That we did not stay longer.

We had an absolutely amazing stay! The place looks exactly like the photos, and everything was spotless. The staff and host are incredibly kind and always willing to help with anything you need. There’s even drinking water available in the shared kitchen, and the pool is perfect for relaxing. We would highly recommend staying here if you’re visiting Sri Lanka!

The only negative about the villa is the yelping of the dogs next door, which unfortunately Sam and Santa can’t do anything about. We were woken up at dawn by them every day, but they settled down after a while and it didn’t spoil our stay as we were getting up early for surfing anyway.

Lovely villa with excellent hosts. Santa was a superb surfing instructor too and my family surfed twice a day with him at the AMA surf school where he got us reduced rates. We didn’t use any of the kitchen facilities but it was very spacious and well equipped if you wanted to self cater. Sam recommended a tuk tuk driver (Asanka) and we used him several times a day to get in to Weligama, also at reduced rates. The swimming pool is a great size and we had it to ourselves every time we used it.

Beatiful and clean location with a comfortable bed and a nice property. Some smaller shops and restaurants nearby and a lot of green nature surrounding the property. The hosts and housekeepers are super friendly and helpful and can give you a lot of recommendations depending on what you want to do around Weligama or in other areas of Sri Lanka! :) They also have some cute dogs! Would definitely recommend spending a few days here :)

I had an amazing stay at Villa Wellia with my girlfriend! The property had everything we needed to feel comfortable and relaxed. The outdoor spaces were definitely a highlight—having a private pool, sun terrace, and garden made it perfect for spending quality time together. The villa itself was super well-equipped. The kitchen had everything you’d need, and the bedrooms and bathrooms were spotless and really cosy. The room we stayed in had a private, massive bath that could easily fit four people. It was in an area surrounded by plants, completely covered on all sides but open to the sky. It felt like having a bath in the jungle—something I’ve never seen before. It was such an amazing and romantic experience! Another thing worth mentioning is the strong-pressure hot shower. This is not always a given in Sri Lanka, but if you love a good shower like I do, you’ll be very pleased here. We also had the chance to take private surfing lessons with Santa, the owner of the property, at Ama Surf School. He was hands down the best guide I’ve come across on the island. I’ve tried surfing lessons elsewhere before, but nothing compared to this experience—Santa’s guidance was outstanding, and it made the lessons so much fun and effective! The staff were extremely polite and helpful, always making sure everything was taken care of. Having private security and housekeeping on-site for every request was a huge plus—it really made the whole experience feel even more luxurious and stress-free. Overall, it’s a brilliant place to stay, and we’d 100% come back again!

I would like to express my deepest gratitude to Santa and Sam for their incredible hospitality and generosity. Both are truly passionate about providing their guests with the most comfortable and memorable experience—not only at their place but in Weligama as well. They go above and beyond, sharing invaluable insights and recommending the best spots, each tested over years of experience. Santa is not only honest, humble, and loving, but also remarkably attentive. Every corner and detail of their place is crafted with so much love and positive energy that, the moment you step in, you simply don’t want to leave. May you, your family, and all your guests be blessed with boundless love, joy, and abundance 🪷✨

We recently had the pleasure of staying at this beautiful villa, and I can't recommend it enough. The standout feature is the unique jungle bathroom, which truly enhances the experience of being surrounded by nature. Everything in the villa is spotless, making for a very comfortable stay. The spacious open kitchen and dining area are stunning, perfect for preparing meals and enjoying them together. The exceptional design of the villa promotes relaxation and tranquility. The pool area is ideal for chilling out, providing a serene atmosphere to unwind. Additionally, the owners are incredibly kind and helpful, going above and beyond to ensure a fantastic stay. They helped us rent a scooter, order a tuktuk and reccommend nice places. This villa is a hidden gem, and I can't wait to return!

Nothing to point out.

We stayed for a couple of nights, and all I can say is, just wow! We booked the honeymoon room with the outdoor shower and bathtub, and it was absolutely beautiful. The villa itself looks amazing, super clean, and the surrounding garden is a pure oasis of peace. You can really see how much work and passion the owners put into making their guests’ stay unforgettable. For example, they recommended and arranged a round trip to see the most beautiful places in Sri Lanka and even organized a scooter rental that was ready for us upon arrival. We also wanted to try surfing, and the owners recommended Ama Surfing School—it was definitely worth it, such a great group of people! Overall, staying at Villa Wellia was a unique experience. Thanks, Sami and Santa!

Absolutely phenomenal experience! From the moment I arrived, it felt like I was stepping into a dream, thanks to the warmth and hospitality of Sam and Santa. They went above and beyond to make my stay memorable, offering tips for local attractions, and even checking in just enough to make sure we had everything we needed without ever feeling intrusive. The house itself is breathtaking – amenities were truly exceptional, with everything from a plunge pool to a fully-equipped kitchen that made me feel right at home. It was clear that Sam put a lot of love and attention into every detail. The vibe was so serene that I didn’t want to leave so I extended my stay here! Highly recommend this spot for anyone looking for an unforgettable, luxury retreat with hosts who genuinely care about your experience. Thank you, Sam and Santa, for sharing your beautiful home with me – I’ll be back!

I really appreciated extra amenities like pool towels, well equipped kitchen which made my mornings before surfing very easy. There is a big table so if you feel like getting to know people, you can enjoy meals together:) There is also space to do yoga and the pool was a great spot to chill by! Sami was a great host and shared with me great places to eat and have a good coffee.I got some tips for super nice empty beaches. She organized for me scooter and even a taxi to get to safari. I can highly recommend !
