Villa holiday rentals in Matara

Wow just wow! From the moment we made contact with Eranga we were so well looked after. Even before we got to the wonderful house we were had our transport organised to take our family of 5 from Colombo Airport to the AirBNB we were then helped with settling in and greeted with coconuts. Whether it was hire cars, recommendations for activities such as releasing baby turtles into the ocean Eranga was our guy! The house itself has everything you need and is spacious clean and tidy thanks to daily visits from lovely helpers around the house and garden. Air Conditioning is amazing and works really well. The ocean is steps away from the house which is situated in a surfers area. Make sure you visit the Sandbank restaurant for well priced food, music and Thursday night ping pong tournament. Peacocks running in the garden and the friendliest dog ever. We loved this place and would return in a heartbeat! Thank you for making our Sri Lanka trip so memorable. Just amazing!

We had a wonderful stay at Villa Noumi, the staff were friendly, kind and responsive. We were welcomed with cold towels, juice and a fruit basket (5 star welcome). The villa itself was very clean, the photos are accurate! The breakfast and dinner we had in the villa were wonderful. The kids were well catered for with a massive box of lego and some toys/card games which were well used after beautiful morning swims at secret beach. Overall I would recommend this place to families or a few couples or even friends. Well located and a short tuk tuk ride or short walk into town and the beach. Thanks for having us!

2nd time we’ve stayed at the apartment, but first while Andy has owned it. Andy has improved the place greatly and all works well and comfortable. 5 min walk to Hiri beach and 10 Dickwella beach. Perfect for various restaurants. Would certainly go back.

Stayed for 5 to 6 days. Enjoyed every moment of it. She gave us Scotty also, made us breakfast. Superb host

Wil je gegarandeerd de beste plek van de regio? Dan is deze plek voor jou. De ligging is werkelijk geweldig. Alles is op loopafstand maar toch helemaal privé gelegen. We verbleven met 4 kleine kinderen en 4 volwassenen. Heerlijke tijd gehad. Jude de gastheer was geweldig. Ook heeft hij (maar vooral zijn vrouw) heerlijk voor ons gekookt.

Overall we had a great experience, was there for my bachelorette and the staff really put up with us. Only complaints- a few of the lights and fans were not working and were not fixed. We were definitely given tap water, one of the can was filled with tap water, I’m assuming they ran out of water in the night and one of the staff had no choice but to serve us that. Would still give the stay a 5 star review was the host was kind enough to help with local recommendations and the staff was there to help whenever asked.

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.

Priyanthi’s place was absolutely perfect for our stay in Hiriketiya! It was exactly as described, very modern and we were greeted with fresh coconuts and flowers on arrival which made us feel so special and welcome! We had beautiful hospitality & service from Priyanthi’s son who was always on hand to help us with anything we needed and provided lovely, authentic breakfast in the mornings. We would highly recommend this place to anyone staying in the area! Thank you so much to Priyanthi & family for a lovely stay - we will be back! :)

What can I say, but.....wow! we had 5 kids and 4 adults on our holiday and this house could not have been more perfect. The amazing breakfasts every morning, teh huge pool, teh cleaning service done beautifully each day. wow. wow. wow. loved it all. Thank you!

Wir waren zu fünf Personen dort und haben zwei Nächte in der sehr schönen Villa in direkter Nähe zu den Stränden von Hiriketiya verbracht. Wir wurden sehr herzlich und hilfsbereit vom Team empfangen und Alles war perfekt hergerichtet. Die Ausstattung ist in sehr gutem Zustand: Bäder, Wasser, Ventilatoren, Klimaanlage, WiFi, Küchengeräte haben alle einwandfrei funktioniert. Wir konnten endlich unsere Sachen waschen und nach vielen Tagen Rundreise entspannen. Sehr zu empfehlen, den Preis wert und sehr netter Kontakt zu Vermieter, Manager und Team!

Stayed for 2 nights as a group of 5 friends and overall had an fantastic experience. The home was spotlessly clean, spacious, and really comfortable for our group. The location was ideal, just a short walk to the beach and close to great brunch spots. The outdoor pool was a real highlight for us. It was clean, well-maintained, and was perfect to enjoy in the evening. The host was also great, very friendly and responsive and stayed in touch throughout our stay. They also provided a helpful recommendation leaflet with local tips which really appreciated. Overall, a fantastic spot for a fun and relaxing getaway with friends. Many thanks!

Clare’s place was everything & more than what we were expecting. The villa is absolutely beautiful, set in the most peaceful & tranquil surroundings. Nuwan’s cooking and hosting was the cherry on the top of our experience. Tushara also really looked after us. We were able to organise 3 private yoga classes & a massage - personal highlights of my stay at the villa. All of the above meant that whenever we left the villa, we wanted to get back straight away to our private paradise even though Ahangama is a great area to visit. Highly recommend staying and experiencing the beauty of Villa Sisila!!

