Beachfront holiday rental in Dehiwala-Mount Lavinia

Our family had a wonderful time at Villa Esta. It was very spacious & the staff were wonderful, & very helpful. The chef was also very good & made some delicious Sri Lankan meals as well as some light meals when requested. We had a lovely dinner on the beach on our last night. The beach was very clean & my children enjoyed surfing lessons right in front of our villa. We enjoyed visiting some local tourist spots too. The whole experience was above expectations.

The host was very kind and understanding! Thank you very much!

Gihan is a great host. His communication was spot on. Booked the place for couple days and had a great time. Everything on here is accurate. Place is very close to the beach and a 10 min drive or tuk tuk ride to the best hotels in colombo. Will stay again in the future and recommend to close friends.

Excellent stay, staff are amazing, thank you.

Superb place. Had a great stay here. The hospitality was very warming. The security was excellent as well in the premises. The basic amenities like the grocery store, money exchange, restaurants are just on walking distance. I highly recommend this place to stay.

My husband and I stayed here for a whole month. First of all we want to say that we feel very grateful to the family because they were always willing to help us in any situation. For example one time we got sick during our trip and the family was always aware of our health and attended us in the best way. They also gave us recommendations on how to move around the area and places that could be interesting to visit. On the other hand we can say that the place is very nice, clean and comfortable. We like to have experiences close to local life and being there allowed us to enjoy quiet days away from the tourist hotspots but not so far as to be able to easily go to interesting places such as different beaches, jungles, temples, among others. The breakfasts were varied and all delicious. Also many nights we decided to pay extra for dinner which we must say was everytime delicious and budget friendly. We can highly recommend it staying here and hope to return soon. Cathy & Philipp

It’s a very nice place to stay. Quiet surroundings, big rooms, place for sitting outside and everything you might need is here. The family lives nearby and is very nice and helpful. The beach is a short walk away. I would highly recommend this place.

Location was good. There was a lot of place and very good kitchen

Noel was an excellent host. Check in was a breeze in spite of our late arrival time. The apartment was fantastic in a great location as well. Noel was able to access us with a late check out as well which was greatly appreciated. We loved this place and highly recommended Noel as a host

This is my third time staying at Rehan's place. It's great. I'd definitely recommend to others. If I go back to Colombo, I'll try to stay there again.

I had a great stay at this apartment! The place was clean, comfortable, and exactly as described. It’s in a great location—within walking distance to major shopping malls and very easy to get around the area. The host Jay was incredibly friendly, helpful, and always quick to communicate. I also really enjoyed the amenities—the pool and gym were both well-maintained. The building staff were very kind and welcoming as well. Highly recommend!

For the dehiwala apartment review : The apartment was clean and well presented. We enjoyed watching the sunset each evening from the balconies which all have an ocean view. The location was great, the bedrooms and aircon comfortable and the bathrooms were clean & fresh. The hosts were responsive and flexible giving us a late check-out as there was no booking after us. The assistant organised for check-in and check-in was easy to liaise with.

We had a fantastic time at the appartement. The Caretaker as well as Prajot been super helpful and always been reachable for us. The location of the place is perfect starts with going out for food or shopping as well as the fantastic view. We loved being able to use the spacious and clean pool as Colombo gets really hot during the day. Everything has been absolutely great for us and we would surely stay here again.

It is an amazing place to stay. The apartment is located 2 mins of walking distance from the beach. Has a nice view of the beach from the balconies. There were each balcony for bedrooms and for the living room. The roof top infinity pool is my favorite. Can see the sun set and sun rise from the pool. Since our stay was bit long 5 nights, the host provided extra drinking water and toilet paper. The host is very responsive. Had a good time with my family.

Absolutely loved my stay in this flat. There is so much going for it (so stylish! Private pool! Etc etc) but my top 3 favourite experiences are: seeing the tree canopy when I wake up, followed closely by the kind hospitality of our wonderful host Avishka, and the security and privacy this place offers no matter what time of the night I arrive. It has been magical and an absolute privilege that for a time in my life, I got to call this place my Colombo home.

Very nice place and maintained. Felt like home Definitely will recommend my friends. Thank you for early check in was very helpful. Wish you all the best.

A fantastic stay! Host was incredibly helpful and responsive

good communication and such a nice place

Great place to stay at. We felt at hime immediately and after a montj, we left the place and the ground floor staff with heavy heart. We had a bit of problems to start with, but it was all sorted out soon and it was so comfortable.

We stayed at this place for over two weeks. Host Sudaththa and the manager Lakshanee were responsive and ready to help. Our flight arrived after midnight and the drive from airport was slow due to heavy rain. Lakshanee waited for us to let us in and introduce the facilities. They were also happy to accommodate our request to get some groceries for our immediate needs. The pool on the roof is small but very clean and is set in nice surroundings (can see the ocean from the rooftop). A/c units and fans kept us cool and the generator on standby meant there was no power interruption for more than a few seconds. The security guards were alert even after 19 pm and opened the gate for us when we were a little late to get back. Overall the experience was better than anticipated. The kitchen utensil range is limited but if we had asked I believe what we needed would have been provided. We did not because we only needed to make breakfast and tea there.

Thank you so much for the warm welcome at 2 am. Needless to say, everything was perfect. Looking forward to coming back..

Very clean and conveniently located, with all the necessary amenities. The host is very responsive and helpful. I will definitely return — glad I found this place for my regular trips to CMB.

Good place to stay , very central

We arrived late and were let in by the always-helpful 24-hour security. The apartment is spacious and comfortable with sea views and air conditioning. It's very close to the beach and the various restaurants. The rooftop pool is a real asset and a place to relax and watch the sunset after the hustle and bustle of Colombo. The owner kept in touch and was available at all times.
