Fitness-friendly holiday rentals in Southern Province

We had a very comfortable stay in the apartment, it was a great place to base ourselves and travel around Galle and the southern beaches each day. If we had any issues, they were responded to quickly and efficiently. The apartment security is very good, and so helpful having a supermarket in the complex. We would definitely stay here again.

Would highly recommend staying here!! Especially as a solo traveller it was so important to find somewhere safe and in a convenient location. So close to the beach and many local restaurants, you’ll find everything you need at walking distance. The local family that lives next door is very supportive, always being one text message away with doctor service and making delicious breakfasts for me.

While the accommodation itself was perfect, the real selling point for this stay is the hosts. They are the most lovely hosts I’ve ever had, attending to all of our needs and very communicative. Please do yourself a favour and stay here! 10/10

We enjoyed our stay at nomads it’s a beautiful place away from the busy town

Ethan is a wonderful host who has a nice property. the house is easy to find navigating through google maps and the check in is easy. The Propery is close by to the Galle beaches and not much of a hassle to find it. Ethan has a nice house which is well maintained. The house is tastefully done with great amineties. Breakfast is not served but the Kitchen is well equipped for cooking basic stuff. The bedrooms are large and A/c is quite Effective in all the rooms. WiFi is available which was of a good speed. We only stayed here for two nights and absolutely loved the place. There is a supermarket downstairs in the same building which will meet your small grocery needs. The Caretaker of this house Sameer is also very helpful. Ethan is very hospitable and keen on explaining the places nearby, suggestions, etc. Shall surely look forward to come back to stay Again..!!

This place is a paradise! This family is adorable and always very available. We had an excellent stay in this place, the pool is magnificent, the private beach downstairs is superb too. The food is very good, we ate in their restaurant for 3 days and it was always delicious! We recommend . Thanks Sanjeewani

The Airbnb is on the top floor of the Coventry International School. Convenient location. A little noisy because of where it’s at, but no problem for us. We were able to walk to nearby shops and grocery stores. Drivable to the beaches. Top bedding was unintentionally forgotten. Host was unresponsive. We slept with our beach towels. Maybe make sure you have bedding when you arrive with the host. Otherwise, no issues; would stay again.

I had a great stay at this apartment! The residential complex is very comfortable and quiet, and the apartment itself was clean, cozy, and well-equipped with everything I needed. Everything was convenient and thoughtfully arranged. The host was very responsive and helpful, quickly answering any questions and assisting whenever needed. I definitely recommend this place and would happily stay here again!

Had a wonderful stay at Sam's Condominium-neat and clean apartment with stunning views and the soothing sound of waves . The atmosphere was peaceful and relaxing, making it a perfect coastal escape.

Wowww. Where do I even begin?! We were stunned by how much more beautiful this place was in person. It exceeded all our expectations!! The location can’t be beat. Corner unit, two floors, multiple balconies & floor-to-ceiling windows/doors to catch the beach & gorgeous sunset views from any angle! The bedrooms with attached bathrooms, common areas & divine master suite are so spacious and luxurious! I have to give *high praise* for how well maintained this unit is by Dodampe, his lovely caretaker Upul, and the cleaning staff. The place was sparkling clean - kitchen, curtains, sofas & other furniture/fixtures seemed almost brand new! Incredibly high standards for cleanliness, presentation & keeping unit in excellent working order with no issues. Our family of seniors, young adults, and children had lots of privacy for ourselves as well as generous common areas to spend together. Many thanks to Upul for his warmth, responsiveness, all his help & advice. He even brought a welcome gift!

We stayed in the apartment for a month. Everything was great, nice apartment, private area. There is a swimming pool and a gym on site. The staff is helpful. Many thanks to Danoja, we checked in earlier than the agreed time, all issues that arose were resolved promptly (even those that arose due to our stupidity), friendly communication. Thank you very much! We will definitely come again!

The accommodation is beautiful and right on the sea. If you don't want to eat in the restaurant in the building complex, you always need a taxi to the nearest restaurant. Special requests were always taken into account and fulfilled. Furthermore, we were helped a lot in organizing the transfer to the airport.

We had one of our best airbnb experiences globally at Mahakiya Fitness, at which this apartment is the best lodging of all the options. Private, stylish, beautifully furnished, but with easy access to a great health food restaurant and the amazing fitness / HIIT classes at Mahakiya. And the most hospitable and friendly staff. Thanks for everything; we look forward to returning !

navigator directs on the other hand, our taxi driver got lost at first. Having a car , the location is good. Appartements are large, all appliances work. Housekeeping once a week Host is always available

Very comfortable, clean, great communication with our host, nice swimming pool and strong internet. We had a great time and would love to return in future.

We have stayed in the apartment before so everything was familiar. We had a great stay there and would recommend the apartment.

