Beach house vacation rentals in Ranna

The White House Lodge was amazing. Janaka and his family made us instantly feel welcome and at home. The apartment is quite spacious and you'll be provided with everything you need. the terrace is very beautiful as well. Everything in Madiha is in walkable distance. Janaka helped us with tuktuks and car rides as well.

Celine was an exceptional host who made our stay in Sri Lanka truly memorable. Her hospitality was second to none — warm, thoughtful, and genuinely caring. She was always available, greeting us personally each morning and evening to reconfirm plans and ensure everything was running smoothly. Her attention to detail and consistent communication made us feel completely at ease throughout our trip. Celine went far beyond what one would expect from a host. She offered fantastic local recommendations, personally took us around the area, and even accompanied us on a grocery run — a gesture that meant so much. Thanks to her, we experienced the real Sri Lanka, not just as tourists but as welcomed guests. I came looking for a place to stay and left having found a friend. Thank you, Celine, for everything.

It was a pleasure to return home to such a nice house. One of the best I've stayed in.

I had an amazing stay at ISI Villa Dikwella! The villa is exceptionally clean and well maintained, with comfortable rooms and beautiful beachfront views. Its location is perfect right on the beach and within walking distance to shops, restaurants, and everything you need. The host was outstanding, providing excellent communication and support throughout my stay, making everything smooth and stress free. I highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a peaceful, convenient, and well cared for getaway. I’ll definitely be back!

Villa is really nice! Property well maintained. Guardians can arrange everything what you need. They made us 2kg fresh lobster for only 40$. We are a filming company and wanted to make a story about the son of the guardians (he is a fishermen) went on see with him to catch some fish and filming his life story. Tuk tuk’s are available at the property gate. Ocean is in front. There are some cool bars nearby like: the doctors house. Ruzaik arranged our PCR testing for our return flight and we didn’t had to cue for hours!!! Big plus!

Lucas place met our expectations. We loved the privacy and location amongst the locals. We loved spotting all the beautiful birds and wildlife in the backyard. Waking up to the birdsong in the morning was so very special. Nimesh and Niroshi went above and beyond to make us feel like home. The home cooked meals were delicious. We were a group of 7 and all had enough room and space to feel at home. We all can’t wait to visit again!

We were lucky and were able to check in early. I was sent all the information I needed on a w***e. Upon arrival, we were met by Guyan and Irish. Irish was very kind, we saw him every day when he came to clean the area. Having a pool is an absolute plus in this villa. We bathed in it both morning and evening. The sea is a 3-minute walk. At this time, it is not crowded and almost all the beaches are not crowded. It is better to move around the tangalle by bike to visit various beaches and cafes. We walked from the villa to a lovely restaurant in 10 minutes. In general, we did not regret it at all and remembered this villa for the rest of the trip.

We had a marvelous time at the Firefly villa. The house is really well furnished, and feels super welcoming and cosy. Patricja shared a lot of tips regarding local restaurants, activities and points of interests. She clearly contributed to make our honeymoon a remarkable experience. Would definitely recommend.

an excellent property, just as good as the photos. watching the sun go down over the water from the Infiniti pool each evening was a dream. all rooms are large and spacious. the all glass construction maximizes the beautiful views from every part of the property. the on site staff were very helpful and attentive. with the property being large and elevated, it was one of the few locations we were able to play music loud on the large speaker we brought, both indoors and outdoors, whenever we wanted without having to worry about disturbing neighbors too much which was great. the only negative is with all that glass the building can become a bit of a greenhouse in the hot sri lankan sun. A/C is sufficient in the bedrooms but it can get a bit uncomfortably hot in the main living room in the afternoons even with the A/C on max all day. Dinesh informed us they are working on adding additional A/C. In all, a fantastic stay, would definitely stay again, especially great for large groups.

We had a wonderful stay at this two-story house. The property is spacious, well-maintained, and located in a beautiful area. We especially appreciated the peaceful surroundings and the helpful communication with the host. Just a small tip for future guests: be mindful of keeping doors and windows closed, as the local wildlife is quite active. Overall, a great experience, and we would definitely consider staying here again!

Thank you for a truly magical stay. My family and I had a wonderful week at your property — it was both relaxing and memorable. What made our experience even more enjoyable was your incredibly welcoming staff. A special shoutout to Dinesh, who was outstanding throughout our stay. His kindness, helpfulness, and ever-present smile made a real difference — he truly deserves recognition for his efforts!

