Pet-friendly holiday rentals in Sri Lanka

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!

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!

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

The best thing about August beach house is it's location..sits right on the beach with lots of nice bars, restaurants and surf schools nearby. The staff were very kind and courteous and they keet the place squeaky clean through out our stay.

Staying at this incredible wooden cottage on Koggala Lake was an absolute dream. From the moment we arrived, the host made us feel incredibly welcome and at home — their warmth and hospitality truly set the tone for the entire stay. A special shoutout to Yohan, whose help and attentiveness were simply amazing and made everything even more seamless. The cottage itself is beautifully constructed, giving off a fantastic homely vibe with stunning views of the lake. The team even torched the gardens for us in the evening, creating a magical, serene atmosphere. The pool was always clean, inviting, and accessible — a perfect spot to unwind whenever we wanted. All our basic needs were thoughtfully and thoroughly taken care of, making the entire experience completely stress-free. If you’re looking for a perfect blend of comfort, nature, and genuine hospitality, this place is an absolute gem. Can’t recommend it enough!

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!

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!!

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!

Wunderschön renovierte Villa direkt an einem einsamen Strand gelegen. Nach hinten raus somit mehr als großartig .Wenn man bis zu Nase in den Pool eintaucht ,verschmilzt dieser mit dem dahinter gelegenen Meer 🤍.Sie liegt aber direkt an einer Straße und wenn man im Garten ist ,hört man dieses auch.(Hat uns aber nicht sonderlich gestört.Bei uns hatte aber ein Geschäft auf der anderen Seite eröffnet und der beschallte uns einen Tag mit vielleicht etwas lauter Musik 🙈) Wir nutzten die Villa am Ende unserer Reise um etwas zu entspannen. Daher ideal für uns gelegen und somit nicht schlimm,dass die Gegend touristisch nicht ganz so erschlossen ist. Morgens wir ein inkludiertes Villa Frühstück angeboten und wir hatten Barbecue und Curry bestellen können. Die Jungs waren immer extrem freundlich und quasi auf „Knopfdruck“für uns da.Sie sprachen zwar kaum Englisch ,dafür war der Manager der Villa ,Sampath,immer per Handy erreichbar und extrem hilfsbereit. Wir können die Villa sehr empfehlen .

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!

Nous avons passé un séjour exceptionnel en famille (5 personnes) chez Gayan à Tangalle pendant deux nuits. La maison est superbe, spacieuse et très bien entretenue, avec trois chambres joliment décorées. Les deux chambres à l’étage sont particulièrement agréables, chacune disposant d’une belle terrasse privée idéale pour se détendre au calme. La possibilité d’utiliser la machine à laver a été un vrai plus pour notre famille en voyage. Mais ce qui rend ce séjour inoubliable, c’est l’accueil chaleureux de Gayan et de sa famille. D’une grande gentillesse, ils favorisent naturellement les échanges et sont toujours prêts à aider. Gayan a su anticiper tous nos besoins : suggestions de restaurants, organisation des trajets en tuk-tuk, conseils personnalisés… Une véritable attention de chaque instant. Un grand merci à lui pour sa disponibilité et sa bienveillance. Nous reviendrons avec grand plaisir !

Had the most amazing time at Punchi Doowa—the property was stunning and peaceful. The service by Pubudu and Umesh was exceptional. We were welcomed with fresh coconut water, and the meals they cooked were so good, we didn’t eat out once! They also helped us arrange a scooter with helmets in minutes. Special thanks to Hettie—so generous and kind. I started a book from her collection and when I asked if I could buy it, she let me keep it. I left one of mine behind in return. The toiletries smelled like organic heaven—and as a woman, having good shampoo and conditioner while traveling is such a joy! One of the most magical moments? Seeing fireflies light up the garden at night—it felt like a storybook scene. My boyfriend and I kept saying we need to come back for a longer stay. Highly recommend this hidden gem!

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.

Staying in this amazing treehouse was a truly unique and unforgettable experience. Completely open to the surrounding nature, we could hear the sounds of the wildlife throughout the night — from birds to insects to mammals — and it was fascinating to notice how the sounds changed as the night went on. It really felt like being cut off from the outside world, in the best possible way. The host was very welcoming and gave us great recommendations for local activities and places to eat. A magical stay in the heart of nature!

Avec mon mari, nous avons passé 2 jours Chez Sumedha et sa famille, et l'expérience était superbe ! Le logement est incroyable, une cabane perchée dans les arbres comme on en avait envie. Les équipements sont largement suffisants, la litterie très agréable. la cabane est au fond d'une impasse donc on est tranquille. Concernant la famille hôte, c'est une famille en or ! Ils sont à notre écoute pour la moindre question, très serviable (pour des recommandations de visite, la commande d'un taxi ou autre) et le repas du soir était un délice ! Nous recommandons les yeux fermés !

We stayed 5 days at this beautiful Airbnb right by the beach. It was the host's childhood home, and honestly, I can't imagine growing up somewhere so stunning. It rained almost the entire time we were there because of the monsoon, but the house was so perfect to watch the rain. The rain would pour off the roof like a fountain, and the beach was two two-minute walk away. The property had sooooo many trees, mango, bananas, olive, coconut, bay leaves, you name it, they have it. The hosts were gracious and allowed us to freely pick mangoes every morning. Everything at the villa made us feel right at home. We loved the caretaker uncle. The property was a little far off from central Mirissa (15 Minutes by tuk-tuk), so the beaches were immaculate and quiet. Most of the time, we had the entire beach to ourselves. We could hear the sound of the beach at night from our rooms at night. Recommended if you are travelling with a big group and wish to stay for a while at Mirissa.

Ich habe 4 schöne Nächte bei Lucie und Lahiru verbracht. Es ist ein tolles Erlebnis die Tiere (Affen, Vögel) hautnah zu hören und im Dschungel zu erleben. Das Essen von Lahiru war super lecker & Lucie hat mir tolle Tipps zu fairen Preisen für die Umgebung gegeben. Die Kommunikation war toll und beide sehr hilfsbereit. Sie haben mir z.B. einen Fahrer vom Flughafen zu dem Apartment organisiert. Großartige Gastfreundschaft mit lieben Hunden!!Wenn man ein bisschen Weg vom Trubel der Main Road will ist das ein großartiger Platz (ca. 15 min von Ahangama landeinwärts entfernt). Man sollte sich aber bewusst sein, dass man ein kleines Stück offroad fährt und wenn man keine gute Moped-Fahrerin ist (Mofa kann man bei Lucie entspannt ausleihen) ist man auf TukTuk-Fahrer angewiesen und bei mir gestaltete es sich manchmal zurück ins Apartment abends etwas schwierig, da die „nicht einheimischen Fahrer“ in den Städten den Weg nicht gut kannten und oft leider zu unfairen Preisen gefahren sind.

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 !
