Villa Noumi Full Property
Really beautiful villa, great attention to design detail. Service was friendly and helpful and we can recommend the home cooking. The food was delicious!

August Beach House - Weligama
The best thing about August beach house is it's location..sits right on the beach with lots of nice bars, restaurants and surf schools nearby. The staff were very kind and courteous and they keet the place squeaky clean through out our stay.

Stunning Villa in Ahangama, walk to beach
Gads Villa is a truly magical place. The gardens are exquisitely landscaped, and the giant Velvet Apple tree is really a wonder to behold. The pool has a shallow section which is perfect for little ones, or for adults to lounge in. The kitchen is huge and had everything we needed (important when traveling with 4 youngsters!). The bathrooms are likewise huge and very prettily set out. Beds are comfortable and the fans were sufficient to keep us cool at night. The neighborhood is very quiet and safe, a few minutes tuk tuk ride into the main part of town. I personally found it very convenient to have yoga and a little spa within a few minutes walk. Secret Beach is also only a short walk away. Sahan and team were super helpful, and breakfasts were delicious. All in all a fabulous stay.

Remote Nest Cabins - Top Floor
We had an amazing time. The property and room was beautiful and thoughtfully designed - it felt like a little oasis. Our hosts Berni & Prabath were welcoming and very friendly. They gave us recommendations for surfing and how to get around. Overall a really enjoyable stay <3

Vador Villa, a tropical paradise
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.

Hiriketiya Lotus House AC~Fiber WiFi~Kitchen~Pool
We LOVED our stay at Hiriketiya Studios. Nishan was such an incredible host—he went far above and beyond in his hospitality. The place itself is lovely and peaceful with a gorgeous pool and high quality kitchen equipment for cooking. Location wise, it’s in a perfect spot, totally walkable to Hiriketiya or Dickwella beach, cute cafes, big grocery store, and even to snorkeling with turtles.

Wood Stories by Month
The place was really nice . It felt cozy and we stayed without any disturbance . Don is a great host , very helpful and he made our trip pretty smooth. Would love to visit again.

Villa Chill Madiha
A great stay by the ocean. I loved going to sleep to the sound of the waves and watching the turtles right out the front. Lots of food and bar options within walking distance. Definitely recommend!

hela studio hiriketiya with A/C
Our stay at Hela Studio was lovely. We booked last minute as we wanted to extend our stay in Hiriketiya. Marta was a great host and was very helpful with local recommendations and check in process. Marta also helped to arrange a realisable car transfer which was a great price.

Ruwan Jungle Homestay
I recently had the pleasure of staying at an Airbnb hosted by Ruwan, and it was a delightful experience. Ruwan was an extremely warm and welcoming host, making us feel at home from the moment we arrived. The location was fantastic, within walking distance to both the beach and Coconut Tree Hill. The lush green property felt almost like staying in a forest, offering a serene environment. The breakfast provided was very good, with a variety of delicious options. The room was a bit small, but it didn't affect our comfort during the stay. Additionally, Ruwan offers to help plan activities in and around Mirissa, which could add a lot of value to your trip. Despite the minor detail about the room size, the stay had its positive aspects, particularly Ruwan's hospitality, the excellent breakfast, and the beautiful surroundings. This Airbnb is a great choice for travelers looking for a welcoming host and a beautiful location.

Green Villa Holiday Home
Thank you so much for your hospitality! The place was really cozy and nice, we loved the balcony surrounded by blooming trees. The hosts were incredible - friendly, responsive. For example, we wanted ab extra key and a fan for the balcony - all of our requests were completely satisfied. It was always clean and neat - cleaning every week with a change of bed linen. The place is close to the main beaches, bus stop and everything you light need. Yard is blooming and big enough for parking 4-5 bikes

Moody Moon Villa Midigama
The house was spacious and the garden was perfect for outside breakfast and dinner. The location is perfect, just a few minutes walk from the beach, restaurants and train station. The communication with Suren and his family was very good, they are lovely people living just beside the house and ready to help us whenever we needed it! For the price it’s a bargain, we definitely recommend :)

Wella Gedara
Wonderful stay and the property was amazing with access to the beach right outside the back gate. Couldn’t recommend enough!

Shaka Bay
This was our favorite place we stayed in Sri Lanka during our trip! Beautiful, welcoming, clean and comfortable home with attentive staff. Super close to the beach. Just on the other side of the street. They also let us check in early which was helpful to have a place to store our luggage.