The villa was absolutely beautiful — but what truly made it unforgettable was how close it was to the beach. I already miss the feeling of simply stepping out and jumping straight into the ocean waves. The villa itself was spotless, well-organized, and thoughtfully designed. But most importantly, the staff completely exceeded our expectations. They were warm, incredibly helpful, and always eager to make sure we felt at home. No request was too much — they always said yes with a smile, even when we asked for everything under the sun. Honestly, they were the heart of this experience and made our stay even more special and memorable. The only small downside worth mentioning is that the plumbing could use a little attention — nothing that ruined the stay, but something to be aware of for future improvements. All in all, I wouldn’t hesitate to come back — it was a truly wonderful experience.

Fantastic stay at Talaramba Reef! We had a large family gathering for 3 nights (9 adults and 5 children) and booked both villas. The villas were beautiful, thoughtfully decorated, very comfortable, with lovely and immaculately kept grounds. The place was very spacious and it felt very relaxing, and the pools were very pleasant. Ranjith and his team were incredible. They were kind, friendly and went out of their way to make sure we had a memorable stay, including helping to organize a party and putting up a lovely banner. The food was also exceptional and great value for money. We cannot recommend this place enough!

We stayed in Hiriketiya for a few days in early April and had an amazing time in the area. Siri the housekeeper really made our stay, he was amazing helping us with any house questions we had as well as giving us recommendations in the area and telling us fun facts about Hiriketiya.

We had a wonderful stay at this Airbnb! Our family came together from four different countries, and this place turned out to be the perfect spot for us to reconnect and relax. Jerome and his staff were incredibly warm, helpful, and attentive throughout our stay — always ready to assist with anything we needed, while making us feel right at home. The space was clean, comfortable, and full of thoughtful touches that made a real difference. From local tips to delicious meals and friendly check-ins, everything was handled with genuine care. We’re so grateful for the hospitality and will definitely remember this experience fondly. Highly recommended!

The Airbnb is located strategically between Mirissa and weligama. Main attractions are very close , beach, supermarkets all are very close. It’s a very beautiful property with aesthetic decor. Sahan and his father are always at your service ! Recommend

This is the villa to stay in Ahangama. You get COMPLETE privacy (which is hard to come by in Sri Lanka, absolutely no one bothering you) your own pool area. The ideal set up for families, friends or couples traveling. My partner and I stayed here and it felt like we were in a dream. There is the sweetest family across the street that ALWAYS has Tuktuk’s and can help you with transport. Chaz is so responsive and there was fruit and wine provided on arrival which was such a treat. If you want to do Sri Lanka the right way, stay here.

This is such a great stay! Awesome surf break right in front of the house and super comfortable house, pool and nearby cafes and yoga for non surfers. The house is beautiful and Madhu and the team will cook you anything you want (just pay the ingredients) so it’s super affordable to eat. You can watch him cook and learn Sri Lankan curries. Really sad to leave and we’ll definitely be back!

We hebben met ons gezin een fantastische tijd gehad in villa Salina. Het is echt een aanrader om in dit huis je vakantie te vieren. Iedereen stond voor ons klaar. We hebben fantastisch gegeten. Heerlijk gezwommen.

Nous avons passé un agréable séjour ! La vue était juste magique et les équipements proposés suffisants pour passer un séjour confortable. Nous avons particulièrement apprécié les petites attentions à notre arrivée : fruits, livre d'accueil, jumelles, etc. La piscine était également au top ! Toutefois nous avons trouvé la proximité avec les voisins un peu dérangeante certains jours puisque nous pouvions entendre les conversations et musiques aux alentours... Dommage pour un cadre aussi paisible et reposant dans une telle villa 😉 Néanmoins nous vous apprécié nous faire réveiller par les oiseaux chaque matin et découvrir divers animaux dans notre jardin. Nous remercions également vivement les hôtes pour leur flexibilité quant à l'heure d'arrivée et de départ du logement 🙏🏻

Amazing stay. Dd has been amazing from the day I made the booking. Chaminda who’s at the property has gone above and beyond to make our stay better. Would highly recommend this place to anyone.

We had a wonderful stay at this lovely house in Mirissa! The home was very clean and comfortable, with excellent air conditioning in the bedrooms to escape the heat. The living areas were cooled by ceiling fans, and the windows in the stairwell were open to the outside. The hosts were incredibly attentive—each morning they came to prepare a delicious breakfast for us. There was also the option to have our rooms cleaned daily, which was a nice touch. The pool, while small, was perfect for cooling off and the kids absolutely loved it. It made a great spot to relax after a day out exploring. There are a couple of fantastic local restaurants within walking distance, which made dining out easy and enjoyable. Accessing the beach was a bit tricky as you need to walk through private properties, but that seems to be common along this part of the coast. Overall, a relaxing and well-hosted stay—highly recommended!

The house was absolutely stunning amidst 7 acres of green lush gardens. Everything was exquisitely decorated making it the perfect sanctuary to relax and enjoy Mirissa. Close to Mirissa beach and also 10 -15 min walk to secret beach so lots of options nearby. Jankana and the team made delicious meals for us every day with an abundance of choice and variety too! Jankana offered us great local recommendations too for surfing. Laundry was also returned back to us within a few hours which was so welcome after a week on the road. Just such a special place!
