Beachfront holiday rentals in South Asia

A beautiful space in an exceptional location. Jharna and Rohan live the sustainable lifestyle and the place reflects the same. They and the team was very warm and helpful and did everything possible to make the stay comfortable. Instructions were / communication was clear and non intrusive giving us a lot of space for chats and catching up. The beautiful coconut grove, sound of the waves, the distant horizon - it's a five star place, just an hour away from Mumbai. Food was fresh, flavourful, well-made and served with love, but being within the sustainable farm-to-table practice makes the menu limited. The surrounds / village has a peace and calm - no activities as such - the property is so good that one may not feel like stepping out. Overall, had a great time with friends. A highly recommended offline recharge.

En Vilasam - a place which made us feel right at home from the moment we stepped in. Ashish and the team were very helpful and friendly in organising the stay. The staff at the villa were very sweet to accommodate our requests. My furry baby was a awesome time running in the garden , beach and watching the fishes in the koi pond. Definitely recommend for people who are looking for an offbeat location and stay.

Siddesh, his team and Clemente are amazing people! Everything I read about the property is 100% true. The food is amazing. The stay is at an untouched location. They were generous to set up a candle night dinner at the beach. We are extremely happy and would recommend it to everyone!

Highly recommend this stay! Our group stayed here for a wedding, and the location was perfect—less than a five-minute drive to the venue. While the entrance is unmarked and can be initially confusing to find, Google Maps guides you accurately. The space matched the photos—clean, with a beautiful pool (perfect for late night swims), property, house, and private beach. The kitchen, living areas, and bedrooms were spotless. The food was outstanding. Breakfast is included, while lunch, dinner, and snacks are affordable à la carte options. Chef Sendhil and his team were incredibly responsive to last-minute requests, from midday samosas to coffee/chai refills. The quality rivaled my mom’s homemade South Indian cooking and truly elevated our experience. The service was exceptional. Whether we needed bug spray or a new WiFi dongle for faster internet, Rekha and Teja responded quickly and efficiently, exceeding our expectations. The staff cleaned our rooms quickly but thoroughly.

The photos on Airbnb don’t do justice to how stunning this villa truly is. The entire space is beautifully designed, with multiple sections—starting from the parking area, leading up to the villa itself, then the pool, and finally direct access to the beach. Each section feels private and well thought out, offering both seclusion and easy beach access. We had an absolutely fantastic stay—completely worth it and highly recommended!

Croco House is a relaxing retreat. You can easily walk to the main area (recommend renting a scooty via Mita) or just spend the day at the house with hammocks, ocean, and good vibes. Nicola was a very responsive host and he genuinely cares about his guests. Having Mita on the premises was a blessing; he is very reserved, helped organize local logistics, and made great breakfasts. The place would be perfect for a small group of friends.

We had five nights at Villananda Villa. We would highly recommend this to anyone looking for a few days of R and R. We had just finished a bike ride through Sri Lanka and were looking for a bit of rest and peace. This place was excellent. Leading up to our visit Martin was excellent in his communication and very helpful. His manager Sampath was also excellent and very helpful organising transfers to and from the villa and also organising reliable Tuk Tuk drivers to take us to places of interest. Nothing seemed to be too much trouble for Sampath. The real gems were the two young men looking after us and the villa. Unfortunately I didn't quite work out their names but they cooked and cleaned and looked after us like family. We ate all our evening meals at the villa from the menu on offer and the food was excellent. Highly recommend the Villa BBQ!! I think it was the best meal we had in our 3 weeks in Sri Lanka and it was cooked on a home made BBQ at the villa. Fantastic!!

The place was just wow , the scenic beach views were so perfect , the sundowner , the morning rise and the , night star gazing all were just amazing , the care taker was so humble and helpful always ready to do things for you , must recommend property for people who love beach and ocean with calm vibes

This place is a true nature lover’s delight, the very definition of a beach house. Nestled among mature trees and lush tropical flora, the property feels like a private sanctuary designed for slow, intentional living. It’s clear the experience has been carefully curated to complement the natural surroundings. Set near a quiet, secluded beach, it’s perfect for early morning walks with the sound of waves crashing reaching the bedrooms. The interior is equally charming - tastefully furnished with pieces collected from the owner’s travels, giving the home a personal, lived-in feel. I especially enjoyed the collection of thoughtfully chosen coffee table books. One on Geoffrey Bawa inspired me to explore his architectural legacy in Colombo, an unexpected and enriching highlight of the trip. The plunge pool is a welcome retreat after a hot day out, offering the perfect place to unwind. Having a car made it easy to explore the area, which is rich in dining options, beaches, and parks.

