Holiday rentals with beach access in South Asia

I stayed with my family at Manjul’s place for 2 nights. The location was great, near the beach ( 5min drive). The house was neat clean, caretaker was always there, and had all the required amenities. Also the pool was great. Thanks for hosting us, Manjul.

We stayed at an Airbnb Casa Sqeria, Although the standard check-in time was 2:00 PM, we arrived early, around 10:00 AM. Initially, we just planned to leave our luggage and explore the area, but the caretaker, Shubham and Joel were incredibly kind and welcoming. They arranged a temporary room for us to freshen up and rest, which was a thoughtful gesture and made us feel instantly at home. The room was spacious, clean, and cozy. The bathroom was neat and well-maintained, with fresh towels and toiletries provided. We were also given bottled water. The ambience of the place was really beautiful and peaceful perfect for a relaxing getaway. The property had a warm, homely vibe. There were friendly dogs on the premises, as well as some fishes and turtles, which added a charming and lively touch to the stay. On the terrace, there was a small but cozy swimming pool, ideal for a quick dip and relaxation. Overall, it was a delightful experience, and the hospitality truly stood out.

It was a great place and great stay for us during our recent trip. Penthouse looked as in the listing and was clean. All rooms were very spacious and had thoughtful interiors. Location is very near to the beach and also near to very wide roads. Parking was available. All facilities inside the flat was very good. There was a big pool but we did not use it. Check-in & check-out were smooth. Kyle was very responsive and friendly. He had given some suggestions for food and shopping. Overall, me/ family enjoyed the stay and would definitely recommend this place.

My partner and I stayed here for 2 weeks as we wanted a relaxing holiday to South Sri Lanka. We were very pleased with our stay. The apartment is in a fabulous location making it very easy to walk to breakfast/dinner and beach front bars in the evening. La belle on the doorstep of the place is great for sunset. Gianluca is a super friendly host, was very helpful, always responding quickly, he also arranged a bike for us for our stay which was very helpful. The apartment was cleaned regularly & we were provided with fresh shower & beach towels. Highly recommend staying here.

I had the most wonderful stay at this Airbnb! The property was exactly as described — even better in person. Every corner was beautifully maintained, thoughtfully set up, and radiated comfort and style. It truly felt like a home away from home. What made the experience even more special was the host. Exceptionally kind, responsive, and thoughtful — they went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect for our stay. From small touches to local recommendations, their attention to detail made all the difference. If you're considering booking this place — do it. You’ll be treated to a beautiful, serene space and hosted by someone who genuinely cares. Can’t recommend it enough! A 10/10 experience. 🌟

Run by a nice family who is super communicative and they really make sure you have a good stay there, which we def did. The kitchen was very functional and the washing machine was nice for our stay. I was worried about WiFi as I’ve heard WiFi could be an issue in Sri Lanka, but once the host knew of the WiFi issue they quickly provided another one. As I was working remotely, I had no problems with internet. The hot water was strong and warm which was also nice. The host also said that in the future they will try to add more mosquito nets on the windows/doors. I also enjoy the location as I can take multiple walks to the beach and there are plenty of little local produce shops nearby. A lot more local and less touristy than the tourist strip nearby. I really enjoyed my stay- thank you to the host!

The place looks as it is captured in the photos. The manager - Sushant was very responsive and helpful in finding the venue as well as checking-in. Vikram is a super host, accommodating and helpful. The house was very clean and an all amenities were functional without any complaints. Highly recommend this AirBnB for a convenient and relaxed stay.

We had an amazing 2-day stay at Don’s apartment! The place was spotlessly clean, with all amenities thoughtfully provided. The view was breathtaking, especially at sunset — even better than the photos! The rooftop pool, gym, and secure building made it feel luxurious and safe. I stayed with my parents and we all had the best time. Don was super kind and attentive, checking in to ensure everything was perfect. Honestly, the apartment is a blend of comfort, beauty, and great energy — it’s hard to put into words. Thank you, Don, for such a perfect stay!

Lovely home, Sajeeva was super helpful and accommodating

Had a pleasant stay at the White Villa. The property was clean, well-maintained, and exactly as shown in the pictures. The location was peaceful, perfect for a relaxing getaway. The host was responsive and helpful throughout. Would recommend for anyone looking for a quiet and comfortable stay in the area.

This is the first BnB that I have experienced that is better than a 5 Star Hotel

Sanjana's place is very spacious, clean and extremely organized. Check in is very smooth and the place is located in a very peaceful locality. If you're looking to relax and have a huge, comfortable space all to yourself, go for it! Perfect for a big group.

