O2 Villas - Sparkling Place for 7 PP
I would recommend. The owner being very supportive during the check-in process also invited people to take our luggage for us. Rooms are clean and I would say a great experience overall. Great location though not on the main road but you got monkeys, lake view and tranquility. Walkable distance to great restaurants.

Coco Garden Villas - Villa 01
Chathura is a very friendly and helpful guy! The Villa is great, simple and clean. Location is a little walking distance, but for that reason perfectly quite. Every night the Garden was packed with fire flies - magical! We went on a tour to the cinamon garden at his parents House and had great and private conversation about life. Thank you very much for everything!! :)

Seashell Villa Beach Front -BIG Pool -20%Discount
We stayed at this beautiful villa in Sri Lanka with a group of six, and overall, it was a fantastic experience. The villa itself was spacious, clean, and very well-maintained. The host was incredibly welcoming and helpful throughout our stay, which made everything even more enjoyable. The highlight was definitely the private swimming pool — perfect for relaxing and cooling off. The villa is located right on the beach, which made for stunning views and peaceful vibes. However, one thing to note is that the sea was too rough for swimming during our stay due to strong waves. So while the beach setting was beautiful, we mostly stuck to the pool for swimming. That said, everything else was excellent, and we had a great time. Highly recommend this villa for a relaxing getaway in Sri Lanka!

No.54
It was a pleasure to stay here. We had everything we needed. Nihal helped a lot: with transfers, sightseeing, food, house, etc. We didn't have any problems. He's a great host! I highly recommend it!

Villa Sihina Nadi Ground Floor Near to the Beach
Suranjitha is super open and willing to help. Any questions / issues we had were resolved quickly and I couldn’t imagine having more support. The place is also great, the Main Street is like 5 min walk, but still not too close so it’s not noisy there. The train station is 5 min walk as well

Villananda - Amazing Beachfront Villa With Pool
We really loved staying here. The house was spacious, nice big bedrooms and beds and the best feature was the pool looking straight onto a clean, empty, beautiful beach. We spent hours on the terrace and in the pool. Martin was always quick to respond and Mr. Sampath and the staff at the villa were always very pleasant and helpful. Breakfast was excellent and the Sri Lanka curry option on the menu was most enjoyable. I’d strongly recommend Villananda to anyone thinking of booking.

The Dog House
It was fantastic stay! We enjoyed sunrises and sunsets 🥰 Garden was so beautiful! We love when there are a lot of light in the house and that's the right option. The host was so nice and kind! We adore our dinner and his caring in general. Place is really quiet and cozy. We slept so well. We found breathtaking beach near the house. No crowds and worries at all! Only small turtles and blue waves. We also recommend "Kat's coffee" place, great food and drinks, worth visiting. Our first experience in Sri Lanka was amazing because of this house!

Relax by the Pool in Cozy Villa in Weligama
Excellent service excellent location walking distance to the main area by the beach. 80metres to the beach. The pool was amazing had everything you needed. Thank you.

Family beach house w/ pool - Madiha, South coast
The beautiful Beach House - Reef House - is located in a quiet spot in Madhia overlooking the ocean. The location is around 20 to 25 minutes drive to Mirissa beach with Welligama beach little further ahead. The location worked perfectly for us since our intention was mainly to relax and step out for short outings. While one cannot swim in the ocean in front of the house, we enjoyed the soothing sounds of waves & dips in the pool. The reef house is tastefully done, comfortable with basic amenities including good wifi. There’s a room on the ground floor which is perfect for elderly guests or anyone who might find stairs challenging. Swell cafe for coffee fix is right opposite the house. Charitha is cordial, prompt with replies & is available to answer queries. Indika is kind & took excellent care of us. Siri cooked us delicious meals. This was our first time living with pets and to be honest Gaston and Bella were a delight to have around. We had memorable stay at the Reef House.

SWEET VILLA
Great villa with fantastic pool and all the amenities as stated in the description. local town, shops and restaurants all 15-20 mins walk. Pamoda and the housekeeper Sunetta could not have been more helpful. Would highly recommend.

Kingsley's Pearl At Galle Fort, Sri Lanka
Simply the best property we have ever hired on Airbnb or elsewhere. The house is AMAZING. Service was impeccable. Really perfect. Thanks Colleen and thanks to Nissanka and Dammika for their help throughout our stay in Galle.