Nuwan and his family treated us to a memorable stay at their house. The location was very good, just over 1km from the main road and easy access to Hikkaduwa beach and resort. They were very helpful with regards to recommending places of interests, and providing taxi transport to and from town. The house had a very homely feel, was comfortable and had all the amenities. Most of all they were incredibly friendly and approachable. l highly recommend Nuwan for long and short stays. Thank you for being a wondeful host

Dhanushka is a great host, he and his family made us feel so welcome. Communication was great and there were no problems in the month that we stayed there. It was a real experience of the local Sri Lankan village life and we loved it, especially Dhanushka’s family and our wonderful neighbours across the street.

What a fantastic trip - Gorgeous villa, staff, and stay! We just returned from a truly memorable trip to the Lake Koggala House. Our group of 4 couples arrived after Christmas to celebrate our friends’ wedding and New Year’s festivities. The villa exceeded our already high expectations. What a treat! It is even more beautiful and immaculate than the photos. The bedrooms and bathrooms are spacious and beautifully designed. There are many sitting areas including a spacious air-conditioned movie room/ living room. The views are amazing! Big windows, bedroom terraces, and open spaces allow guests to see plenty of scenery. We’ve stayed in some lovely places, but this house blew us away. The pool overlooks the lake and a sprawling, well-kept garden. There are float toys and relaxing places to sun bathe. The villa team (Vijitha, Chef Ranga, Chandra, etc.) worked hard to ensure our comfort, safety, and fun. Their warmth made us feel like family. From the start, communication with the House Manager, Emma, was fast, easy, professional, pleasant, and informative. We felt at ease booking the house despite the busy Christmas and New Year holiday season. Emma sent tons of helpful information about the accommodation, area, and villa team. Thanks to her help, we were well-prepared for a streamlined arrival. Emma even graciously helped one guest who needed a sudden change of drivers during a pre-arrival trip. This happened right around Christmas, yet Emma was able to provide a new driver to pick-up our friend who was staying 4 hours away in Yala National Park. Thank you, Emma! Emma was also on-hand to answer any questions via text or email. What world-class hospitality! Laundry, yoga, and massage service is available. We also enjoyed a lovely boat ride around the lake visiting various sites. BIG thank you to Chef Ranga who created incredible meals! Wow – each dish was a culinary delight. We loved gathering around the open dining area over one of Chef Ranga’s gourmet meals. He made everything from a Sri Lankan breakfast to homemade pizzas to savory meat-veggie hand pies to a whole decadent seafood dinner. We were beyond spoiled by his food and attention. Vijitha was also key in helping organize our stay. He coordinated our arrival with our drivers as the house is tucked back within the lake area. Vijitha was always there to assist with anything that needed to be done. The ladies (Chandra and another lovely lady) took care of the cleaning and laundry. They couldn't have been nicer or more eager to help. One day before we realized it, they even grabbed our heavy shopping bags as we ran inside from an afternoon rain! The whole team provided 5-star hospitality!! The Koggala Lake House offers fantastic value-for-money. We would return in a heartbeat and highly recommend others to stay. Thank you again to the villa team!

Nice place with great location close to the ocean! Kind and friendly hosts, sometimes treated us to a delicious breakfast, although it was not included.

Piumi and her family are very nice people. During our stay there I unfortunately had stomach problems and the family did everything they could to make me feel better. They are honest, lovable people. Piumi and her dad speak good English so there was no problem communicating either. Her mum prepared delicious food for breakfast or dinner and always had a kind gesture or two towards us. There is a beautiful jungle around the house where monkeys were jumping every morning, but we also saw a mongoose and a monitor lizard in the garden. The bathroom has good hot water, which is quite unique in Sri Lanka. I can only recommend them if you want an authentic Sri Lankan experience! Thank you truly for everything and hope to see you in the near future.

The space is very simple and could be excellent with some slight renovations. But that being said I will rate it five stars for the following reasons : 1. Very safe. It’s a separate structure in the hosts own compound. So safety is guaranteed 2. Privacy. 3. Host is very flexible and easy going. We asked for a very early check in and late checkout and he offered it with no friction at all. 4. Proximity to everything beach related while being positioned at enough of a distance away from the shops and stays that blast loud music (even on a poya day) that you can be ensured a sound night of rest and sleep. Less than a minute walk to the beach and surfing spots . Thanks for hosting us 🙏

I loved staying here so much — Ruchi’s mum and dad were so welcoming and sweet. The room was peaceful with a balcony overlooking a small pineapple farm/field. Exotic trees and wildlife all around, including peacocks, monkeys and the sound of birdsong all day long. I slept amazingly, and I appreciated the little touches of detail like the beautiful fresh towels and soft cotton bedding. Very comfy bed too Thank you Ruchi and fam 😌
