Family-friendly vacation rentals in Weligama Bay

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.

Beautiful garden view and perfect location near the beach. This place is ideal for families, as well as for those who enjoy yoga, morning rituals, or simply a peaceful retreat. It’s located on the quieter side of Weligama Beach, which makes it perfect if you're looking to relax away from the crowds. The owner is genuinely friendly and helpful, making the stay even more pleasant. Highly recommended for anyone seeking a calm and cozy spot close to nature and the ocean.

The villa is in a beautiful surroundings, overlooking a rice field. The villa is very spacious with swimming private pool. We thouroughly enjoyed out stay here. Christa was very helpful. The helper onsite is really very helpful, and responsive. Only negative I would say is it was far from attractions and main city. Beach is around 4 kms and getting a transport here is a challenge. Booking vehicles in advance to move around could help. The approach road is narrow around 100 mts from the main road.

One of our all-time favourite accomodations, from over 40 countries visited. What we loved: - falling asleep with the sound of waves, which was perfect (not too loud, not too low) - our mornings and sunsets on the terrace of the building - the location inside the forest, and on top of the cliffs - nature all around us, with nice fauna (varan, monkeys, peacocks, small birds) visiting us. Don’t worry, there is nothing dangerous, they avoid people - The access to the cliff which is just a couple of steps away from the villas. Very good place for sunsets and meditation after - The pool is really nice for relaxing swimming at the end of the day - Near 2 beaches : Jungle beach (amaaaazing place) and Unawatuna beach, also very nice - Small cozy restaurants just outside the villas - A lot of space inside, very comfortable beds & pillows - The host and personnel are top-notch. Hospitality at next level. It was my wife’s 25th birthday and they helped us make it memorable. Great experience!

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.

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 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!

We vacationed as a family of five in a cottage on Kabalana Beach. The location was superb—only ten meters from the beach—and featured a charming garden that stayed cool in the shade even on sunny days. Although the cottage was simple, it provided everything necessary for a comfortable stay, and we thoroughly enjoyed our time there. A special mention must go to the outstanding manager and chef, Susil. His warm and unobtrusive manner, coupled with genuine care for our children, made our visit both unforgettable and exceptionally comfortable. Every day, he prepared delicious meals with love and resolved any issues with ease. Owner Amit was also very responsive, ensuring a smooth check-in process and continuous assistance. The only minor drawbacks were the nearby road and the somewhat dark interior, but these were easily outweighed by the prime location and Susil’s remarkable hospitality. Our children still fondly remember their time there and eagerly await a return visit. Thank Susil 🤗🥰

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

Beautiful place, wonderful pool, comfortable beds, relaxing atmosphere, helpful staff and enough space for everyone to chill out - what more could you ask for? And all just a 15-minute tuktuk ride from Galle Fort history or Ahangama bars.

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

We had a really nice time in Karin hair. Everything is perfectly fine and clean! Nice beach within walking distance and everything is easily accessible with the tuktuk driver. Sathish the house manager was very friendly and easily accessible with questions.

We had six lovely days at the villa. It’s right on a quiet beach, and a five minute walk to see the turtles! Sunil’s breakfasts were amazing and he was always willing to help. Would definitely recommend.

Our family of four absolutely loved Cecilia’s house. It is located in the middle of the paddy fields with lots of nature and wild life to enjoy. During our three day stay we saw peacocks, fireflies, giant lizards, squirrels, monkeys and a giant spider! Just be warned that there are also many mosquitos in the house so bring your bug spray. Cecilia’s staff were also very attentive who prepared us nice Sri Lankan dishes for breakfast and dinner. They made our kids separate western dishes. Thank you Cecilia!

Great place. Right on the beach with a gate that provides complete privacy. Even with the direct proximity to the beach you feel safe and the entire resort has a great chill vibe about it. The waves are great for fun, body and surf boarding and as our close friends said “they just keep coming, it’s relentless fun” and the cool pool has a perfect temperature to plunge into after the sea. Lots of little cafes, bars, restaurants, surf schools and shops all outside the front door. The supermarket is a 10-15 minute walk or a short tuk tuk ride, selection isn’t that good and was about the only negative side of what was a very successful and relaxing week for Mums and Dads, whilst the teenagers were kept happy with the sea, pool and of course, a bit of internet time!! Lastly, the house team were always helpful and obliging to assist and guide. Thank you to them and the evening guard who keeps you safe after a hard day in the sun. We will be back…..

This place is beautiful beyond words. The staff here make it the ultimate holiday experience. The food that comes out of the kitchen is delicious both western and local food. This place is simply hospitality done well. We hope to return ❤️

We had the most wonderful stay at Etamba House. This Geoffrey Bawa inspired property is beautiful and even better than the photos suggest. The rooms are huge and tastefully decorated with an elegant nod to Sri Lanka's past. The bathrooms are inside/outside with beautiful showers and plenty of space. The service from Michael and Shehan was exceptional. Breakfast is different each day with a set menu but they're flexible to your requests. the dinner that Talakshi prepares is wonderful (the portions are huge!). Can't say anything bad about this place. Go and stay there. Enjoy this beautiful home and the peace and quiet that surrounds it.

We really enjoyed our stay at Bianca's place. Everything was so easy and the place is amazing. Bianca and her team were very good communicators and responsive. We spent a lot of time walking on the beach and swimming in the pool and exploring the area along the coast, which was exactly what we wanted (and one big highlight of our trip!) The breakfast provided was great - fresh fruit especially! And we also used the laundry here, which was easy and really nice. We tried many of the restaurants nearby and had a good experience - delicious food! We would love to come back here on our next visit to Sri Lanka. High recommend!

Sathish’s property is in a very nice peaceful location and a pleasant 20 minute walk to Turtle beach. The main shopping area of Unawatuna is about 4 km away and easy to get to by tuk tuk. The swimming pool is very refreshing and the house had everything our family of four needed for a very enjoyable stay. Highly recommended especially if you prefer a peaceful setting.

An eclectic Villa in the midst of nature and tranquil surroundings. The Villa spotless clean with great individual furniture in all rooms. Great verndah to sit and soak in the surroundings. Nice pool with loads of privacy. Asanka the caretaker is very responsive and discreet and keeps the place ticking . Kanthi rustles up some amazing cuisine whether for breakfast , lunch or dinner … short distance to the beach and restaurants etc … Highlight was the in house dog Patsy .. in all a perfect getaway !! Well done Olivia for making it a home away from home…
