diverse landscapes, food and most of all the people.

Tea House Villa
We had an awesome time at Rakis. the property was everything we hoped for from the beautiful pool to spacious rooms. It was private and cosy . The chef & all staff were friendly and accomadating ! we will be back

Athmaya Villa, Ahangama
Yvan is an amazing host! He was there for both check-in and check-out, offering great recommendations on where to eat, surf, and party. We even went surfing together. After I checked out, I realized I had forgotten my charger, and he kindly brought it back to me.
