Everyone has their own notion of a dream vacation home. For some, it is a vacation rental offering a gorgeous spa retreat. For others, the perfect holiday abode cannot be without a sparkling infinity pool.
The beach bums and sun seekers amongst us will insist upon a vacation dwelling that offers direct access to an enchanting beach. If you happen to fall under this category, look no further, for we bring you five dreamy beachfront villas providing direct access to the beach:

A dream tropical vacation involves having a beach all to yourself, with no one else other than your travelling companions frolicking on the swathe of golden sand, in the turquoise waters or under the shade of leafy palms.
Beach lovers will find themselves in seventh heaven when they make Mihiri Beach House their vacation rental of choice. The villa hugs close to the shore, offering panoramic views of the coast as well as direct access to a private beach. There is no time to lose when you are staying in such a fine abode.

Built for seaside lovers, The Last House is a captivating villa that never fails to capture the hearts of its guests. Sitting amidst a sprawling garden, the well-furnished villa is decked in cheery hues and decorative ornaments. It may be hard to venture beyond the cosy and charming interiors of the villa, but do make time to explore the scenic coasts located a handful of footsteps away. A row of shady palms, a stretch of fine sand and cooling gusts of sea breeze await…
Villa Footprints
There is a good chance of finding guests at Villa Footprints lying back comfortably against the electric blue sunbeds, taking a dip in the cooling waters of the swimming pool or lounging about outdoors in the garden. It is not difficult to see why, for the villa occupies a fantastic beachfront location overlooking the splendid coasts of Thalpe. Guests who like nothing better than to take relaxing strolls along the beach will certainly be delighted during their stay, for a few quick strides is all that it takes to access the sandy shores from the villa.
Villa Ocean’s Edge
Aptly named, Villa Ocean’s Edge hugs close to the shores at the southern tip of Sri Lanka. Start and end your days by taking a comfortable seat out in the airy verandah facing the ocean. Wake up bright and early in order to catch the breathtaking sight of a scenic sunrise. When evening beckons, be sure to have a well-made sundowner in hand while you watch the sun set across the horizon, painting the sky with a variety of glowing, amber hues.