Our stay at Wigis villa was wonderful. The villa itself is located in a perfect spot allowing you immediate access to the beach as well as the Main Street with all its cafes, shops and restaurants, on the other side. The villa is a haven of tranquility, in the middle of the hustle and bustle of the town. Inside, the house is fully equipped and very well kept. The garden was beautiful and our children had many hours of fun in the lovely pool. Lastly what really made it great was the excellent team on hand. The team prepared beautiful breakfasts each day, together with lunch and dinners on request. Nothing was too much trouble for them. Thank you for a wonderful stay. We hope to be back!

It was a really nice property. Pragati was a great host and was very responsive. She also allowed accepted our request for early check-in and suggested nice local eateries. Highly recommended

What a beautiful place. Light, airy with wonderful sea views. Nissanka and Damnika were stars. Always helpful and available. Great cooking. Easy walking everywhere. Will be back. Only slight downside was that the wifi was erratic which wasn’t great for working.

This was my second stay at Camper By the Bay, and it was just as wonderful as the first! This property is truly second to none—the staff are incredibly kind and welcoming, the food is absolutely delicious, and the atmosphere is perfect for relaxation. My family had such a great time, and we highly recommend it to anyone looking for a classy yet comfortable getaway. It's a fantastic spot for families, kids, and even small parties. The views from the balconies are so peaceful, making it the perfect place to unwind. I can’t wait for my next trip back to Camper By the Bay!

Lovely stay. Location is outstanding, straight onto the beach. Sashi - the house keeper - is as kind as it gets and cooks amazing dishes. We celebrated our daughter's birthday and she came with a gift, not only for the birthday girl but also her sister... So kind.

Serene place, no amount of words can match with the feeling of the place. very thoughtfully designed and decorated.

We had an amazing stay! We are a family of 6 and we had 10 days in Sri Lanka, finalising with 3 days in this top Summer villa. Having 3 staff at our service was a nice add on and made our stay so much easier! Dimension of the rooms and the view were perfect! Pool was great, meals also and cleaning was spot on.

We spent 2 nights in one of the Trigon Huts and enjoyed our stay. It is a true gem, the rooms are very tastefully decorated, you can simply unwind your soul, either in the sun directly on the beach or on one of the many beautiful and shaded seating or lounging options in the shade. Highly recommended if you are looking for peace and relaxation.

Amazing property to stay, if you want to have a peaceful time with beautiful and calm surroundings go for it, the villa is just gorgeous ❤️

We had a truly amazing stay at this accommodation. The place is spacious, clean, and offers a lot of privacy. Having direct access to a quiet and well-kept beach was a real highlight—it felt like our own private paradise. The beds were very comfortable, and everything was just as described. We also rented a scooter through Hajith, which made exploring the area super easy. Even though the scooter was a bit older, it worked perfectly fine for what we needed. The owner and his assistant on site were incredibly kind, welcoming, and always ready to help with anything we needed. You can really feel the care they put into making their guests feel at home. All in all, we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Highly recommended, and we’d definitely come back!

A lovely and inviting place to stay. We had a comfortable night's rest and truly appreciated the beautiful view from the window. The apartment is in impeccable condition, and the host was exceptionally kind and attentive. I highly recommend this accommodation.

Amazing house with incredible views and access to the beach. We loved our stay!

We loved Cocomari. It was beautiful and relaxing. Nice accommodations. Would definitely return to stay again.

Words cannot describe how perfect our stay was. Sharmini was a fantastic host, even before we got there. She was quick to answer my many questions about the villa, the local area and sharing details of companies that could collect our large party of 12 from the airport. Even calling them on my behalf when they didn't respond to my messages. The photos of the villa don't do it justice. The rooms are all a fantastic size, beds and pillows comfy and the bathrooms are wonderful. The location on the beach was just perfect. We were 3 families with 6 children between 2 and 8 and we all spent our time running from beach to pool l. Idilic. But the standout feature of the villa is the fabulous and dedicated staff. Dilu, Milan and Bandu. Dilu could not do enough for us and was on hand, yet discreet. Milan! Well his cooking is easily the best I've had in Sri Lanka. He cooked breakfast, lunch and dinner for all of us every night catering for us all! Our villa stay was perfect in every way!

A hidden gem with Unforgettable Service - Our stay at Thira by the Bay was nothing short of magical. From the moment we arrived, we were enveloped in warm hospitality, breathtaking views, and an atmosphere that instantly made us feel at home. What truly elevated our experience, however, was the exceptional service provided by Omon. His attention to detail, genuine care, & intuitive understanding of guest needs were truly world-class. Whether it was arranging a custom sunset dinner, offering local recommendations by the host, or simply checking in with a warm smile, Omon went above & beyond in every way imaginable. The property itself is beautifully maintained, with every corner felt thoughtfully designed, & the serene sea views were the perfect backdrop to unwind and reconnect. If you’re looking for a place that offers both tranquility & top-tier service, Thira by the Bay is the place to be. And if you’re lucky enough to be hosted by Omon, you’re in for a truly unforgettable exp.
