Vacation rentals with a pool in Sri Lanka

Incredible stay at Villa 948. What an amazing location! Just loved it. The place is right on the beach and has a mini pool which was lovely to chill in. Great restaurants at walking distance. The manager Gayaan was super helpful and helped us with what we needed. Very spacious common area helped the 6 of us have an amazing fun time. Can’t recommend this place enough. Totally worth it!

This gem is located in the bustling city of Colombo but nestled at the end of a Cul-de-sac and enshrouded in a jungle forest making it seem like you're hidden well away from the noise. The hosts were both friendly and helpful in giving info and travel tips and although they reside on the property, the sense of privacy was such that we felt we had the entire place to ourselves. While the price was a little higher than some places, this was one of the best locations we've stayed at, so much so, that we booked two more days at the end of our travels. I would highly recommend this location and will stay here again when we return to Sri Lanka.

We absolutely loved this villa. It’s so gorgeous and such a relaxing location. We were recommended this villa by some friends and would 100% recommend for anyone to stay here. Amazing staff, and wonderful breakfasts. I hope one day we can come back and stay again!

Beautiful villa with abundant space, verandah-style living, a great pool, and spotlessly clean. A short tuk-tuk ride away from Galle Fort and 10 minutes to the beaches of Unawatuna. The villa itself whilst in quite a busy part, enables a highly peaceful and relaxing holiday. We spent just over a week there and the caretaker (Fayas) went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed, and the chef (Rizwan) cooked us numerous and varied breakfasts, allowing us to sample delicious traditional food we’d not had before. Check in and out during very early morning due to flight times were also accommodated. Overall we had a great holiday at the villa and would highly recommend.

Dilan is really a great host. He helped us a lot even before arriving and responded to any questions we had. Very helpful, he arranged our transfers and motorbikes and helped us with everything, even brought us food. The villa was incredibly nice and clean, we love our stay in his place, we felt like home the entire time and I recommend it! ❤️

Gads Villa is a truly magical place. The gardens are exquisitely landscaped, and the giant Velvet Apple tree is really a wonder to behold. The pool has a shallow section which is perfect for little ones, or for adults to lounge in. The kitchen is huge and had everything we needed (important when traveling with 4 youngsters!). The bathrooms are likewise huge and very prettily set out. Beds are comfortable and the fans were sufficient to keep us cool at night. The neighborhood is very quiet and safe, a few minutes tuk tuk ride into the main part of town. I personally found it very convenient to have yoga and a little spa within a few minutes walk. Secret Beach is also only a short walk away. Sahan and team were super helpful, and breakfasts were delicious. All in all a fabulous stay.

We had a wonderful stay at Cecilia’s place. The house is just as described, literally right on the beach with the picturesque Indian Ocean right at the back door of the house. We were well looked after by Sasha and Praboth and had delicious meals. Would definitely stay again.

Great location, and more than I expected. We had a great time and the host was really good at checking in on us and making the whole trip smooth. He taught how to turn on the POOL JACUZZI!! It was amazing! The bed sheets and towels were brand new or felt new! The space was spotless. We walked right across to the beach and had some amazing food! Surprise is mentioned the hosts name and you get some great service. Everyone seems to know him! The backyard is really quiet and you can have a lovely drink in the Gazebo overlooking the pool. This was a great find! I would recommend this for single and family visitors! Sri Lanka is amazing and the host is a true island hospitality king! We felt safe in the house and the neighborhood. Great WiFi and fully stocked kitchen! Bathrooms were spotless and great shower pressure. We loved it all and wished we stayed longer.

Thoroughly enjoyed staying at Kanishka airbnb. The location was fantastic with easy rides with PickMe. Kanishka was very responsive and easily sorted out any minor issues that came up. Would love to stay here again in the future

The place was exactly like how it was shown in the pictures , extremely safe and peaceful . The luxury and the helpful host security guards made the stay easy and we felt just like at home

I stayed at Sumudu's place with my mother for nearly 4 weeks. we felt right at home. The apartment was very clean and had everything we needed. The complex was secure and had gym and a pool. Sumudu is such a responsive and helpful host. Event hough the apartment complex was right next to a busy street, the apartment was very quiet. There are lot of supermartkets and restaurants nearby. I would highly recommend Sumudu's place to anyone who is looking for a place near Colombo.

Where to start, what a great host, cozy place, felt serenity and place like more than home. Since i booked n approached her, she was very responsive , allowed early check in. She has decorated each n every item in the apartment with special attention and theme. Right from main door till all rooms, beach theme pillows, wall decoration, special souvenirs from across the world, beach theme kitchen cabinets. The place is just few meters from beach, great views of the sun set and beach around and roof top pool of course is a main attraction.. I am thankful to her for being such a great host I would not even think to go anywhere else next time i am in Colombo .

Nidaal’s place is in the center of Colombo, it was easy to reach everything we wanted to see by short Tuk Tuk rides! The place is very up high and you have great view over the city. The check is process is a bit complicated, but Nidaal explained everything well! The beds are comfortable, the air condition works perfectly! Nidaal is a very communicative host, she answers quickly and has a lot of tips!

We enjoyed the house very much! It was such a luxury place with everything we needed and the swimming pool and the gym was nice one too! I would recommend this house to anyone for sure!

This place was fantastic! The location was perfect, and it was easy to get around. The apartment was clean, comfortable, and well-equipped. Roshan was incredibly responsive and helpful, making sure we had everything we needed. Highly recommend!

Great place with awesome view from the from and the top floor pool at a central location of Colombo. And if you want to see pelicans there are loads in the pond next to the Appartment.

Villa is beautiful and very distinctive. Tia and the Sri Lankan waiters are very friendly and welcoming and helped us a lot! The surprise was that the villa was full of fireflies at night, even in your room.

The photos don’t do it justice. This place exceeded my expectations which rarely happens After a few days of unwinding you start to really appreciate the design of the house and how it feels like you’re living in harmony with nature- the animals (monkeys/ dogs/ birds) are so close to you it’s actually quite magical. The privacy is also amazing and the staff are what really make this place exceptional. Both Sunethra and Chathuranga are so helpful, kind and genuinely warm and welcoming that you feel like you’re at home. Our party are all animal lovers and Chloe the dog was a wonderful bonus- always there but keeps her distance, never barks and makes you feel like she’s looking out for you. This place has families returning and we can see why- we will be one of them!! Location is excellent, just a short Tuk Tuk ride to the beaches and restaurants- but Sunethra’a cooking is actually the best food we had there so definitely get a few dinners booked with her for authentic Sri Lankan

Really enjoyed our stay at Indie! It’s a beautiful home, very clean and the beach is easily accessible from the property! Nirman, the manager was very kind and helpful and we got prompt responses from the host which made our stay a pleasure. Thank you for the amazing hospitality.

Our family of four had a wonderful stay in the Petals. The house is very comfortable and the big beautiful garden (with the frangipani trees!) and the pool make it a wonderful place to wind down and relax. Upul and Jagath are a lovely duo who take care of the house. They are very discrete and extremely kind. Upul also cooked delicious meals for us. The terrace is also very nice and comfortable offering an opportunity to connect to a film projector and watch a movie on a big screen. Mikey (the dog on the property) is very friendly but if he jumps around too much, Jagath or Upul will make sure he is locked away. One thing to note is that the two bedrooms are not connected via any inside corridor but come out directly to a terrace. It did not bother us though. We wish we could have stayed longer!
