Villa vacation rentals in Rekawa Lagoon

The Box House is one of the most amazing Air BnB’s I’ve ever stayed in. In terms of design it is a unique house and the pictures capture the scale perfectly. The villa has full staffing led by the lovely Dhilan who is a great chef, concierge, butler all rolled into one. His Sri Lankan dhal, omelette, and moju are perfection! This was an RnR break for the family and Box House ticked all the boxes. The pool is HUGE and the ground lovely. Everything was on hand for us to unwind and switch off for a few days. Kasun handled all pre booking comms promptly and was very helpful. Three of the five bedrooms have their own entrance so this makes the property perfect for larger groups. I have a couple of suggestions for the hosts to elevate Box House even further. If air conditioning can be added to the main room it can increase its usability and families can have a central space to come together. Second, a small menu stating Dhilan’s specialities in Sri Lankan cuisine will be very helpful.

We had an absolutely fantastic stay at Villa Heaven! From the moment we arrived, our host Sandu made us feel incredibly welcome. The house itself is super nice—beautifully designed, spacious, and equipped with everything you could possibly need. What truly made our stay special was the exceptional hospitality. Our hosts took such great care of us, even preparing delicious meals and providing snacks—everything our hearts desired! Their kindness and attention to detail made us feel at home. We would come back in a heartbeat. Highly recommend Villa Heaven to anyone looking for a perfect getaway!

Our stay in Ratnakara Villa was awesome! The place is enormous and for our little group of 5 people it sometimes felt a bit too much) The best feature of the villa is the gorgeous infinity pool and a nice patio around it. The kitchen and the main hall were also spectacular but we didn't spend time there due to the great weather outside. The rooms were clean and spacious, but for us living by couples having two king-size beds was overkill (I'm sure there's a case when you need to have two big beds in your room 😅). The staff was really polite and friendly, the food was great and the good value for the price. The only two concerns that we had were a lack of AC in the rooms (there were big fans, but it's not enough in my opinion) and the nearby beach is not suitable for swimming. Aside from that everything else was super. Definitely recommend this place for everyone, who wants to have a luxury experience and the European service in Sri Lanka!

I almost don't want to review this as I would like to keep the place a secret but that would be selfish! We couldn't recommend staying in Whispering House more. Upal and his son were incredible hosts, cooking us delicious breakfasts. The house was spacious and perfect for our 2 year old to run around in, and the pool was great and a safe distance away. The location was perfect for us, restaurants close by but also quite quiet. Beautiful beaches along the coast too made for great day trips. upal sorted us out with everything we needed including a lovely lady who came and cooked for us and helped look after our child in the afternoon. Really couldn't recommend this more if you are looking for a family holiday in a stunning location with lovely lovely people.

Nice big and clean place. Very suitable for groups.

The highlights of our stay at Machan Villa were the surroundings and our hosts, Yasith and Soma. We spent a lot of time on the property, enjoying the pool area and beautiful gardens. The property is very private and borders "the jungle" so there was lots of animal life( birds-peacocks, monkeys, lizards). The bedrooms were very comfortable and the bathrooms were large and clean. The kitchen could use some upgrading. There is no microwave and the barbeque and some appliances are looking pretty worn. Yasith and Soma were excellent hosts. They provided wonderful breakfasts every morning ( we did not need lunch!) and cooked great seafood dinners. They took great care of the grounds, pool and house while we were there. They also provided transportation and offered to book tours for us if we wished. We hope to return to the Villa some day!

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

A heaven in tucked in lap of nature. Opt for Sajeevi’s property if you would like to wake up to greenery all around you. Loved how the house if thoughtfully designed - airy and open. The best part about the place is the your own infinity pool. The property is at about minimum of 15 minutes of distance from the beach and you would need transportation to reach to beach or any other place. Cannot forget to mention Lalit who cooks amazing Srilankan curry and hoppers. Lalit will make will effort to make sure you have the best of the time at the property.

Our group stayed 4 nights at Simon’s house in Kalemetiya. What a treat ! we felt like movie stars with their own private beach front home. The house is large and well appointed with 4 well spaced bedrooms with en suite. The house has a large lawn from the rear leading to the beach with a pool area a children’s pool, a covered veranda and then a small wooden fence leading to the ocean. We would get our massages in the covered area, listening to the waves and also do yoga there. Dinesh and Runi took amazing care of us. Rooney cooked our breakfast and did laundry and kept the place spotless. Dinesh arranged massages, recommended restaurants drove us to Colombo. He also hosted our driver and Guide. Simon, the host was responsive and flexible. In the morning, you could walk along the beach and see the villagers fishing with their traditional boats. The beach is very clean. It is very wavy and not the best place for swimming, but you can definitely take dips. An amazing place.

