Vacation rentals with lake access in Tangalle

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!!

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 Lakeview Villa is a stunning, secluded (despite being not so far away from the closest town) property. Garden is extremely well kept, the interior is well thought out giving the building soul which other more modern villas usually lack. I could spend days marveling the view from the pool. The staff are kind and welcoming. Lesley is a great host, responsive at all times. And my favorite part of the stay - Sonali’s cooking - she is a master of her craft and treated us to dishes leaps and bounds ahead of anything else we ate on the island. The food itself is worth the visit to the house. Do not hesitate to book this property!

I stayed with 2 friends for a 6 day surf vacation. The house worked great for us. Very well located near the Sion surf point, near many restaurants and coffee shops, very specious and well equipped. DD was pleased and proactive and helped us feel at home. We will return there as soon as we can. Highly recommended.

Amazing location on the lake. The host and dinil are super helpful and took care of all our needs. Would definitely come back again. Thank you guys

Super cute place, perfect location. Little thoughtful decorations everywhere, the pool is so clean. We’ve stayed for two nights but wish we could have stayed longer. The staff are all really helpful, very protective of their guests and helped organize some activities for us, very good communication throughout. Hope to be back soon.

After staying in 30+ Airbnbs over the past 3 years, we can easily say Nuwan’s place is the best. We loved having coffee on the private balconies (there are 2, 1 facing rice fields & the other the lake) while watching buffalo, toucans, peacocks & monkeys (who don’t bother you!). The space is HUGE, with plenty of areas to work. The air con is strong in the bedrooms, & they provide filtered water, so no need to buy plastic. Cleaning & washing are excellent. The location is epic, surrounded by stunning scenery, yet only 15 mins from the best beach(!) in Sri Lanka—Silent Beach. There are cooking utensils, veggies from the garden, & it’s 10 mins to town, but you can also order food from them (which we genuinely think is the best restaurant in Tangalle!). Finally, Nuwan, Piyumi, their funny, smart daughter Emly, & the grandparents are the kindest people—from rescuing baby peacocks to helping us tailor clothes, to watching fireflies. Just book it! We miss everyone + the dogs so much already.

Staying at this incredible wooden cottage on Koggala Lake was an absolute dream. From the moment we arrived, the host made us feel incredibly welcome and at home — their warmth and hospitality truly set the tone for the entire stay. A special shoutout to Yohan, whose help and attentiveness were simply amazing and made everything even more seamless. The cottage itself is beautifully constructed, giving off a fantastic homely vibe with stunning views of the lake. The team even torched the gardens for us in the evening, creating a magical, serene atmosphere. The pool was always clean, inviting, and accessible — a perfect spot to unwind whenever we wanted. All our basic needs were thoughtfully and thoroughly taken care of, making the entire experience completely stress-free. If you’re looking for a perfect blend of comfort, nature, and genuine hospitality, this place is an absolute gem. Can’t recommend it enough!

Can’t recommand more this place, everything is AMAZING. Great location, the villa is awesome and the staff is so Nice and so good at their job. We come back for sure
