Family-friendly holiday rentals in Weligama Bay

A large manor with a very unique and beautiful environment. There are coconut groves, mango trees, and starfruit trees... The location is also very good. It's right next to the beach. The service is very welcoming. It feels like home. It's also very personalized. Because we came back late from whale watching, they gave us a house to check out late. Unfortunately, there wasn't enough time to stay at the hotel and enjoy such a beautiful environment. I highly recommend it.

The place was lovely, right on the river front and absolutely peaceful. Its also very close to the beach and we would definitely recommend the place. Somehow the tuktuk price around the area were pretty outrageous, so if you have a rented or owned vehicle, it’ll make things a lot easier but that’s not on the host, they were absolutely amazing.

This house is excellent! Place, nature, beach, and all of things are very comfortable and nearby the house. When we were planning our trip we looked at photos of this house and thought that it is smaller and has small garden, BUT there is a big garden with hammock and beautiful lights outside, the house is very big. We’ve saw a lot of friendly black monkeys, peacocks, chipmunks and other animals - it’s awesome. When you planning to live in this house - you should have no doubts - it is modern, comfortable and friendly place with GREAT host Ravindra! He became our friend and helped in all things that we’ve asked. Thanks a lot, my friend, we’ll try to get back! In Russian: Friends, photos of the house belittles its coolness, everything is much better than in the photos. There is a large garden, a "swimming" beach with a maximum of 5 minutes on foot, shops nearby, everything is convenient, to Weligama 10 minutes by tuk tuk, to Mirissa 20 minutes by tuk tuk. Close to the villa surfing beach and a bunch of fun spots like Chiki Monkey. Host Ravindra is just top notch. If you are thinking about this villa - take it boldly, it is very nice, the house has everything you need. There is a house nearby where locals live - they are very kind and helpful in the house (they clean and look after the garden). There is a hammock in the garden, and maybe a swimming pool will appear soon, as the host Ravindra said. We stayed there for a month at eight - everything was cool. We recommend it unequivocally.

The villa is in a beautiful surroundings, overlooking a rice field. The villa is very spacious with swimming private pool. We thouroughly enjoyed out stay here. Christa was very helpful. The helper onsite is really very helpful, and responsive. Only negative I would say is it was far from attractions and main city. Beach is around 4 kms and getting a transport here is a challenge. Booking vehicles in advance to move around could help. The approach road is narrow around 100 mts from the main road.

One of our all-time favourite accomodations, from over 40 countries visited. What we loved: - falling asleep with the sound of waves, which was perfect (not too loud, not too low) - our mornings and sunsets on the terrace of the building - the location inside the forest, and on top of the cliffs - nature all around us, with nice fauna (varan, monkeys, peacocks, small birds) visiting us. Don’t worry, there is nothing dangerous, they avoid people - The access to the cliff which is just a couple of steps away from the villas. Very good place for sunsets and meditation after - The pool is really nice for relaxing swimming at the end of the day - Near 2 beaches : Jungle beach (amaaaazing place) and Unawatuna beach, also very nice - Small cozy restaurants just outside the villas - A lot of space inside, very comfortable beds & pillows - The host and personnel are top-notch. Hospitality at next level. It was my wife’s 25th birthday and they helped us make it memorable. Great experience!

Me and my girlfriend stayed here for three months. We had a wonderful time here. Dharme and his wife are very friendly. They tried their best to make it as comfortable as possible for us. We would definitely recommend this place.

We had a wonderful stay at O2 Villa. Jeewanthi was a wonderful host and did everything he could to make our stay more comfortable. He met our driver on the road to guide us to the property. It’s off the main road and tricky to find initially but it’s a blessing as the property is a peaceful oasis away from the noise of the roads and town. There is a train track running nearby but we barely heard it and it passes very quickly. Look both ways when crossing the tracks and the road. The bathroom is large and very clean with plenty of hot water - one of the best we’ve experienced since arriving in India a month ago. The air conditioning works perfectly and is very quiet. A necessity in Sri Lanka for us northerners. The wifi is the best we’ve had in a month. We only used the kitchen to prepare fruit and snacks and it was adequate for that. Fruit and water can be bought from a lovely lady on the main road 150 metres from the apartment. The beach is a ten minute walk across the tracks and main road and is almost deserted. There is a small beach bar with chairs when you arrive at the beach and for the price of a drink you can stay as long as you want. They like everyone else on the beach are offering surf lessons as well. When we return to Sri Lanka we will be sure to stay at O2 Villa.

A very perfect accommodation experience. This is the cleanest house we have ever stayed in. There is no dust anywhere visible to the naked eye or in any corner. The landlord, Jeewantha, is very warm and friendly. The house has all the facilities and kitchen utensils you need. It is within walking distance of the beach and there are many restaurants nearby. It is a perfect holiday choice

We had a lovely time at Luca's place. The house has everything you need for a great rest. You will be able to observe the few animals that roam freely in the garden. The pool is a big plus in the heat of Sri Lanka. The house is incredibly clean and the people who work there are very nice. Nimesh will help you with any questions, you can contact them at any time. He took us to change money, showed us where the best places to dine were and organized all the excursions for us. He also took care of our trip and picked us up from the airport. Throughout, we were able to enjoy the wonderful dinners prepared by Nirosha including a great seafood barbecue. The house is very well located: only a short walk to the beach and all restaurants/shops. Feel free to book your stay in this house, it's a real little paradise.

