Family-friendly vacation rentals in Batigama

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.

We had a lovely stay at O2 villas in Weligama. The place is so very beautiful. Situated right by the river, and with just a couple of minutes walk to the beach. The two-apartment-villa that our family stayed in was spacious, superclean and seemed almost brand new. The interior decoration was also very tasteful, modern and stylish, like a smart boutique hotell. We cooked several basic meals in the kitchen and felt we had everything we needed. The aircon was both superefficient and quiet and helped creating a good night's sleep. The view from the house was just amazing. The garden is a true paradise, an oasis of palmtrees, fruittrees, outdoor furniture and even a barbeque. We saw monkeys and beautiful birds. Every night our host would light torches to light up the magical garden. The sitting group down by the river offered a cosy setting for an evening drink. Our host spoiled us by bringing coconuts, papaya and other fruits for us to eat directly from the garden. Our friendly host really did everything to make sure we had a wonderfull stay, answering attentatively to even the smallest of wishes. Only once did he not have the information we were looking for - we asked for advice on where to go for snorkling - but only an hour later he had done some research and even presented a brochour to us and offered his assistance in arranging it for us. He was indeed very serviceminded and helpful to us! He also helped us book whale-safari and he arranged a very nice river boat-sightseeing, as well as organized tuc tucs for us. We must mention the beach as well. It is a gorgeous sand beach with warm and inviting water. There were not that many people on the beach, and only a few smaller hotel with restaurants, so not much of a nightlife, which we appriciated! The whole area felt very genuine and unexplored, as well as safe and friendly. We stayed for 6 nights and can really recommend this great place.

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.

We had a fantastic 10-day break at this beautiful villa. The setting is amazing, overlooking the infinity of the Indian Ocean, with the calming sound of the crashing waves. The sea was too rough for a swim but the beach was perfect for a walk. The garden is lovely, the pool is a welcome escape from the heat and the house itself is spacious enough for everyone not to be in each other's way. We had so much fun during our stay - massages in the garden, wandering the neighbourhood and meeting the locals, visiting nearby beaches (Dickwella beach was our favourite, especially with young kids), safari, releasing baby turtles in the sea, boat trips, etc.... Last but certainly not least - the lovely staff. The hospitality offered by Suneetha, Ajith and Ari was truly special. They are all lovely and looked after us so well. Apart from the delicious food they prepared daily, they arranged our trips, transport, etc. It was hard to leave and tears were shed at the end. We'll be back, for sure!

The location was very good and the host helped us through all the decisions for our travel itinerary

Jeewantha is a fabulous host - great communication and very helpful. The villas are very spacious and situated in lovely surroundings. The setting is very peaceful and a nice refuge from the busyness of Weligama. Can highly recommend.

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.

Absolute paradise! This place had everything we were dreaming of and more. Beautiful surroundings, amazing pool, incredible beaches around, super nice and discreet staff and three adorable dogs, which is definitely a plus point to feel at home! CJ went out of her way to help us settle and feel comfortable, it was truly a memorable stay, thank you for everything!!

out of All the Stays in SriLanak (under 20€/night) we have been in, this was the best. Very nice and helpful Host, stunning breakfast and other offers right at the place, as in cool water, or free snorchels. Vottage was clean and we had no Problems whatsoever 10/10 would recommend

This was our favorite guest house during our two months in Sri Lanka, it is clean, spacious, kitchen is well equipped for cooking and the garden is beautiful (our 3 year old loved it), also Prageeth is a great and kind host. We stayed at Prageeth's place for almost two weeks and didnt want to leave. Yes, Mirissa beach is a little far (about 8 minute ride with bus or tuc tuc) but there are also local wild beaches nearby (I also recommend to check out Polhena beach which is same distance as Mirissa beach). Also there is a great restaurant (Zephyr) in about 5 minutes walk which I highly recommend as the food there was delicious. Also a small shop, meat shop, fish and vegetable stands are very close. Overall a highly recommended place.

This place is so beautiful! In the jungle, peaceful, lovely dogs around, sounds of nature, no traffic! Rooms are big and spacious! It’s two floors with each a bathroom, bedroom and kitchen. We only used one floor, downstairs! Orcheedas Mum lives next door, she speaks no English which is absolutely fine - we always found our way doing laundry together or whatever we needed! I really recommend this place ☺️

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

Fantastic last 5 says What an amazing lady my host is. Felt at home very and veey safe. makes the best curry lve ever tasted. cant wait to come back and see everyone miss you guys already x

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!