A beautifully designed house, directly on the sands of a lovely quiet beach. Perfect for swimming, surfing or snorkeling! Views of the ocean can be seen from every room in the house. Our highlights were afternoon drinks in the pool, and champagne in the hot tub of an evening. The house is immaculate, and the staff are so attentive. The chef is fantastic, best meals we’ve had in Sri Lanka! The house is walking distance to great restaurants, cafes and the very popular ‘Doctors House’. Wish we could have stayed longer.

To start with, this house is the perfect getaway for a relaxing yet energizing stay in South Goa. It's located in a prime spot, with beautiful beaches just a short ride away, Palolem is only 4 km (around 11 minutes), Patnem just 1.8 km (about 6 minutes), Agonda Beach 11 km (roughly 22 minutes), and Cabo de Rama is about 25 km away. Shefali has thoughtfully put together a detailed pdf with everything you need to know about the places to visit, eat, and fun activities to try. It made exploring the area so easy and enjoyable. Katja the manager was the heart of the place. She was incredibly warm and kind, always there to help whenever I needed anything. The house itself is beautifully built and decorated, it truly felt like a home away from home. The vibe of the place is something special, I’m still missing it! And Nafisa, another gem in the property made delicious breakfasts every morning, and her lovely smile made my day. Kind people, a fantastic location, and a stunning property!!

Fabulous stay! It's beautiful inside and out. The team is great, everyone is very kind and super responsive. The bedroom by the pool is separate from the rest of the house - this worked perfect for us as our pals had kids and they all had the run of the house. Breakfast was amazing. It went above and beyond our expectations. Genuinely thinking of booking again for the autumn.

lovely place and fantastic hosts with friendly and accommodating housekeeper. walking distance from many dive centres. a quiet and spacious space, quite unlike any regular housing you would find. but the quiet may come with some downside as it is a little further distance from many amenities and restaurants within the area. a great spot for quiet reprieve nonetheless

One of the most memorable vacation stay with my family. Mesmerizing beach view, cool sea breeze along with the pool. Peaceful nights and cherishing mornings

We recently stayed for a day at Zaf's property for our US consulate visit and had a great experience. The apartment was clean and cozy. Very tidy and well equipped Airbnb apartment.Moreover, Zaf is super responsive and provided with all the information we needed. Also his staff (guest relationship manager)is very helpful. Overall it was a pleasant stay !! :)

Had a great stay! The apartment was clean, cozy, and thoughtfully done with little touches like snacks, chilled water, and even an umbrella that made us feel instantly welcome. It’s in a great location too, super close to most of the places we wanted to visit, including cafes, shops, and key sights around Pondicherry. Dipen was a fantastic host! very responsive and helpful. His list of recommendations for cafés and things to do really came in handy. We had a last minute change in plans, and he generously offered another property without any prior notice, which we’re extremely grateful for. He was also kind enough to accommodate a late checkout, which made our departure so much smoother. A big thanks to Jacqueline Akka as well. She was incredibly sweet and showed us around the place, making sure we were comfortable and knew how everything worked. Overall, a lovely and relaxed experience. Would 100% recommend this stay to anyone visiting Pondicherry!

The Apartment was really clean and compact. It very well matched our expectations. The host Mr.abhay was friendly, very responsive and easy to reach. He also helped us get a rental bike to roam around the city. He gave us a guide book which contained all the main things that we might be interested to do in the city, which helped us a lot. We really enjoyed our visit to pondicherry and will definitely stay again here if we get to visit the city again sometime. The stay just felt like home.

I absolutely loved the stay! The place was exceptionally well-equipped with everything I could possibly need, making it feel just like home. Cleanliness was truly up to the mark—every corner was spotless and well-maintained. What stood out the most was the warm, positive vibe of the entire space, which made the atmosphere so relaxing and enjoyable. It was a peaceful and refreshing experience overall, and I would gladly return or recommend it to anyone looking for a perfect getaway.

overall we had a very pleasant stay, we did not face any issue at all. everything was well communicated and taken care of. The place is located nicely near to the beach and great restaurant yet distant enough to have a pieceful vacation without any noise There are ample great spots to hang out in evening or at the beach - everything was 5 mins away would highly recommended if you are planning to stay in palolem

It was a pleasant stay, the property was exactly as shown in the pictures. Location is very convenient and easy to find. Beaches nearby, the balcony view is amazing. The parking is shaded and inside the property so feels very safe for own vehicles. Swimming pool is well maintained and it is really big swimming pool as in photos it looks small.

I had a great stay! The host was very nice and helpful throughout my visit, which made the experience even better. The place was clean, comfortable, and exactly as described. Overall, a good stay - I would definitely recommend it to others and would be happy to return.
