Holiday rentals in Karandeniya

We had a great time staying here, really enjoyed everything the villa had to offer.

Our stay at The Dragonfly Villa was nothing short of amazing. From the moment we arrived, we were wrapped in a sense of calm and beauty that only a place like this can offer. The villa is simply breathtaking — elegantly designed with stunning details, lush surroundings, and peaceful spaces that made it a true escape. A standout highlight was the exceptional cuisine lovingly prepared by Nayana. Each dish she created was bursting with flavour — fresh, comforting, and unforgettable. Every mealtime became a moment we looked forward to. Equally wonderful was the gracious hospitality of Ushan, who was always there with a warm smile, ready to assist with anything we needed - reservations, recommendations, or simply answering our many questions with patience and kindness. His presence made everything smooth and enjoyable. The Dragonfly Villa exceeded all expectations. Every person we encountered went out of their way to make our family trip very special. We left feeling so lucky and grateful

Ranjan was an amazing host!! He looked after us very well and made sure all our needs were met. The place is so beautiful and also stays cool in the heat which is perfect. Thank you!!

My family had 5 nights in this delightful house which was a perfect antidote to 10 days of rushing around the island of Sri Lanka. It was so relaxing and greatly benefited from having private staff who dealt with everything we could possible have wanted. There is a private chef who went out of his way to prepare whatever we asked for, 3 meals a day if needed. He only charged us for the ingredients required to prepare those meals which included a range of seafoods (e.g. huge prawns and seer fish), fresh fruit and very tasty Sri Lankan main dishes and deserts - nothing was too much trouble and he should be justly proud of his cooking skills, some of the best meals we tasted on our trip. They happily took us out on the tuk-tuk to local shops and will arrange local tours but we were "toured out" by the time we got there. The pool is fantastic (and huge!) and the grounds are constantly maintained by "Uncle". I cannot say anything but positive things, but do bring the bug sprays!

A beautiful and tastefully decorated home, well maintained by a wonderful live in property manager named Jeem, who prepares the most amazing breakfast ! A perfectly restful vibe for the 6 of us to chill at the end of our vacation . . . And walking distance to all the fabulous restaurant recommendations and beach ! We just loved it !!!

Great place, great service, very friendly and responsive crew. The villa was very well kept and the housekeeping services were a great addition. Would recommend this place to anyone visiting Ahangama!!

We booked to nights in Deepika’s beach cabanas. A wonderful place where sea turtles swim right outside your window. Unfortunately we ended up staying only one night. Not due to anything wrong with the cabana it was as described. But we were travelling with a 2 year old child and underestimated the heat without an aircon and the loud sounds of the waves crashing in during the night. Deepika was very helpful and helped arrange a transfer from our previous hotel so we could find et easily and check in went smooth.

We just returned from the most unforgettable stay at this stunning private villa in the south of Sri Lanka, and we’re still floating from the experience! We were 3 families with 6 young kids (ages 3 to 8), and this place was pure paradise for all of us. From the moment we booked, the host Sophie was an absolute gem—warm, welcoming, incredibly responsive, and full of helpful tips to make our stay extra smooth. The villa itself? Breathtaking. Think lush gardens, open tropical spaces, beautifully designed rooms, and a serene vibe that instantly makes you feel relaxed and at home. It was spacious enough for our group to feel comfortable and connected, with plenty of areas for the kids to explore and the adults to unwind. And the staff! So friendly, so kind, and so attentive. But the real star of the show was Dias, the private chef, who absolutely blew us away with his who absolutely blew us away with his cooking. If you’re thinking of staying here—do it. This place is magic.
