Lovely property in the suburbs of Colombo! Perfect for a small group of friends and family of 4-5 people. Extremely spacious rooms with well thought out furniture and fittings and to top it all off a large patio to unwind and chill.

I stayed for 5 weeks at the Elora Residence and couldn‘t be more happier. Beautiful place in a quite environment. Bus station, restaurants or supermarket only a few minutes walking distance away. Upeksha and her mom are always available in case of any issues or requests. Very kind and lovely people! A stay there is definitely worth it.

4.89 out of 5 average rating, 36 reviewsSeed Stay- 2 bedrooms
We had a wonderful stay at Aruni and Nish's place. The apartment is beautiful and located in the heart of the city, very clean and all amenities available. Hosts are warm and very responsive. My sole note would be to inform guests that the caretaker also stays on the property (which we didn't know beforehand), which some guests may want and others not, also about the small deposit for the keys. (Again, totally okay but good for people to know in advance). Overall this was an amazing stay though, so highly recommend!

I had an amazing stay at Gayan’s house ! The house is very big, everything is clean, well maintained. I work online and the fiber works very well, it was the perfect. The bedrooms are comfortable with everything needed, the kitchen is well equipped. The neighbours come clean the house and the garden once a week, they are very helpful and nice !! I just recommend this place 100% if you want to enjoy the beautiful south coast of Sri Lanka !! You will feel like home, but in paradise 😍

4.9 out of 5 average rating, 10 reviewsSuperior house with garden (dunwaththa)- Madiha SL
Kalini's very spacious house with its wonderful garden is very close to the seaside which is a bit off the beaten track. We, and especially the children, particularly enjoyed Pollihena beach, which is just a 8 min cycle ride from Kalini. The house is well furnished and equipped. The support from Kalini's father was particularly great: he was on hand to give us tips and contacts, brought us fruit, and was overall very helpful.

Villa in Uswetakeyyawa
4.85 out of 5 average rating, 108 reviewsVILLA SANARA Absolute Beach Front Colombo North
Sam’s villa was very clean and comfortable for our group of 3 adults and 3 children. Sam was very responsive and answered many questions before our arrival. The beach was nice to walk on and the kids loved the pool. The chef made us delicious breakfasts and one dinner in which the kids kept asking for seconds! Sandun was also very helpful, especially when meeting us at 4am after our flight. Thank you to all for a great stay!

Villa in Matara
5 out of 5 average rating, 63 reviewsSWEET VILLA
This villa was a lonely stay, somewhat hidden away. The grounds and Villa itself were lovely and there are staff presents to help recommend places to eat, or do some laundry at a small fee. Would recommend for a group of people. Delphine was super supportive throughout our stay and makes a great host who was easy to communicate before and during our stay.
Villa in Ambalangoda
4.81 out of 5 average rating, 21 reviewsSalt Villa - Beachfront Private Pool - Luxury 3BR
The staff accommodated our food needs so well. Served always with a smile. So close to the main attractions. The sea was rough when we stayed so couldn’t go to the beach in front of the property. But Hikkadua was so close and we enjoyed the beach activities there.
Villa in Thalaramba
4.94 out of 5 average rating, 107 reviewsDimaha Villa, Thalaramba, Mirissa, Sri Lanka
We had a great time in the Dimaha villa. The villa and the garden was amazing - just like on the pictures. Our family of 4 really enjoyed our stay. Thank you. Also huge thanks to our local hosts, who welcomed us with drinks and dinner, and helped us organize everything. It was a lovely stay - highly recommended.
Villa in Unawatuna
4.95 out of 5 average rating, 20 reviewsVilla sunrise unawatuna
We had a great time staying in this villa for one month. Finding a good place in Sri Lanka at a reasonable price is so hard. This villa exceeded our expectations. It was much better in real life than in pictures. The sunrise through the windows softly illuminates the jungle, calling us to wake up early for every new day. It is very natural and comfortable to stay in. But our experience would not have been as exciting without the villa's owner, Nuwan. Nuwan is the best man on the island, and we became friends. Every time, he helped us in different situations. We will come back to that place because there are the people who make the place truly happy.
Villa in Ahangama
4.8 out of 5 average rating, 15 reviewsGOOD STORY VILLA
A fabulous stay along the coast and a highlight of our 3 weeks in the country. The place is an easy tuk tuk or moped into town. Very responsive host - easy to communicate with and nothing was a problem. The pool an added bonus for our kids who enjoyed that and the monkeys that were often nearby. Loved the daily housekeeping, and the place is well staffed and professionally run with security etc. Private from other villas on site. Would 100% stay again if back in Sri Lanka.
Villa in Sri Jayawardenepura Kotte
4.94 out of 5 average rating, 17 reviewsEntire Boutique Villa With Pool (PEARL)
Fantastic stay. Shirantha was very responsive during and leading up to the stay and even arranged for on arrival food at our request given middle of night. The caretaker Chathura was very helpful and gave a thorough tour of the premises and always on hand if you have questions or need something. The place was squeaky clean and all amenities you need during travel including thoughtful touches like outlet adaptors at each bedside and a hair dryer. Easy streaming on TV with all major apps and speedy WiFi. The pool looked so good but with the rain didn’t get to use it but it was clean and well maintained. Very quiet location and just what you need as a home base on travel. Would definitely be back.

