Aquaria 2 Bedroom
I had a wonderful stay at the Airbnb apartment in Aquria, Nawala. The place was spotless, modern, and had everything I needed for a comfortable visit. It’s in a peaceful location but still close to shops and restaurants. The host was friendly and responsive throughout. My only hiccup was with one security guard—short guy with sunglasses—who seemed to forget I was staying there and gave me a bit of a challenge getting in a few times. All part of the adventure, I suppose! Still, I’d definitely recommend this place and would happily stay again. Thanks to Seth and team for everything! 😊

Deep Blue Colombo Seaside Luxury Apartment
For the dehiwala apartment review : The apartment was clean and well presented. We enjoyed watching the sunset each evening from the balconies which all have an ocean view. The location was great, the bedrooms and aircon comfortable and the bathrooms were clean & fresh. The hosts were responsive and flexible giving us a late check-out as there was no booking after us. The assistant organised for check-in and check-in was easy to liaise with.

We had a fantastic stay at Tash’s place. The apartment is beautiful, spacious and has very comfy beds. The view from the balcony is even more impressive in person. We enjoyed sunbathing and using the pool on floor 6. Tash relplied to our messages quickly, was very helpful and left clear and precise check in instruction. She also very kindly allowed us to have a late check out. Thanks so much Tash!😊🙏

Waterfront house rentals

Bolgoda Grand - Luxury by the Lake
Very spacious villa with a great view. The pool was amazing.

Minnehaha Bentota
We stayed here for a friend's wedding in Bentota. It was an excellent place to stay and relax following all the events associated with a South Indian wedding. The location was a bit out of the way - our initial Uber there wound up charging us extra because we had to go up a dirt road - but Edward was very accommodating and put us in touch with a few tuk-tuk drivers who took us to and from the different events that were planned. He even drove us to an event himself when we couldn't find a ride. The food was also quite good - every meal had a spread of Sri Lankan dishes cooked from locally sourced ingredients. He shared the proposed menu with us and adjusted it after learning that our party had three vegetarians.

Jayasiri Riverfront Home
The host is enthusiastic.

Private Luxury Villa 007B
We enjoyed the house very much. There are 2 huge rooms available, each of which has large very good air conditioners with outdoor air. On both floors have bathrooms, which has proven to be very convenient. The view from the upper level is breathtaking: the plant variety to the left and right of the property; the river; the adjacent jungle behind it and wonderful sunsets. The property is very private overall, you only see a fishing boat passing by from time to time and the 3 employees (managers, housekeepers and chef) are extremely discreet. The chef of the house is amazing! He conjured us up unique srilankan meals 3x a day - and on request not only Reis&Curry, but that was also the madness! Issues will be resolved immediately by Eric. We took a boat trip along the river from our own jetty and saw crocodiles, monkeys, owls, chameleons, warans, flying and eagles. We highly recommend the place!

Villa by the Lake Bolgoda, Moratuwa - Colombo

Waterfront condo rentals

Beach Condo, Miami Vibes, Sea view, Rooftop Pool
Where to start, what a great host, cozy place, felt serenity and place like more than home. Since i booked n approached her, she was very responsive , allowed early check in. She has decorated each n every item in the apartment with special attention and theme. Right from main door till all rooms, beach theme pillows, wall decoration, special souvenirs from across the world, beach theme kitchen cabinets. The place is just few meters from beach, great views of the sun set and beach around and roof top pool of course is a main attraction.. I am thankful to her for being such a great host I would not even think to go anywhere else next time i am in Colombo .
