Bed and breakfast holiday rentals in Southern Province

Wonderful place to stay in Unawatuna. Close to everything, easy to get bus/Tuktuk but such a peaceful environment gorgeous house and gardens. Lovely dogs who were so quiet at night. Ajith was really helpful and accommodating to extra requests. Lovely breakfast each morning.

Very clean and peaceful room with great views and a awesome swimming pool.great place to relax away from the city but close to places to eat.host was very helpful. Would recommend it to anyone

We had a lovely stay in Darshaka’s property. His Mum, Veneetha cooked us varied, delicious breakfasts each day. The whole family were very friendly & helpful. We enjoyed a chilled break through this part of our journey in Sri Lanka. Thank you 😊

Madu’s place was fantastic—peaceful, quiet, and perfect for a relaxing stay. The house is fully private, with its own kitchen and bathroom, offering great comfort and independence. The host, Madu, is incredibly communicative and helpful. Whether you have questions or need assistance, he’s always reachable, either in person or via phone. One thing to keep in mind: if you want to be close to the city center, it’s about a 20–30 minute walk, as the house is situated near the second river up north. However, this also means you get to enjoy a quiet, secluded space with almost no neighbours. (bonus: you get to see some fireflies at night) If you have a scooter, getting around won’t be an issue at all!

We had another wonderful stay in the villa this year. This time I didn't book directly by the sea, but a little further back. The room was very big and the two beds were very comfortable. The terrace was a dream, where I could enjoy my coffee every morning at 7 a.m. with a great view of the sea. Breakfast was as delicious as always and really plentiful (great Sri Lankan breakfast on request) ❤️ The whole team is as helpful and friendly as always. You come as a guest and leave as a friend. Thank you, dear Maria, to you and your fantastic team.🙏❤️

"I recently stayed at Bakery Family Guest House in Mirissa, Sri Lanka, and had an amazing experience! The hotel was exactly as described, with clean and comfortable rooms. Modisha and her whole family were incredibly friendly and helpful, and went above and beyond to make sure I had everything I needed. They Served us very healthy breakfast, The location was perfect. I would highly recommend Bakery Family Guest House to anyone looking for a relaxing and comfortable stay in Mirissa. Great value for the price, and I would definitely stay here again!"

This awesome house is run by a very sweet family who are easy to communicate with and always do their best to help. The location is in a very green and quiet area away from the hustle and bustle with a beautiful Buddhist temple and green rice fields nearby with lots peacocks (and all kinds of birds) around. I stayed at this house for two months and it has been a delight.

This was a great place in a great location. The staff were super helpful. Chef Indy is a great cook and we enjoyed both his breakfasts (French toast was great!) and dinners (excellent curries). Kelum helped us arrange surf lessons as well as providing other tips. We had a great stay. The only downside of the place is that it is between a busy street and the train tracks and the train can be a bit loud but it didn’t keep any of us from sleeping and the private yard area is very nice. The open kitchen/living/dining area has a beautiful view of the ocean and the AC in the bedrooms worked great.

I had a great time staying with Naleen and Wasana, they were extremely helpful, helped me to arrange transportation, bike rental and occasional lunches and dinner, it is nice plays worth it is money with extremely pleasant and caring hosts. definitely recommend staying there

I had a wonderful month-long stay at Ceylonza. Located just outside the bustling commercial area of Mirissa, it offered a perfect balance of convenience for grocery shopping, easy access to the beach, and nearby take-out options. The atmosphere was cozy, peaceful, and comfortable. Lala provided me with a private kitchen, allowing me to cook my own meals and enjoy morning tea. The spacious and clean bathroom featured both cold and warm showers. My room was quiet and pleasant, and I felt safe even at night, especially with Lala often having friends in the patio upstairs. He was being readily available to address any questions or concerns I had throughout my stay. Stutiyi 🙏🏻

Really great accommodation nearby to beautiful quiet beaches - as a female solo traveler I always felt safe. Manju’s food is also the most delicious food I’ve eaten in Sri Lanka, would return just for this!

