Apartment in Weligama
5 out of 5 average rating, 16 reviewsO2 Villas - Three Villas Entire Apartment Weligama
晓艺Rating, 5 stars2 months ago
一个大庄园,环境非常别致优美,里面有椰林,芒果树,杨桃树……地段也非常棒,紧邻海边,服务非常热情,宾至如归,也非常个性化,因为去观鲸回来晚了,多给我们一间房子延迟退房。可惜在酒店呆的时间还不够多,没有足够时间享受这么美好的环境。非常推荐。

4.25 out of 5 average rating, 4 reviewsO2 Villas - Mirissa Two Double Rooms
PerRating, 5 stars88 months ago
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.

O2 villas are great to stay at peaceful location next to back waters. The rooms are well equipped with all necessary things for a comfortable stay including cooking stove and utensils. The host Mr Jeewantha ensured our stay is comfortable and helped us with places to visit in Merissa, eating outlets and options etc. Overall a great place to stay.

LucyRating, 5 stars1 week ago
PERFECT !!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Sahan and family are so lovely and greeted us with a coconut each on arrival. Throughout our stay they have been so friendly and even invited us to their family meals but sadly we already had plans with family visiting us so couldn’t attend. The location is wonderful, right opposite the beach and in the heart of Madiha close to everything. The decor and cleanliness of the property was a 10/10. The listed amenities and property description is spot on and we were not disappointed. We really wanted to extend as we loved it so much but unfortunately it was already booked up so we have arranged to come back next season to see them & stay again!Thank you so much, we can’t wait to come back again :)

EliRating, 5 stars6 months ago
Eine sehr entspannte Unterkunft und super gemütlich. Sie ist noch schöner als auf den Fotos. Der Strand ist direkt hinter dem Garten und ein paar Gehminuten entfernt gibt es ebenfalls einen schönen Strand mit weniger Steinen beim Einstieg. Saskia, Chethanas Freundin, war super lieb und freundlich und hatte sehr viele Tipps für die Umgebung. Ihr Frühstück war sehr lecker und sah zudem auch wunderschön aus. Wir können die Unterkunft auf jeden Fall weiter empfehlen und würden wiederkommen.

Dulshan and Lisa's vacation rental is a very cool flat with a very high design. It seems to have just been completed, so everything is new and clean, which surprised me. It was very comfortable, so I extended my stay longer. The location is also perfect, just 1-2 minutes from Hiriketiya beach. There are many restaurants, cafes, grocery stores and liquor stores around the vacation rental, so it's perfect. The Hiriketiya surf break is just around the corner that perfect lefthander peel off from the cape. Dulshan and Lisa are very quick to respond to messages, so any problems you have can be resolved instantly. Hiriketiya is an up-and-coming beach resort that can be enjoyed by all ages and genders.

SvetlanaRating, 5 stars5 days ago
Nous avons passé un très bon moment chez Luca. La maison a tout ce dont vous avez besoin pour passer un excellent repos. Vous pourrez observer les quelques animaux qui se promènent librement dans le jardin. La piscine est un gros plus dans la chaleur du Sri Lanka. La maison est incroyablement propre et les gens qui y travaillent sont très gentils. Nimesh vous aidera avec toutes vos questions, vous pouvez le contacter à tout moment. Il nous a emmenés changer de l'argent, nous a montré où se trouvaient les meilleurs endroits pour dîner et a organisé toutes les excursions pour nous. Il s'est également occupé de notre voyage et est venu nous chercher à l'aéroport. Tout le long, nous avons pu profiter des merveilleux dîners préparés par Nirosha dont un excellent barbecue de fruits de mer. La maison est très bien placée : seulement à quelques pas de la plage et de tous les restaurants/boutiques. N’hésitez pas à réserver votre séjour au sein de cette maison, c’est un véritable petit paradis.

HelenRating, 5 stars1 week ago
We had the absolute pleasure of staying at Andy and Daniel’s beautiful pool house, and we couldn’t have asked for a more perfect getaway. From the moment we arrived, we felt incredibly welcomed – Andy and Daniel are the kindest, most thoughtful hosts you could hope for. The pool house itself is lovely, and especially our daughter very much enjoyed the pool. We tried the home cooked breakfast and dinner as well, which was delicious! Andy went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed, and her warmth and hospitality made our stay all the more memorable. It’s rare to find an airbnb that feels so effortlessly welcoming. Can’t recommend this magical place enough!

Wir haben 3 Nächte bei Tommy und seiner Freundin verbracht. Für uns der schönste Aufenthalt unserer Sri Lanka Reise! Tommy und seine Freundin sind tolle Gastgeber, super nett, hilfsbereit und freundlich. Die Kommunikation war super! Jederzeit erreichbar. Das Haus ist mit so viel Liebe zum Detail eingerichtet und absolut sauber. Der Garten ist ein Traum. Das Meer direkt vor der Haustür. Auch die Lage ist unschlagbar. Wir waren auch im Milky Waves essen (Restaurant der beiden, um die Ecke) - probiert bitte das Eis! Der Wahnsinn. Der Aufenthalt war eine 12/10, wir können die Unterkunft wirklich von Herzen weiter empfehlen! Wir würden jederzeit wiederkommen.

Asanka was a great host. He was super helpful, from the moment he picked us up from the train station. He showed us his city, and clearly explained everything about his apartment. The house is spacious, with plenty of room to spread out. There's a comfortable lounge and TV, while the bed was really cosy. The Wifi was excellent, and the location was perfect for us, close to the bus, but nice and quiet, with loads of birds and squirrels. The balcony was our favorite spot for meals, which we often prepared in the kitchen. We would return here without hesitation.

Nice budget-friendly place to explore Weligama! A scooter will come in handy, as you are a little bit outside the centre. The kitchen and the bed are great. There is warm water and the hosting family is kind and attentive. It is basic, but convenient. Good value for money.