Villa Arali (Private Villa with Swimming Pool)
We had a lovely 4 night stay at the end of our Sri Lanka trip in Hikkaduwa. We have 3 kids and they loved the pool after going surfing. Everything in in walking distance. The kids loved the trains going past. Kumari is an absolutely gorgeous person. She met us at check in and straight away we left at home. Thank you

Blue Peacock Beach House
We stayed for a week as a family of four and really enjoyed it. The location is great—right on the beach and just a short walk or tuk tuk ride to restaurants and shops. The kids were well entertained with both the pool and the beach. The surf directly in front of the villa can be a bit rough (classic beach break), but there are plenty of safer snorkeling spots and good surf not far away. We appreciated the quiet and peaceful setting. The villa manager and team were helpful and responsive throughout our stay.

Madiha Garden: luxury villa & pool next to beach
Beautiful villa in a lovely location. The staff is super helpful and we loved our stay. Lots of restaurants in the area and a beautiful beach just few steps away. highly recommended.

Tropical Bungalow- 1 bedroom
Such a lovely stay a highlighting our long trip to Sri Lanka. Loved the house, the staff at the property, and the spa next door. Loved having our own kitchen (it’s fully stoked), and as a couple to have privacy away from the busy town when we wanted. Location to the beach and other walking distant destinations was perfect. Super happy we stayed here highly recommend

The White Sand Villa stay will be the highlight of my Trip to Sri Lanka.

The Chef just made best food what we wanted. I will recommend this Villa to anyone. Nirasha was Fantastic host.

Tiny villa

Beach_TRIGON 1.1 / tinyhouse / co_living
Some of the reviews here made me second guess my booking, but you can't always rely on what you read. That said I LOVED my stay here, it was heaven on earth literally ON the beach. I am traveling through SL solo and this place was a dream, Ravi was so helpful and accommodating, he and I got along very well, (yes he is a bit rough around the edges) but you can't always judge a book by its cover. Ravi went out of his way to make me feel welcomed. Erich was amazing as well, his communicaiton was excellent, very responsive. Points: Make sure you discuss price upfront before anything. My only complaint is that Ravi had a bag of laundry done for me and the next day charged me $40 USD!!!! I was floored. I had two bags of laundry done a few days later for $6.50 USD wishing you both all the success ( I have already told 3 people to book with you when they get down South) I hope they do!

Villa Coconut Tree Hill
Great stay and great place. We ended up extending our stay. It was value for the price paid.

2BD Villa with Pool & Private Secluded Beach
Beautiful villa, much nicer than the photos! Spotlessly clean when we arrived and maintained perfectly by Santa throughout our stay. The food is amazing, we didn't want to leave to eat elsewhere unless we had to! The pool and garden are perfect and there's a gate at the end of the garden that leads onto a beautiful and very quiet beach. The host Sophie is very responsive and Santa will help organise trips etc Would definitely recommend.

Your Dream Bungalow - Mirissa with tropical garden
Great guest, amazing communicator and super space. Happy to come back.

Amandhira
We had a wonderful family stay at the villa which was made all the more enjoyable by the excellent care and service provided by the villa staff especially Mervin. Would love to come back.

Tropical Beach House, Hikkaduwa
We have just got home after our trip to the Tropical Beach House in Hikkaduwa. What a totally lovely time away. Great communication with Gavin prior to the visit and out in touch with Darmith (house keeper) and taxi transport for arrival. We arrived at 2am to be met by Darmith and Saji (security) and felt at home straight away. Darmith had collected fridge essentials before we arrived so we were set up for the following morning. The house and gardens are lovely, the sound of the ocean 24/7 is just perfect and the house was spotlessly clean with good facilities. Sangrita helped to provide us with Sri Lankan breakfast foods, loved the Dahl curry and the hoppers but also gave us an awesome Brit breakfast of eggs and bacon! Chandra was on hand at night to cook a bbq which was tasty and varied. We used Tuk tuks to get out and about during our stay which were easy to find. Any issues we had were resolved quickly. Lots of local bars and eateries along the beach or further into Hikkaduwa.