Kirinuga is a nice place to relax and a perfect break from the city. It has a beautiful garden where you can relax in some outside beds. Renate and her crew are really friendly and will help you if needed with anything. The breakfast is included and you have a few options and all of them are really delicious! The fruits we ate there were one of our best fruits on the whole trip.

Perfect place for a little romantic getaway in the beautiful Galle fort! You couldn't ask for a better location, kinder hosts, and a more delicious breakfast. Highly recommend staying at the Dutch Wall:)

Beautiful and clean place right at a wonderful and not crowded beach. Amazing breakfast with view of the ocean and super friendly and helpful host, who also organized a driver to Colombo for us the day we left. Very good restaurant in close walking distance, which had just newly opened: Ember Beach Hikkaduwa. Everything else is easily accessible via TukTuk.

My wife and I loved the villa and it was a bonus to be there during off-season when we had the place to ourselves as there was no other booking. Praneeth was very helpful throughout our stay and gave us a lot of suggestions to explore Galle and the nearby beaches. Sampath's breakfast fishes were delicious and set us for the day. I would recommend this villa to anyone visiting Galle because it is situated away from the hustle bustle and in the lap of nature. The pool was amazing after a day of adventure. I plan to book the villa again for my next visit with my family.

Thanks, was a lovely accommodation in our journey through sri lanka! Located in walking distance to the beach and awesome restaurants. Highly recommend

We had a very nice stay here. The room was clean, the terrace a great plus. The drinking water, which is provided, was also great. Manoj and his family served us a great breakfast every morning directly on our terrace. In 2 minutes you will be on the beautiful quiet beach where you can swim and surf. Manoj was accessible at all times and responded quickly and helped. Everything is wonderful, you don't go wrong here:)

what a fantastic location, wonderfull food and nice family!

True gem of a place run by 3 lovely ladies, who make you feel unbelievably welcome, from the minute you arrive. The rooms are clean, large and very comfortable and the restaurant food is exceptional. It was incredibly relaxing to sit and look out over the clear Indian Ocean; perfect for that early morning dip before breakfast. The location is ideal for Galle, Unawatuna and Dellawella beach, where you are guaranteed to swim with the turtles. We stayed for 5 weeks and enjoyed every minute we were there.

Bandu homestay/guesthouse is truely unique ... beautiful artistically painted quirky rooms & bathrooms/balconies set in a verdant lush garden of tall multi storied plants that's truely awe-inspiring conveying a natural peaceful ambience with its mangos, birds, squirrels, peacocks & even monkeys ... I couldn't stop taking photos of the place. Bandu is happy to sit & chat with you about Sri Lanka with excellent English & his wife makes the best tea in the morning & I was lucky enough to be offered curry & roti on occasion. Unawatuna is not my favourite beach but this is my "favourite" Airbnb & I will return in the future

Lovely room and Maria was super flexible with early check in as our travel plans had changed last minute. Beautiful room and we love Rio! Only consideration was that is close to the train tracks and you can hear the train passing in the morning

Lovely stay in Weligama. Super flexible and accommodating, and Shamila helped me to find a surf instructor and made breakfast each morning. Would definitely stay again :)

Speechless is an understatement. As much an art gallery as it is a villa! Architecture, design, engineering - sheer genius. Rooms are generous with space, have a shady private garden, a bath with two showers and two sinks for couples ! The pool is surrounded by vivid lush gardens, it’s deep and cool and perfect for a workout swim. The place has got numerous lounges and working places, WiFi. But most of all we fell in love with hosts Mike and Wally ! These two aren’t just hosts; they’re the heart and soul of this villa. They welcomed us at sunset with hugs that made us feel like family. World travelers and dream weavers, they’ve poured their adventures into creating a stay that’s nothing short of magical. All design, art and lush gardens done by their golden hands ! Exiting the gates is rice paddies and a temple. Surf at Kabalana - breezy 22-minute scooter ride away. Closest beach - 13 min. The place is cool and breezy on a sunny day, cosy in the rains, ambient at night. Just perfect!

We had a wonderful time here.
