Apartment in Weligama
4.86 out of 5 average rating, 14 reviewsOcean Suite | Trips | Room Service | Restaurant
NatalieRating, 5 stars6 months ago
Wow, what an amazing stay! The suite was stunning—spacious, spotless, and perfect for our big family. The pool was sparkling clean, and the balcony views of the ocean were breathtaking. Having a private beach and surfing school nearby was such a bonus! Manoj, the host, was super helpful and always available, making everything easy for us. The quieter side of Weligama beach was lovely, but it’s just a quick ride to Mirissa or the main area if you want more action. Highly recommend this place for a relaxed family getaway!

A large manor with a very unique and beautiful environment. There are coconut groves, mango trees, and starfruit trees... The location is also very good. It's right next to the beach. The service is very welcoming. It feels like home. It's also very personalized. Because we came back late from whale watching, they gave us a house to check out late. Unfortunately, there wasn't enough time to stay at the hotel and enjoy such a beautiful environment. I highly recommend it.

LucyRating, 5 stars2 months ago
PERFECT !!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Sahan and family are so lovely and greeted us with a coconut each on arrival. Throughout our stay they have been so friendly and even invited us to their family meals but sadly we already had plans with family visiting us so couldn’t attend. The location is wonderful, right opposite the beach and in the heart of Madiha close to everything. The decor and cleanliness of the property was a 10/10. The listed amenities and property description is spot on and we were not disappointed. We really wanted to extend as we loved it so much but unfortunately it was already booked up so we have arranged to come back next season to see them & stay again!Thank you so much, we can’t wait to come back again :)

Singhe House - Beachfront Studio (Raksha)
CecilieRating, 5 stars6 months ago
We had a great time here! Close to beautiful beaches, a range of restaurants and cafes, about a 10 min walk to Hiriketiya beach. The place was spacious and all we needed for a 4 night stay. Big bathroom, and a 10 liter box of water included, a kettle and a small fridge. We only met the host brightly for check in, but he responded quickly if we texted him. Would recommend this place!

Dulshan and Lisa's vacation rental is a very cool flat with a very high design. It seems to have just been completed, so everything is new and clean, which surprised me. It was very comfortable, so I extended my stay longer. The location is also perfect, just 1-2 minutes from Hiriketiya beach. There are many restaurants, cafes, grocery stores and liquor stores around the vacation rental, so it's perfect. The Hiriketiya surf break is just around the corner that perfect lefthander peel off from the cape. Dulshan and Lisa are very quick to respond to messages, so any problems you have can be resolved instantly. Hiriketiya is an up-and-coming beach resort that can be enjoyed by all ages and genders.

Very nice place to lie comfortably on the beach and relax. The surf school next door is also highly recommended. Here you can combine relaxation and action. The place was clean, the breakfast (buffet) delicious and the team on site very kind and helpful. Highly recommend😊

SvetlanaRating, 5 stars2 months ago
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.

RayRating, 5 stars1 week ago
Very happy, after careful selection, I happened to see this villa.I was attracted at first sight, looking forward to staying, and when I arrived, I was physically and mentally happy. The manager arranged it well, all the staff were very friendly, and the service was very good!In the guestbook of the villa, I saw the messages of travelers from all over the world who have been here. Although they are all strangers who have not met, we intertwine through words and misplaced time and space. It is also a kind of fate!Finally! Have a nice trip!Stay healthy!Hello, stranger!

Thank you for a truly magical stay. My family and I had a wonderful week at your property — it was both relaxing and memorable. What made our experience even more enjoyable was your incredibly welcoming staff. A special shoutout to Dinesh, who was outstanding throughout our stay. His kindness, helpfulness, and ever-present smile made a real difference — he truly deserves recognition for his efforts!

GinevraRating, 5 stars6 days ago
This villa is something wonderful. All the details are perfect, beautiful and sophisticated. The bedrooms are fantastic, the swimming pool is amazing, the garden itself is a gem. And the staff! The housekeeper Sasun with the other guys, runs the villa in à perfect way: they are available for every request, helpful and incredibly skilled! We had many meals at home and it was definitely better than at the restaurants! The position is really good. You can walk in the nature up to the main road, Matara road, where many small restaurants are, or ask the staff to call a tuk tuk. Galle fort is about 30' away! Stephen the owner, is promptly reacting and helpful. Despite the weather in June, to stay in villa Vador has been an amazing experience and I can't wait to come once again! Thanks to Stephen and the staff for having made my holiday so relaxing!