We had a nice time. The garden is huge and the house was clean and we had a lot of space as a family. You can explore the surroundings on foot. Restaurants, supermarkets and the beach can be explored on foot. A great neighborhood and most importantly a very calm one. We felt very comfortable and would come back anytime. The family even made us breakfast in the morning, which was incredibly delicious. We are very sad to have to go and keep the house in beautiful memory . See you soon , Anna and Tim

Absolutely loved staying here. It’s a perfect space for a couple. The kitchen had everything you need and it was extremely clean. I would definitely stay here again.

Very private and comfortable space 5 minutes walk from Kabalana beach. Garden is huge and nicely shaded. Outdoor shower. Nice upper and lower balcony. Very lovely place

Loved our stay at Villa Sepalika! The location is amazing - an oasis of calm and green with the odd peacock and monkey to add to the tropical holiday! The pool is outstanding and the lawn is great for games (if you can tear yourself away from the beautiful big verandah!). The staff were lovely - they made sure we had everything we needed and the cook was superb! Thank you for a lovely stay and we look forward to the next time!

The stay was absolutely wonderful. The villa is stunning. Sanjeeva is the caretaker and is absolutely fantastic, so helpful in ever way. The location is quite rural which made it feel secluded but in a lovely way. thanks

Such a beautiful place with peaceful waterfront location, we stayed with a big group of 29 adults and south point villa and south point ocean was able to accommodate all of us very comfortably. We had a great time swimming in the pools and the ocean, taking sunset walks on the beach. The staff are lovely and work tirelessly to meet our needs, we had a wonderful stay and are already looking forward to returning next year.

Amazing house with even prettier garden! You have a place for yourself, away from the street but close enough to the supermarket (2 mins) and the beach (1,2 km). The place is calm, private, you can really enjoy your stay in peace and calm. For this amazing price I don't think we could find a better place to stay!

We’ve just come back from an amazing trip to Sri Lanka, and we stayed for 6 nights at Gaya’s wonderful home. We loved it; the location feels remote, but it’s only a 10min walk to the beach/restaurants etc. Every morning I’d wake up and have a coffee on the veranda, overlooking lush greenery, peacocks, cattle - not something you get in everyday life. The staff were very helpful, and the accommodation was comfortable, clean, and is a wonderful option if you’re looking for a self-catering home stay. A big thank you to Gaya for letting us stay, we hope to be back soon!

I had a very good stay at Jacky's place. The room was quite large with a full functioning kitchen and living room. The bathroom is large as well, hosting a convenient washing machine . The shower had excellent water pressure with an inline water Hester that you control for instant warmth water. The property is unique in that it has a full size 25m swimming pool with multiple lanes. Being a swimmer, this was a big factor in my stay. The location is a little remote and sits on top of mountain. There is supermarket less than 800m away, but may be a challenge for some walking up and down the mountain. Most of the restaurants and places you'll want to visit are a few km's away. Expect to use Uber regularly or rent a motorbike onsight from Jacky, which I did. Overall, I was pleased. The location fit my needs as I was visiting a friend who lived nearby. The location may or may not suit your needs. I found the value to be very good for the area. I would stay here again.

The treehouse is an amazing place to stay for exploring the south coast of Sri Lanka. The location is very private and enclosed but still close to the towns of Unawatuna and Galle. The treehouse itself was very clean and had everything we needed to cook and even have a BBQ! The pool was a great size and depth with a cool rope swing. The hosts were very helpful and attentive, with a very friendly doorman. We wish we could have stayed longer as this was the highlight of our trip.

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!

What an incredible few days at Kirigedara! The house is even better than what you see in the photos. Harsha, the caretaker and chef went above and beyond to ensure our stay was comfortable and happy. I will forever cherish all the incredible food he made for us. He was always present and available. The house is stunning and in a very peaceful location. It is away from the town and there’s not a lot of restaurants around but we were just happy enjoying the villa, Harsha’s food, the garden and the pool. I would recommend better maintenance of the cushions/couch in the living room and Cabana. Already missing the sounds of the birds and the lush green surroundings. I can’t wait to be back!

We had the most wonderful family Christmas at Villa Olu. The villa exceeded our expectations - the photos don’t do it justice! It was the most perfect setting for relaxing, having fun, playing games and not to mention the incredible family meals prepared and cooked by Kumara and Nadi!Experiencing the delicious traditional Sri Lankan cuisine was a huge highlight. Kumara could not do enough to help us - book tuk tuks, arrange massages at the villa and arrange transport. The villa is incredibly peaceful yet only ten minutes from Galle where we enjoyed visiting shops, sites and cafes. We would not hesitate to stay at Villa Olu again, what a super family holiday!

Peaceful place, stunning views and relaxed outdoor lounge area. Honestly a great find, away from the hustle and bustle, yet so close, just a tuk ride away. The pool is small, but quite deep and most importantly, shaded and refreshingly cold. But what we enjoyed most was that auntie made us feel right at home with lovingly prepared food.

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.