Villa in Habaraduwa
4.83 out of 5 average rating, 6 reviewsIvory House Colonial villa, private Chef & pool
Absolutely faultless experience. The beautiful house and excellent team of staff exceeded all of our expectations. We were incredibly comfortable in the spacious and beautifully designed and furnished house and gardens. The house managed to combine all of the above whilst allowing us to feel completely ‘at home’. Sunil, the on-site villa manager, was always able to help and guide us with all our needs for transport and excursions etc. Sunil is also a wonderful chef. He cooks with skill but also with love. We felt very well looked after. He and his team kept the villa spotless and were kind and friendly throughout. We hugely appreciated the effort they made to help us celebrate our daughters birthday whilst we were there. Would 100% recommend.

We enjoyed our stay here very much. Love the little village vibe. There are good restaurants nearby and if you’re adventurous, there are some nice secret finds in that area. Pictures are accurate. The house is spacious, comfortable and clean by our singaporean standard. There is a fully equipped kitchen with blender and toastie maker. The day bed swing is a bonus. Really relaxing place. You should stay here.

A Perfect Mountain Getaway with Stunning Views and Gourmet Dining Our stay at this mountain home retreat was unforgettable. The breathtaking views of the peaks and valleys were the perfect backdrop for relaxation, while the chef-prepared meal was a culinary masterpiece—fresh, flavorful, and beautifully presented. The cozy, luxurious accommodations featured large windows that framed the scenery, and the private deck offered the ideal spot to unwind. The attentive staff ensured every detail was perfect, from arranging hikes to recommending sunset viewpoints. For anyone seeking serenity paired with exceptional hospitality, this is a must-visit destination.

4.95 out of 5 average rating, 130 reviewsPaddy-View Villa Near Unawatuna
We absolutely loved our stay here and would definitely rebook the place. The space made you relax completely and also made you feel right at home. We looked forward to coming home when we were out and even made sure to spend time at the place as it was so nice to just lounge outside by the pool and relax. It is an extremely spacious property, private and quiet and the trees surrounding the backyard are perfect. Upul (cook) and Jagath were exceptionally helpful, friendly and respectful, although they are always around they respect your privacy and it is not that noticable. We loved eating Upul’s breakfast and Jagaths cakes (pineapple upside down and banana chocolate were both YUMMY). We were sad to check out, it was probabaly one of my most favourite and memorable airbnb stays. It is not right in town and you have to organise a tuk tuk for transport but because of all the positives it didn’t matter to us as we loved the peace and privacy of the property
