Apartment in Weligama
5 out of 5 average rating, 4 reviewsLuxury Villa, 50 meter from Weligama Beach
My stay in this beautiful villa apartment was just perfect, it is super clean and everything is new. You are just a few minutes walking distance to the beach, where you can go for a swim, a surf or a fresh coconut:) As i was working online a lot, it was important to me that the wifi connection is good and stable and it was perfect for many hours of video calls! But the best is the family of Harashani that runs the copyshop downstairs, they are the most lovely people, helping me out with everything and also taking care of me when I got sick🥹 I felt at home and hope i can come back soon😍

Just as advertised and a great location. Close to the beach, restaurants, and shops. Very clean and spacious. Staff is lovely! If you’re a light sleeper, there are announcements early in the morning close to location over a loud speaker. Other than that, we loved our stay!

I recently had the pleasure of staying at an incredible house, and I can't recommend it enough! From the moment I arrived, I was greeted with warmth and hospitality that made me feel right at home. The house itself was beautifully designed, clean, and equipped with all the amenities you could possibly need for a comfortable stay. The location was perfect, offering a peaceful retreat while still being close to local attractions and restaurants. I especially enjoyed the cozy outdoor space, which was ideal for relaxing in the evenings. Our host was exceptional—friendly, responsive, and went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed. They provided great recommendations for nearby activities and dining options, which truly enhanced our experience. Overall, this house exceeded all my expectations. If you're looking for a fantastic place to stay with a wonderful host, look no futher!

Nalaka is definetely a superhost. Always friendly and ready to help with whatever you need. Taxi transfer, tuk-tuk ride, bike rental, sightseeing, food and laundry, power adapters, you name it. His family is also very charming, positive and helpful. The place is always clean, with nice minimalistic furniture. The location is about 7-10 minute bike ride to the sea shore and it might be a good thing as it's quiet and chill. It was a great starting point for my trip and I don't regret staying here for 9 days.

4.91 out of 5 average rating, 11 reviewsSun Villa Apartment - A quiet rest in the jungle
We stayed at Sujeewes place for 5 weeks. It is a great space and has great wifi, especially if you are working. There is lots of space if you like to cook and spend time in the apartment. The balcony is also lovely as you can sit outside and watch the birds. You can hear the prayers in the morning and it's really nice to sit and watch the birds, squirrels, mongoose etc. Sujeewa was very helpful and assisted us with everything needed help with including getting a tuktuk to the next place. He also helped by giving us another fan so we could use the AC less in the main bedroom. The family were really lovely. The rooms are a great size and we felt as though we had a lot of space as a couple. And a great big dining table! There is just a couple of small things I would mention if you were looking to stay here that differ from the photos - there is no oven/microwave as pictured and the balcony also does not have the desk chairs. Other than that, everything was as noted on the listing.

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.

5 out of 5 average rating, 7 reviewsSea view penthouse
One of those rare Airbnb finds that checks all of the boxes. Can't wait to stay again. The views from the top floor are amazing. Wild peacocks and monkeys hangout in the nearby palms. The railroad passes in the back where you can see it come and go (it's not loud, just adds ambiance). Direct views of the nearby surf break. Small neighborhood cafes and restaurants. Tuktuks always at the ready on the main road. Much better than staying in the slightly larger towns. The host family is extremely welcoming, warm, and kind. And who doesn't love a little puppy to play with?

4.91 out of 5 average rating, 47 reviewshela studio hiriketiya with A/C
We loved our stay at Marta's studio. It felt like a home from home! The studio is spacious - great for two people to spread out and down a little road that is a quick walk to both Hiri and Dikwella beaches, but quiet at night. There are some gems really nearby like Rosie's Kitchen and Marta gave great recommendations for places she likes. We were 'digital nomad-ing' from Sri Lanka and Marta's space was great for that as it has good wifi and two places we could set up: a desk inside the studio and a big table outside. It was also nice to have a kettle and fridge so we could make our own breakfasts and sit out on the peaceful front porch watching the monkeys. Highly recommend!

We did not meet in person with Gayan but he was very helpful with useful information on how to travel. His co-host Manike is living very near the Villa and was there for us when we needed something. Her son was very helpful with our questions using the scooter. The scooter was great to use, the village of Weligama is 2.5 km down the hill. The Villa is in a quiet neighborhood with an excellent little restaurant Dileena on 5 minutes walking distance, where we had our breakfast every day.

4.91 out of 5 average rating, 11 reviewsPepper House Weligama (AC)
Amani's place is the perfect spot when visiting Weligama. They have a beautifully renovated home, with a room upstairs, and another downstairs (each with their own bathrooms). It's in a great location, just 10 minutes from the beach. Check-in was simple, the place was clean, and we really enjoyed our time there. Additionally, the AC worked great! Lastly, the Hosts mother also made us an incredible dinner (for a reasonable price) and it was one of the best meals we had. We would recommend this beautiful place to friends and family, and hope to return sometime in the future. A couple additional notes: The hosts home is connected to the airbnb. Additionally, the home is next to a school, which can be a little noisy in the mornings. This was completely fine for us, since we're early risers, but you may want to bring ear plugs if you like to sleep in.

4.92 out of 5 average rating, 192 reviewsCococabana Beach House. Sole use with pool.
Very charming place at the beach with lovely hosts. We were staying as a family and the hosts kindly let us stay with a friend. It’s a great spot both for sunny and rainy days, with a great view of the ocean from the balcony, good WiFi for working, no need for an AC, with good breeze and fans, we were never hot at the place nor sunny days or nights. the dogs are charming pups, we saw a huge turtle laying eggs right in front of the house, we could buy freshly caught fish in front of the house from local fisherman, and the kitchen is fully equipped for cooking and baking. Although the yard and pool are shared, it feels very private and tranquil, you don’t really see or hear anyone, except for staff sweeping the territory and morning cleaning, the rest of the day you are fully to your own. The beach is mirissa reef, so would need to walk to neighbouring beaches for a swim. The surf spots are super close by, plenty restaurants and local shops nearby. Would love to come back !

4.89 out of 5 average rating, 9 reviewsTropical Dream near the beach
It was so nice to stay there! Peaceful with a nice view of the garden's trees from the balcony. The whole family living here makes the place welcoming and lively. Location is great since it's s only 10-15min to the beach and restaurants by walk, same 10min to the main road with all stores and around 1h by walk to Matara fort. Bicycles are available which make the stay even more enjoyable. And the family is right: Polhena beach is really a nice and safe spot for families and people who want to play in the water without any waves. Overall, thanks again for your responsiveness ! Wish you all the best! Take care!

4.67 out of 5 average rating, 3 reviewsCrystal Villa Weligama - Main
I had an amazing stay at Crystal Villa Weligama, a perfect retreat for relaxation and productivity. The villa features 3 beautifully designed bedrooms, making it ideal for families or groups. The cozy living room and dining area are perfect for unwinding and enjoying meals together. The fully-equipped kitchen has everything you need, and with fiber optic internet, it’s great for digital nomads. Located in a calm and quiet area, the villa offers a large garden for relaxation. Just 800 meters from the beach and town, it’s a short 5-10 minute walk to enjoy the sun and surf. The neighborhood is safe and secure, ideal for families. The host, Ruwan, is incredibly helpful, ensuring a comfortable stay. Crystal Villa Weligama is one of the best places to stay in the area, offering comfort, convenience, and tranquility. I highly recommend it for both work and leisure.
