Happy New Year to all!

I would like to go to Sri Lanka for a getaway with my husband and daughter. Does anyone know through word of mouth or experience as to a good place to rent (private) for a week near or on the sea? No particular towns in mind so any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

Indulge yourself and rent the perfect place for your relaxing holiday.

Hikkaduwa holidays – One of the liveliest of the south coast holdays in Sri Lanka

HikkaVilla

The villa is located in a quite neighborhood and approximately 700 meters to the sea and 30 meters to Hikkaduwa river. Approx 1.5km from main beach / tourist area and has a private large swimming pool (separate kids pool) and large garden for relaxing.

This is a top class fully furnished huge luxury guest house which can be highly recommended for families with childrens.

Just need to find a nice place to stay Mano Vela, then pack up. So leave ASAP and return in a week after depart.

I didn't think Sri Lanka was a place I would have to book through a travel agent due to safety reasons..

Thank you for your reply Icon123 and Jihad.marei.

I have looked into the Taj Exotica Hotel and it's booked, must be a good place!

Looked into the Mannai Holidays but couldn'y find any thing on Sri Lanka.

Would rather not be in a hotel, prefur to be in a private villa/hut/ away from it all!!

Thank's again

I can assist you with that for 2 reasons.

1. I am from Sri Lanka, hence can recommend where to stay and what to do.

2. I work for a travel agency in Doha, will get you an unbeatable price.

If interested,i shall message my contact number.

Try Mannai Holidays.

There are plenty of reasonable accommodation available in Sri Lanka along the coastal stretch.
