Pet-friendly holiday rentals in Sri Lanka

Мы провели в этом доме целый месяц и остались в восторге! Просторный, уютный, с прекрасной чилл-зоной у реки, где можно расслабиться и насладиться природой. Особенно понравилась крыша – идеальное место для занятий йогой. Кухня полностью оборудована, так что готовить было удобно. Кровати в спальнях комфортные, спалось отлично. До пляжа всего 5-7 минут пешком, а до серф-спота в Велигаме – около 25 минут. В целом, это был замечательный опыт, и мы благодарны хозяевам за гостеприимство!

This is a lovely AirBnB, located close to the beach and nearby restaurants. The property is beautifully decorated and was nice and clean on arrival. Beds are comfortable with AC in one bedroom and fans in the other. One thing to note is that the neighbours have 2 dogs who can bark quite a lot when walking up to the house - not the fault of the property just worth being aware so they don’t come as a surprise! Rebecca is very responsive and easy to communicate with. Thanks for a lovely stay!

Kindest host. Very accommodating and always responsive and helpful.

Nayan's villa is even more beautiful than on the photos! The view over the beach and palmtrees is fantastic and the pool water is warm enough at all times of the day. We appreciated the various outdoor seating spaces as well as inside under the fan. It's very quiet & private apart from occasional fishermen trucks working on the beach. We have also really enjoyed the caretaker Martinez who tended to our needs every day, including bringing us coconut. We also made use of Pradeep's cooking and enjoyed having local food delivered every day to us to the villa. There was also lots of attention to detail, including beautiful flowers around the house and a fresh water tank, so that we wouldn't have to buy water in advance. Shower gel and shampoo was provided. We experienced a power cut once in the week we stayed for around 4hrs. Battery powered lamps and fans are provided for this case. Thank you Nayan, Martinez and Pradeep for a fantastic holiday! We can definitely recommend this place!

Absolutely beautiful place! There are no complaints to be made. The communication of the host was very quick and efficient, Don was very helpful with any questions we had. The caretaker Ajith was also very helpful and very friendly. We definitely recommend this place for a splendid stay!

Ranjan was an amazing host!! He looked after us very well and made sure all our needs were met. The place is so beautiful and also stays cool in the heat which is perfect. Thank you!!

Arrivé directement dans cette petite maison au milieu de la Jungle … dépaysement total , paisible … juste la nature et le chant des oiseaux. Le chef cuisinier qui est le voisin très sympathique nous a proposé de délicieux plats … le premier village se trouve à 20 minutes de marche (avec sac à dos ) on y trouve des tuc tuc pour se rendre à la ville d à côté ou l on peut prendre des bus ! Je recommande fortement pour les amoureux de la nature simplement … merci pour ce beau voyage

We loved staying at Shaun’s villa! Out of the eight places we stayed in during our trip to Sri Lanka, this was our favorite. The location, the villa, and being so close to the ocean was just what we needed. The villa was clean, well looked after, and felt really welcoming. Whenever we had a question, we got a quick and helpful reply, which made everything super easy. We also really liked the great food just across the street, which we could easily order to the villa. And being close to The Doctor’s House was a big plus – fun weekend market and tasty dinners in the evenings. We’re a family of four and felt super comfortable here. Would definitely recommend and hope to come back one day!

Сама вилла отличная, 4 просторные спальни, больше ухоженная территория, бассеин, за которым ухаживают каждое утро. Уборка дома проводилась через день, со сменой полотенец. На кухне есть все что нужно, посуда, костром сковородки, по прибытию были Яица молоко соль масло. Также есть стиральная машина. Из минусов: мы были с середины до конца апреля 2025 года, начался не сезон были очень сильные волны и наш пляж совершенно не соответствовал нашим ожиданиям, сразу после ступенек был не песок, как мы видели на фото а огромные глыбы камней, под которыми бушует океан, тоесть чтобы спуститься к морю нужно идти по этим камням в право вил 6. Мы были с 3 детьми и для нас это было очень проблематично. Поговорив с персоналом нам объяснили что в это время так всегда , идет отлив и песок уходит, потом возвращается. Вывод вилла отличная но рекомендуется к посещению в сезон Отдельно хочу отметить водителя(он же мыл бассейн по утрам) возил нас везде, был очень терпелив.

