If you have travel plans for a vacation in Sri Lanka involving the little ones and a family of beach lovers, keep an eye out for the following holiday homes on the island:
Walatta House, Tangalle
Walatta House in Tangalle is a stunning modern villa where luxury meets sustainability. Picture this: you’re lounging by a 15-meter infinity pool, the turquoise Indian Ocean stretching out before you, surrounded by lush gardens and swaying palm trees. Inside, you’ll find three gorgeous bedrooms, each with its own unique style and plenty of space to relax. The open-plan living and dining area is perfect for enjoying meals with breathtaking ocean views, and the dedicated workspace means you can easily stay connected (or not!). This isn’t just a villa; it’s a stylish, eco-friendly sanctuary where you can truly unwind and soak up the beauty of Sri Lanka.
Villa Samudra Galle, Habaraduwa
Along the quiet coasts of Habaraduwa lie Villa Samudra Galle, a snug two bedroom villa ideal for accommodating small families. The villa’s prime beachfront location means that you’ll enjoy stunning sea vistas and refreshing gusts of sea breeze all day. It is also conveniently situated close to the UNESCO heritage site of Galle Fort, making family day excursions to explore the historic town and its attractions a breezy affair. After a merry day spent exploring Galle’s charming streets, take your pick between tucking into a spread in one of the many dining establishments in town, or head back for a decadent dinner in your villa.
Stella Beach Villa, Matara
A commodious tropical garden, excellent beachfront location, direct access to the beach and panoramic views of the Indian Ocean – you’ll enjoy all of these perks at the gorgeous Villa Kabalana Beach Getaway.
It’s easy to settle into a dreamy vacation routine here, made up of leisurely strolls in a well-manicured garden, poolside cocktails and afternoons spent frolicking on the sandy shores. If you’re planning a day excursion for the entire family, a variety of travel attractions in Galle, Mirissa and Unawatuna are easily within reach. We also bring good news for avid foodies: look forward to savouring a feast at each and every meal, for an additional cost, a private chef can cook up a storm of Sri Lankan culinary delights.
Elysium Villa, Thalpe
You’ll be easily mistaken into thinking that you’re living in paradise during your stay at Elysium Villa. You’ll be greeted with the sight of clear skies, emerald greenery and picturesque coasts each day, and have a sprawling tropical garden and beautiful beachfront deck to call your own. A total of five commodious bedrooms offers plenty of space for extended family members joining in the holiday fun. The family suite, featuring six bunk beds, offers a great accommodation option for couples travelling with their little ones in tow.
Villa South Point Abbey, Ahangama
Enjoying dips in the pool is a must-do activity at Villa South Point Abbey. Settle down in the cool waters of the infinity pool with a drink in hand, let your gaze rest on the coastline, and you’ll feel at one with the boundless sea. We recommend being out in the fresh air as much as possible, which means that your day is likely to involve soaks in the outdoor jacuzzi tub, tea sessions at the veranda and alfresco meals accompanied by unforgettable sea views. There’s a total of three bedrooms here, which makes the villa an ideal accommodation option for small families. Two of the bedrooms are interconnected, which will serve as a convenient sleeping arrangement for families travelling with young children.