Stay was beautiful, compact and full of amenities. The bnb was a little hard to find especially in the dark- would suggest putting a glowing board sign at the turn from main road for ease. Other than that , everything was perfect. And the host was very helpful and kind.

We stayed 2 nights at Casa MiJa, and totally loved every minute of it. Mani, caretaker for the villa was very helpful and made the entire experience worth it. He made sure we were at ease at all times and sorted anything and everything out for us that we needed any assistance with. The villa was amazing, and the location was perfect. Beautiful beach adjacent to it. The only drawback of it was the common areas of the villa do not have air conditioning, so with the weather running quite hot; we couldn’t use it or spend as much time there as we would have liked to. If they can fix that, this would be the best villa to stay at in the area. Everything else was amazing. Would definitely want to stay here again when I’m back in Mirissa, Sri Lanka.

We had such a fantastic time in Muhudu Niwasa. The property is located right by the beach with a beautiful garden ladened with coconut trees. The setting was perfect for us to truly unwind and enjoy the beauty the place had to offer. The property had plenty of rooms and beds and the view from the master bedroom with it's long balcony was breath-taking. We went as a group of 7 (incl. 2 small children) and the property catered for what we all needed. Spending time in the swimming pool was a special highlight as both our 5 year old and 3 year old developed a love for swimming while we were there. We felt safe at all times with plenty of activities nearby. Most of all, a very big thank you to Pradeep and Tharakka who took care of us exceptionally well. They were courteous and available and made us feel right at home. We also went kayaking with Pradeep twice as it was such a great experience. Tharakka also took us around in his tukuk which was practical and a lot of fun.

The Lakeview Villa is a stunning, secluded (despite being not so far away from the closest town) property. Garden is extremely well kept, the interior is well thought out giving the building soul which other more modern villas usually lack. I could spend days marveling the view from the pool. The staff are kind and welcoming. Lesley is a great host, responsive at all times. And my favorite part of the stay - Sonali’s cooking - she is a master of her craft and treated us to dishes leaps and bounds ahead of anything else we ate on the island. The food itself is worth the visit to the house. Do not hesitate to book this property!

Beautiful house and garden. We felt totally at home, and so well looked after. There is a caretaker who lives in a house on the grounds so you have the peace of mind that there is someone there should you need anything and he keeps the place secure. We also had a team come every morning at whatever time we wanted to make us the most amazing breakfast- pancakes, waffles, fruit, roti, dahl, eggs, tea etc. It was a 10 min walk to the shops and beach and easy to grab a tuk tuk back when we wanted. Air con was great. Pool was beautiful. Monkeys and peacocks entertained us in the morning. Can’t fault the place.

The beautiful Beach House - Reef House - is located in a quiet spot in Madhia overlooking the ocean. The location is around 20 to 25 minutes drive to Mirissa beach with Welligama beach little further ahead. The location worked perfectly for us since our intention was mainly to relax and step out for short outings. While one cannot swim in the ocean in front of the house, we enjoyed the soothing sounds of waves & dips in the pool. The reef house is tastefully done, comfortable with basic amenities including good wifi. There’s a room on the ground floor which is perfect for elderly guests or anyone who might find stairs challenging. Swell cafe for coffee fix is right opposite the house. Charitha is cordial, prompt with replies & is available to answer queries. Indika is kind & took excellent care of us. Siri cooked us delicious meals. This was our first time living with pets and to be honest Gaston and Bella were a delight to have around. We had memorable stay at the Reef House.

We rented the Moss Villa for a whole month and absolutely loved it. The garden and pool are beautiful and well maintained — a peaceful oasis just 5 minutes by bicycle from awesome surf spots and Ahangama town. It’s quiet, yet close enough to walk or cycle anywhere, with tuk-tuks always available too. The villa had everything we needed: comfy beds, a fully equipped kitchen, good Wi-Fi, and a stunning outdoor area. Our 3-year-old also had a great time! The owners were wonderful — great communication from booking to checkout and always helpful during our stay. We’d definitely come back and highly recommend it!

Amazing place. One of our best stays after using Airbnb for years. Loved the place, great location, such helpful hosts. Would come back in a heartbeat.

The location of the house was absolutely stunning. Right on the beach which was empty and felt like our own was dreamy, peaceful and idyllic. Lakmal, Dulan and Nihal were so helpful and attentive to all our needs. The breakfasts and dinners Lakmal made every day were absolutely stunning! We had so much variety and a real taste of Sri Lankan cuisine. They looked after us so well and arranged tuk tuks for us when we wanted them. It’s worth taking toiletries as these weren’t provided but honestly i would absolutely recommend this house as a great base to do a morning safari and enjoy the peaceful surrounds. Great value for money!
