Vacation rentals in Southern Province

A very clean and cosy villa located a short walk from the beach. Close to many surf-schools and restaurants. Sahan was a great host and ensured everything was clean.

Our stay at The Dragonfly Villa was nothing short of amazing. From the moment we arrived, we were wrapped in a sense of calm and beauty that only a place like this can offer. The villa is simply breathtaking — elegantly designed with stunning details, lush surroundings, and peaceful spaces that made it a true escape. A standout highlight was the exceptional cuisine lovingly prepared by Nayana. Each dish she created was bursting with flavour — fresh, comforting, and unforgettable. Every mealtime became a moment we looked forward to. Equally wonderful was the gracious hospitality of Ushan, who was always there with a warm smile, ready to assist with anything we needed - reservations, recommendations, or simply answering our many questions with patience and kindness. His presence made everything smooth and enjoyable. The Dragonfly Villa exceeded all expectations. Every person we encountered went out of their way to make our family trip very special. We left feeling so lucky and grateful

We stayed at Aether Hilltop Villas for 4 nights and honestly, The views were amazing, the vibe was super peaceful. It’s one of those spots that actually looks better in real life than in photos — which is rare! This stay completely exceeded our expectations. Would 100% come back and recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful escape. Also What really stood out was David’s hospitality, you can tell he truly cares about the guests and puts so much love into the place.

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.

Thank you to Shafeena, Sahal and the team at Buona Vista Heights for providing one of the best holiday experiences we’ve ever had. The property, staff, surroundings far exceeded our expectations. The food was exceptional - we ate out a couple of times but quickly realised that the best food was cooked by Sahal and his team at home. We experienced delicious Sri Lankan cuisine including chilli fresh crab. Communication was excellent from the moment i booked the property which was very re-assuring having never visited Sri Lanka. All our excursions were arranged through Sahal, including a day trip to Yala National park - this made it so easy for us to make the most of our time in Sri Lanka. The property is so peaceful and a sanctuary but only a short tuk tuk trip to the hustle of Unawatuna shops, bars, restaurants and beach. We were a group of friends travelling from Australia, Uk and Dubai and we have all agreed that we will return. Thanks again to all at Buona Vista

We absolutely love this place and could not recommend it enough. The team at the property have made this stay very unique and enjoyable. The breakfast was amazing and the chef changes it everyday. We had a whole beach to ourselves and the dogs were very friendly. The property is very well kept and feels like you are a part of nature with monkeys appearing throughout the day. The beach was beautiful and we saw turtles twice during our stay. Swimmable area just along the beach which was perfect. Beds were very comfortable with fan. All the food cooked was delicious and some of the best we had in Sri Lanka. We will most definitely be back.

We booked this stay due to close proximity to safari park, however Banyan Camp ended up being the highlight of our trip. The pictures do not give this place enough justice. The surroundings are breathtaking and living so close to nature. We loved the open bathroom concept and the hang out spots, the camp is eco and uses repurposed materials, we loved the tranquility. The design of the camp is stunning and located right on a fantastic lake, we went paddle boarding everyday, sunrise nd sunset are magical and they catered dinner on a raft. The hosts was so friendly and gave us so many recommendations. Food served at the camp is Vegetarian and some of the best food I have had, delicious.

We had a fantastic stay at the villa. Clemence was very responsive, and the two helpers were always available and cooked excellent meals for us. The house was a dream - beautifully designed with great attention to detail which sets it apart from other properties in the area. It’s spacious, well-equipped and everything was in great condition. The location is also great, a short walk from the sea. A very comfortable and well-run place - we’re already looking forward to returning to this or another property owned by Clemens