We had a really great time at Windgate estate.. it was a really convenient and easy to find location in beautiful surroundings. Really close to the Pekoe trail stage 1. Everyone at the property were really nice and helpful. The food was tasty and reasonably priced. Would visit again!

My family had 5 nights in this delightful house which was a perfect antidote to 10 days of rushing around the island of Sri Lanka. It was so relaxing and greatly benefited from having private staff who dealt with everything we could possible have wanted. There is a private chef who went out of his way to prepare whatever we asked for, 3 meals a day if needed. He only charged us for the ingredients required to prepare those meals which included a range of seafoods (e.g. huge prawns and seer fish), fresh fruit and very tasty Sri Lankan main dishes and deserts - nothing was too much trouble and he should be justly proud of his cooking skills, some of the best meals we tasted on our trip. They happily took us out on the tuk-tuk to local shops and will arrange local tours but we were "toured out" by the time we got there. The pool is fantastic (and huge!) and the grounds are constantly maintained by "Uncle". I cannot say anything but positive things, but do bring the bug sprays!

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.

We had the best stay! We literally have no complaints whatsoever. This was a weekend full of relaxation, nature and sunshine. Vinodh was very accommodating, quick to respond and gave us amazing local recommendations. We loved the free tuk tuk service to and from nearby restaurants. Whenever we had any questions, Vinodh was always super quick to respond and was always helpful. The airbnb has everything you might need from shampoo, insect repellant and lots of yummy snacks and drinks (and water) you can help yourself to. The breakfast each morning was amazing and Vinodh was so flexible with times and dietary requirements. We wished we could have stayed longer as it really is paradise. Highly recommend!!

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.

A very peaceful getaway, lots of space to relax and use of both pools without other guests. Sharmila was very responsive and helpful during the booking process, and Sunil was on site when we arrived to guide us to the villa and help us settle in. Highly recommend this place, it’s good value for money for the amenities offered and we left feeling relaxed and refreshed. We liked being able to be fully self catering and as there were no other guests it was extremely private. Thanks and we are looking forward to coming back!

Gaia Soul was actually the reason we wanted to go to Sri Lanka. And — (even though we never travel to the same places again) Gaia Soul will be the reason we have to go back. The pool and the skate ramp were so much fun. There are a lot of different hang out zones, so you will always find a comfortable spot. The place is so tidy and clean at all times. The exterior is really nice with the concrete and the orange and pink flowers. The garden areas are taken care og daily. There is a beautiful beach 5 minute walking distance. 
You can order food all day from the neighbour restaurant, that serves delicious traditional Sri Lankan food. (You have to try the curry with coconut sambol and the breakfast pancakes) Sanduni and her team will take care of you from you arrive until departure. We had two morning yoga sessions with Sarka. She is a great yoga teacher. It felt so special to just walk to the open jungle yoga studio in the beautiful wild surroundings. Thank you so much Baxter!

Great colonial house beautifully renovated and offers quite stay in the middle of the city. walkable/easy to drive to restaurants and other beaches and attraction nearby . Well worth our stay

We had such a great time at Rumesh‘s place! Everyone was super friendly and we were taken care of so well. I recommend this place to anyone who wants a beautiful peaceful place to recharge and just enjoy the breathtaking nature around Ella.