Very nice house and beautiful beach. Perfect for a family holiday

Lookout is categorically the best place to stay in Dickwella or Hiriketiya - if you don’t believe me go on google maps satellite and look around - there is no where else with an amazing pool and beach access. If you are choosing between Dickwella and Hiriketiya - trust me, choose Dickwella. It’s the far more beautiful beach to wander and enjoy beautiful sunsets with or without a cocktail. With all its natural advantages, the actual villa is perfect - 4 massive rooms with aircon, big bathrooms, lots of storage space to unpack, big living space, great covered terrace downstairs to eat under and balcony upstairs that rooms along the 3 rooms up there. The pool is brilliant, with padded sun loungers for everyone and sun all day. Staff were the best bit - incredible chef, cooked anything well but the Sri Lankan meals were incredible, Sam, our butler, made everything a joy, and the rest of the team were great - super friendly. For kids - perfect - cribs, toys, food, nanny’s nearby.

10/10 Before the stay I was in contact with Bárbara who was super helpful in answering all My questions. The villa is fantastic, spacious rooms. 3 rooms have the shower outside which we thought was quite nice, kids loved it. The staff was great and always Polite. They helped us with everything we needed. Place was spotless for us every day. They also cooked great meals for us. Special mention to Sumudu the villa host, he was amazing and quick to learn what we liked (for example bringing us coffee early morning while we waited with the kids for the staff to cook breakfast) The pool was great ( just beware if you’re with kids the concrete floor outside of it was super slippery, bring rubber shoes) The house is close to Mirissa beach by car. But is a little more difficult if you’re walking down. Also- if you have toddlers- there’s a lot of staircases and the pool is open, so bear it in mind you’ll have to keep a constant eye on them. We had a big group of 11 and we had space to spare.

This house was great! Beautiful location, private but within walking distance of restaurants etc. all though the good prepared by the chefs were so good that we had all our meals at the villa:-) Super Nice and attentive staff!

We stayed in Hiriketiya for a few days in early April and had an amazing time in the area. Siri the housekeeper really made our stay, he was amazing helping us with any house questions we had as well as giving us recommendations in the area and telling us fun facts about Hiriketiya.

We loved our stay at the Palm Lanka. Beautifully designed & decorated house, well located near beach & cafes. Suresh and Manel were the highlight, making us feel so welcome & comfortable. The meals - breakfasts & dinners - were amongst the best we have had in Sri Lanka & Suresh was extremely helpful with any requests we made. Highly recommend!

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.

This place is amazing! An absolute paradise. The caretaker Anith is extremely helpful and arranged local recommendations for us for some lovely meals out. The beaches that are so close by are stunning.

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 were so lucky to discover the Coconut Cottage as our first place to stay in Sri Lanka! Andy was an incredible host, booking us transfers from the airport, meeting us at the house on arrival, sharing a wealth of local knowledge and was super friendly and responsive during our stay. The house is only a two minute walk from the beach, cafes and restaurants of Hiri and very clean and stylish – and we all (family of four) loved the pool and back garden (and watching the monkeys swing around in the trees!). Thank you Andy and Sachira for a fab stay! Would highly recommend.

We had a wonderful stay at Soleil Villa. The house is beautifully decorated and we were welcomed with homemade sweets and fruit juice. The beds are king size and super comfortable, the kitchen is well equipped and the pool in the second floor is private and super refreshing! The couple cooked us a dinner and we also ordered a delicious breakfast in the last day. I totally recommend you do that!!! Besides all the commodities listed, we could also use for free two bikes that were super useful to visit the surroundings. We biked to Mirissa, Matara and Madiha, and took the train to Weligama. The hosts were super available to answer all our questions and help in anything we needed during the 4 day stay. If you are looking for a place to rest in a quiet and joyful neighborhood, this is it :)

I had an incredible stay at this beautiful property for two days. The private beach was a dream, and I had the once in a lifetime opportunity to witness turtle hatchlings making their way to the ocean at night. It was truly magical. The Sri Lankan food prepared by the cook was absolutely delicious some of the best I’ve ever had! The staff were extremely accommodating and went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed, they also arrange a candle light dinner I highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a peaceful, unique getaway!

The Green House is a little oasis of calm from the hustle and bustle of the busier parts of Sri Lanka. Immaculately presented with three great bedrooms with ensuite shower rooms, the house is clean and modern. All the staff involved in looking after us and the house were also a real delight - so accommodating and helpful in every aspect. a short walk to a wonderful beach which the kids loved made this one of the best places that we stayed in during our whole trip. Thank you everyone at The Green House!

I am a solo traveller and had all the best intentions of travelling Sri Lanka. Having fell in love with the coast, I decided to change plan and book a villa for a few days. Wow, blown away by this place. Exactly like the photos, if not better. The beach is so private and love that you can see the waves crashing from your bed/outside dining area. Very well thought out. What made this extra special was the service levels from Charith, what a top guy! Nothing was too much trouble. Very responsive and attentive but always respecting privacy. Thank you for making me feel at home and so well looked after. Outside the villa, lots of lovely cafes and restaurants within walking distance. My first time in Sri Lanka but I’ll defiantly return. Loved the diverse landscapes, food and most of all the people.