We had a great stay at Hiriketiya Studios! Our room was very clean, had all the amenities we needed and the pool was lovely! It is a short walk to both Hiriketiya and Dickwella beach’s. Above all, Nishan was an excellent host. He was very friendly and had lots of recommendations for us! Overall, we’d recommend staying here :)

A great stay by the ocean. I loved going to sleep to the sound of the waves and watching the turtles right out the front. Lots of food and bar options within walking distance. Definitely recommend!

We ended up changing our accomodation and are so thrilled we found Cheryl and Donna’s place. It’s a beautiful, spacious and clean villa with all amenities you’d need for a short or long term stay. We were travelling with our 2 young children and both absolutely loved it. The location is perfect, a short walk down the hill to get to the beach and close to some really lovely restaurants (including Raa which is a must visit!) There are 3 very friendly dogs that live on the property so if you’re a dog person you’re in for a treat! We ended our 10 week trip at this villa and were so glad we did, if we ever come back to Hiri we will 100% stay again.

Great place to stay. Very close to silent beach, only a few minutes by foot. One of the most beautiful beaches we have seen here. Closeby to a local store and tuk tuks for easy transport. His family also supported with a taxi service, very friendly and reliable. Would highly recommended staying here.

The villa is adequately provided and well equipped . If anything is required to suit your taste then Aravinda promptly arranges the same . We spent nearly 34 days at this villa and it had become a second home to us. 2 bedrooms were provided with AC and the 3rd bedroom was provided with desert cooler. For longer stays the electricity is billed to the guest. Our bill was @14000 LKR for the entire duration . We used only 1 AC as only 1 bedroom was utilised by us. We didnot use any electric cooking gadget , even though all kinds of electric ovens were there. We used only the cooking gas stove and gas cylinder was provided by Aravinda . The front lawn is green and Aravinda takes responsibility to get the lawn cleaned once every week. Be careful of red ants though :-). Aravinda took us for a familiarisation ride of the locality on our 1st day . He also picked / dropped us from/to airport in his sedan at very low cost. We definitely would like to come back again!

New big spacious house with everything you need for a long stay. Very nice and helpful host. Would definitely recommend.

The place was definitely the most beautiful of our whole trip. It looked exactly like the photos and we felt incredibly comfortable! Drinking his coffee and breakfast on the beautiful terrace in the morning was a highlight. The host and staff were very nice and picked us up from the street with a tuktuk, for example, when we didn't find the entrance directly. We were also able to rent scooters directly via the accommodation and organize tuktuks to the next place. Unfortunately, there are not so much in the area except for a few restaurants (which are great) (no real shopping), but e.g. Jungle Beach is only a few minutes away on foot and incredibly beautiful!

This was hands down the best spot we found in Hiriketiya. It's just far enough from the busy center to enjoy total peace and quiet, but still only a 5-minute drive by bike to all the beach vibes, cafés, and restaurants Hiriketiya has to offer. The place itself is beautiful—super clean, modern, and brand new. The view is absolutely stunning, and waking up to the sunrise right from bed was a daily highlight. The hosts were incredibly kind and welcoming, always happy to share tips and help with anything we needed. We felt very well taken care of. Highly recommend this gem if you're looking for a calm, comfortable, and scenic stay in Hiriketiya!

It was a perfect stay! House is very spacious , AC is working well, you will find plenty of utensils in the kitchen. There are comfortable two bathrooms to use with friendly baby gecko to help with mosquitoes 🥺 within the walking distance you can find serene beaches and good places to eat. Host was caring and welcomed us with lots of freshly picked bananas, not to mention about great feast he made for us one evening, he is a great Chef!

We had the privilege to stay at Prasanna's place for a long period of time. We were there to work, mainly. We love this place so much, that we didn't want to leave. The place is spacious, with 2 separate bedrooms and bathrooms. I have no words to describe the outdoor kitchen. The calm and peace of this outdoor space is incredible. The place is at a few minutes away from the beach. The area is less touristic, mixed with Sri Lankan people who welcome you. But what makes this place more than special and unique is how incredible Prasanna is! hes an outstanding host. He literally did EVERYTHING to make our stay at his place memorable. He was always there to help us out. Even if sometimes I felt bad I ask him too much, he always looks happy to help us out in everything we needs. Prasanna friendliness and presence made him a truly special host. I really felt like home, and welcome. I am really grateful and privileged to have stayed to Prasanna place. I can't recommend this place enou