We (family with a 3y old) stayed at the villa for one month and it was truly a great stay. We felt at home from the first day on when Nulush and Mudeka received us with an amazing curry. The Villa is located in a quit local area with some stores with basic stuff in walking distance. . The main bedroom with aircon is fantastic and includes a desk which is good for working. The living area is comfortable and the garden outside the villa with its lush green is always a highlight to look at, specially on rainy days. Monkeys come visit all the time, including some mongoose, warans, many birds. The outdoor shower was a highlight for me. A big Thank goes to Nilush and Mudeka and as well the owners for being always so responsive and helpful during a our stay. Nilush helped me even to organize a Tuktuk which we used during all our stay. The cooking class was a great experience as well and the food delicious. We would definitely recommend this villa.

Wir hatten eine richtig schöne Zeit in dieser Unterkunft! Die Lage war super ruhig und total im Grünen – genau das, was wir gesucht haben. Dass die Unterkunft direkt an den Gleisen liegt und man sie auch nur über die Gleise erreicht, hat das Ganze noch besonderer gemacht. Schon die Ankunft war irgendwie ein kleines Abenteuer 😊 Trotz der etwas versteckten Lage ist man total schnell in Ella – einfach ein paar Minuten zu Fuß über die Schienen und schon ist man mittendrin. Die Unterkunft war gemütlich, sauber und hatte alles, was wir für unseren Aufenthalt zu zweit gebraucht haben. Das Frühstück war lecker und die Gastgeber unglaublich herzlich und hilfsbereit. Besonders toll fanden wir, dass sie uns sogar ein Frühstück zum Mitnehmen vorbereitet haben, weil wir noch vor Sonnenaufgang los wollten, um den Little Adam’s Peak zu besteigen. Auch die frühe Abreise war überhaupt kein Problem. Alles in allem eine wunderschöne Unterkunft mit viel Liebe geführt – würden wir sofort wieder buchen!

The house is amazing, the photos don't do it justice. It is far bigger than it looked in the pictures. The manager Manoji is one of the nicest people you'll ever meet. He cooked us a delicious breakfast every morning and he also did us a dinner one night which was the nicest meal we'd eaten in Sri Lanka, and the cost was very reasonable. He was always on hand if we needed anything. There's also a night watchman that stays in the grounds every night. It's about a 20 minute walk to the beach and the main road. The road to the house is quite narrow so be warned if you have a wide car!

It is a 5 ⭐ property and completely worth what we paid for. Construction of the property is very well thought of. I truthfully have no negative comments on this property. The host's father was there to receive us and also to see us off. The host always kept in touch to see that we were most comfortable. They handed their entire property to us along with the caretaker making us feel at home. The moment we stepped in the property it gave us an amazing feeling, and the host was always around checking on our trip to make sure we reach comfortably. Also the wifi was stable. from our group of 9 atleast 4 of us were always working remotely. The beautiful Kamburugamuwa beach is just a few steps, Mirissa beach is 2 mins by vehicle. Lot of cafes and restaurants also around the space. In total, Villa Green Space is worth a visit not once but everytime one wants to visit Sri Lanka. Thank You to Mr. Lahiru, Mr. Weerasinghe and the caretaker as well.

It was one of the most wonderful vacation trips. We had a vacation with my husband and two children aged 11 and 16. The owner of the Dharshana house is a magnificent man. He was always in touch and answered all questions. The house is located almost on the shore of the Indian Ocean in 1 min walk. All the amenities were available. All necessary household appliances are present in the house. Especially the washing machine helped us out, as children often dirty things and they could be quickly refreshed. Dharshana and his wife were very kind and welcoming. In addition, they organized a trip for my family to the elephant nursery and the nine-arch bridge, we visited the highest waterfall and got acquainted with monkeys. The children were delighted. Our family has become friends with Dharshana and his wife and we continue to communicate. We are glad that we have friends in Sri Lanka and we will definitely come back to them again.

Staying at Monsoon Eco Lodge was a great experience for the tranquility, beautiful garden, very nice accommodation and the great food we had for breakfast and sometimes for diner. Wishy will do her outmost to make your stay as enjoyable as possible. We’ll also greatly miss the beautiful view in the rice fields ! Thanks for everything !
