Vacation rentals in Mawarala

Absolutely faultless experience. The beautiful house and excellent team of staff exceeded all of our expectations. We were incredibly comfortable in the spacious and beautifully designed and furnished house and gardens. The house managed to combine all of the above whilst allowing us to feel completely ‘at home’. Sunil, the on-site villa manager, was always able to help and guide us with all our needs for transport and excursions etc. Sunil is also a wonderful chef. He cooks with skill but also with love. We felt very well looked after. He and his team kept the villa spotless and were kind and friendly throughout. We hugely appreciated the effort they made to help us celebrate our daughters birthday whilst we were there. Would 100% recommend.

We had a lovely stay here! Such a clean apartment, and so nice to have the pool and gym on site. Our host was so friendly and always answered our questions quickly! She also got us all a little gift each, which was so sweet of her❤️ couldn’t recommend this place enough.

We had a really pleasant stay at Villa Candlelight. The property is beautifully maintained, offering a perfect blend of comfort and charm. One of the highlights of our stay was the indoor pool—it truly added an extra touch of luxury and made our experience even more enjoyable. The villa is also conveniently located, with easy access to the market area, making it simple to explore the surroundings. Highly recommend for a relaxing getaway!

Want to keep this little gem just to myself!!!! This is by far the BEST Airbnb we have ever stayed in. Just perfect!!! Feels like someone lovingly designed and furnished this beautiful space for himself and then decided to rent it out. No detail spared, maximum comfort, beautiful inside with a gorgeous pool and garden outside. And the staff is the cherry on the cake. From the cook who comes with breakfast every morning, to the gardener and caretaker. And then there is Mr Bandulleh, the property manager, a retired Maths teacher. Felt like my two girls were being looked after by a grand father. Mr Bandulleh took every care to watch over us, make sure the Tuk tuks came on time and dropped us at the right place. One night during a heavy storm, he even offered to go out himself to get us dinner 🙏 this level of care is over and beyond. We did not want to leave Lavonra and will surely come back. Thank you once again for this most magical of stays.

One of my best stay in Sri Lanka. The apartment is fully equipped for a long stay. Everything new and clean. And in a walking distance to the Galle Fort. I highly recommend this place.

We had the best weekend trip at Habamonkey! We had traveled in from Colombo early and Helen was fantastic and let us check in early. She was very responsive and welcoming. The house itself is amazing - the pool and outdoor shower were perfect. You are tucked in nicely to a peaceful neighborhood so we felt relaxed the whole time - and it’s decently close to a quiet, clean beach!

Fantastic Villa, the pictures don’t do justice to the place - it’s better than what can be seen here. The area outside is peaceful and surrounded by lush greenery and the property grounds are perfectly landscaped with a beautiful swimming pool and outdoor seating area. The living room and kitchen are fantastic and all essentials are well stocked up. The bedrooms and bathrooms are also up to 5 star quality with clean soft linen. No problems on water and no problems on electricity. The staff doesn’t fully understand English but enough to get through and very helpful. Only draw back is that it is 15-20 mins away from Unawatanu / Galle so you need your own transportation.

very beautiful village with amazing View in Balinese Style. superfriendly host and staff. my favorite place to stay in Sri Lanka.

This is a great villa just 10 minutes from Galle by car/scooter. It's located on a very small and quiet village street with very few neighbours. There's another house adjacent to the villa, so you won't be totally isolated, but for sure this is the right place to have a rest from crowded streets and beaches. We were surprised how good the villa is – it's newly built, very well designed and has been quality constructed. I can't but mention nice furniture and real flowers/decorations all over the house. This villa definitely has good vibes. It feels spacious and has big living area, big kitchen, bathrooms as well as decently sized bedrooms. Terrace is a great place to enjoy your morning and evening meals. You may often observe monkeys jumping on the trees, sometimes very close – it's a lot of fun to watch them. Luckily they are not spoiled and don't come too close to the house. The biggest downside for us was a poor bedrooms soundproof – the doors have false shades without any barrier, effectively you feel like you have open doors. I'm sure for some early birds this is a nice feature as you can enjoy nature sounds both in the evenings and mornings. We are late sleepers, so it was a bit difficult to get used to this feature – both birds and village people start their day around 5-6 am. The same false shades may let some spiders/geckos inside. There's no A/C, but it's not a deal breaker as we have kept many doors open during a day and there was a lot of fresh air. In the evening ceiling fans in the living area and master bedroom cool the air down. The villa is supported by Danuka's family, not just himself, and they are all very kind people, really trying to do everything to make your stay comfortable. The family lives just a few houses away, so they're always available. We enjoyed Danuka's mom breakfasts and also asked her for a traditional rice&curry dinner. Just few kilometers away are ancient buddhist temple and a hand weaving factory, which the family kindly showed us. Both were very interesting experiences. All in all, it's a great place to stay, we'll have a very warm memories about it.