Casa Villa Ahangama
We had a wonderful stay at this Airbnb in Sri Lanka and we were a group of 6 people. The property was exactly as described—clean, spacious, and beautifully maintained, with a great pool that made our trip even more relaxing. The location was peaceful and perfect for a getaway. What truly made our experience exceptional was with the host Supun. He was incredibly helpful throughout our stay and went above and beyond when we accidentally left behind a wallet. He not only found it but also arranged to have it couriered back to us—something we’re truly grateful for. Highly recommend this place to anyone visiting Sri Lanka. Great property and an even better host!

House of Water Lily
I had such a lovely stay at the House of Water Lilies! The hosts were incredibly friendly and made me feel right at home from the moment I arrived. The place itself is peaceful, beautifully surrounded by nature, and perfect if you’re looking for a calm escape. You can really feel the love and care that went into creating this space. It’s close enough to enjoy the beaches and cafes of Weligama, but far enough to relax in total peace. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a cozy and welcoming place to stay in Sri Lanka!
Private house rentals

Sambol Garden House - with private pool
We had a lovely time at Luca's place. The house has everything you need for a great rest. You will be able to observe the few animals that roam freely in the garden. The pool is a big plus in the heat of Sri Lanka. The house is incredibly clean and the people who work there are very nice. Nimesh will help you with any questions, you can contact them at any time. He took us to change money, showed us where the best places to dine were and organized all the excursions for us. He also took care of our trip and picked us up from the airport. Throughout, we were able to enjoy the wonderful dinners prepared by Nirosha including a great seafood barbecue. The house is very well located: only a short walk to the beach and all restaurants/shops. Feel free to book your stay in this house, it's a real little paradise.

Aravivilla Beach House
The villa is adequately provided and well equipped . If anything is required to suit your taste then Aravinda promptly arranges the same . We spent nearly 34 days at this villa and it had become a second home to us. 2 bedrooms were provided with AC and the 3rd bedroom was provided with desert cooler. For longer stays the electricity is billed to the guest. Our bill was @14000 LKR for the entire duration . We used only 1 AC as only 1 bedroom was utilised by us. We didnot use any electric cooking gadget , even though all kinds of electric ovens were there. We used only the cooking gas stove and gas cylinder was provided by Aravinda . The front lawn is green and Aravinda takes responsibility to get the lawn cleaned once every week. Be careful of red ants though :-). Aravinda took us for a familiarisation ride of the locality on our 1st day . He also picked / dropped us from/to airport in his sedan at very low cost. We definitely would like to come back again!

Butterfly Cottage and Dragonfly Suite
Very nice villa with all amenities needed. Beautiful garden directly on the beach. Some nice restaurants nearby. Very helpful and friendly host. You get a massive villa for a good price. For families with small children you should know that not all beds/bedrooms are in the same building.

Villa 2a (3BR close to the beach)
It was a pleasure to return home to such a nice house. One of the best I've stayed in.

Charming Villa
highly recommend this place. very quiet and peaceful. comfortable accomodation. central location. the rooftop is a gorgeous spot. nisansala was a very responsive host. would definitely visit again.

Secret Paradise - Ocean
This was hands down the best spot we found in Hiriketiya. It's just far enough from the busy center to enjoy total peace and quiet, but still only a 5-minute drive by bike to all the beach vibes, cafés, and restaurants Hiriketiya has to offer. The place itself is beautiful—super clean, modern, and brand new. The view is absolutely stunning, and waking up to the sunrise right from bed was a daily highlight. The hosts were incredibly kind and welcoming, always happy to share tips and help with anything we needed. We felt very well taken care of. Highly recommend this gem if you're looking for a calm, comfortable, and scenic stay in Hiriketiya!

A64 Villa – Home Away from Home
The place is really nice and looks just like the photos. Hot water, good A/C, fast wifi, working kettle and gas cooker, and the bed is super comfy. The host organised for my laundry to be done, and was very good at communicating. The only thing I would say is the location is a bit far away from the beach and centre of Weligama, so if you don’t have your own bike, it’s hard to get around, and also hard to get food as there aren’t many places to eat within walking distance. Overall good stay.

henwala hideaway
The dreamiest place with the coolest owners and the kindest staff will absolutely come back stay for a month if I could
