Villa Spaces
The Main House
At the heart of the villa is an open-plan main house where high ceilings and floor-to-ceiling glass doors open straight onto the gardens and ocean. Three king-bedded master suites, each with its own ensuite, sit alongside a shared living area furnished with curated art and panoramic sea views. A fully equipped kitchen and dining space mean guests can self-cater or, more often, hand the evenings over to the villa's chef.
The Garden Suites
A short walk through the gardens leads to two private pavilions, the Garden Suites, each with its own terrace, indoor-outdoor living space, and a bathroom finished in natural materials. They suit couples or anyone in the group who values a little extra seclusion, set slightly apart from the main house with the sound of the waves close by.
The Pool, Gardens and Beach
The gardens run down toward an 18-metre infinity pool that looks out over the sand. Sun loungers and a shaded cabana make for slow afternoons, and an open-air pavilion works equally well for morning yoga or sunset cocktails. Beyond the pool, a private gate opens directly onto the white sand of Weligama Bay, good for an early swim, a long walk, or watching the fishing boats come in.
Dining and Service
Luna is fully staffed, with daily housekeeping and a resident chef who builds menus around fresh local produce and seafood, from a Sri Lankan fruit breakfast to dinner served beside the pool. Service here is warm and hands-on rather than formal; past guests single out the chef and the team as much as the villa itself.
Where Luna Is
Luna sits at Pelena, on the quieter southern end of Weligama Bay, within walking distance of surf schools, yoga studios, cafés and local restaurants. Weligama's beginner surf breaks are on the doorstep, and Midigama's more serious waves are minutes away. Mirissa, with its whale-watching and beach bars, is a short tuk-tuk ride, and the colonial streets of Galle Fort are around 40 minutes up the coast. Whale trips, tea-estate tours and turtle hatcheries are all within easy reach, but Luna stays th
Ideal For
Extended families, groups of friends, and special-occasion stays that want a private stretch of beach and a whole villa to themselves.
Reviews 14 reviews for Luna Weligama - A Luxury Beachfront Villa in Weligama, Sri Lanka
I very rarely write reviews. I don't want to have to rate everything all the time. -> Only if something is exceptionally good or exceptionally bad. In this case, as the stars say, it was incredibly good. Willa Luna in Weligama was recommended to us by friends. As the perfect ending to our tour of Sri Lanka, we wanted to treat ourselves to a few relaxing days there. Our expectations were truly exceeded. It starts with the entire property, which seemed far too big for the four of us :D, a private pool, and private beach access. Breakfast was always served, and the bungalows were cleaned and the floors mopped every day. The whole team around Luna and Glen as hosts are helpful and welcoming. We felt at home, and every wish was granted. Weligama is a great place to take your first surfing lessons. It's located on the south coast of Sri Lanka and is not far from the lively towns of Mirissa and Matara. :) So, if you're planning a trip to Sri Lanka: be sure to check out Willa Luna, Weligama on Airbnb. It's really worth it!
Luna Weligama is a special paradise even for jaded travellers who’ve seen it all. From the team welcome to the six star setting, the divine art-accented architecture - always on point - to the unbeatable setting, this exclusive beach resort is worth crossing the globe for. Move seamlessly from the chic pool with views on the palm strewn beach to the warm waters of the Indian Ocean at your doorstep, you’re in heaven. The area is on the move with great restaurants boosting the local offering, but without sacrificing the feeling you’re at a place yet to be fully discovered. This is our second stay and we will be back in September!
A little paradise hidden behind a big wall.. the owners have created a wonderful property. The landscaping is lovely, materials used are high quality. The design is very stylish but sober. Given the size of the land, they have chosen to only accommodate small groups, adding to the feeling of privacy, exclusivity and space.
And then… there is a magnificent pool with unobstructed views of the ocean and the direct access to the beach for an early morning swim. Can’t wait to go back!
Luna is truly an exceptionally, magical place. I have stayed here on three occasions and the location is idyllic: perfect ocean breezes from the pool, steps to a gorgeous long and very walkable beach, an easy walk to great cafes, restaurants, and “downtown Weligama” and a simple and fun tuktuk ride to Marissa.
The property is the perfect mix of gathering areas and private spaces, on meticulously groomed grounds. Swaying palm trees, and greenery everywhere.
The staff are absolutely out of this world, fresh fruit breakfasts with all the trims were the perfect way to start the day.
There is a large kitchen to prepare your own lunches or dinners, but we also took advantage of amazing Chef Nimal’s expertise and arranged for meals prepared expertly by him.
The rooms are gorgeous! Beautifully decorated and immediately whisk you away to a stress free vacation.
The hosts are the loveliest people, booking was very easy and everyone goes out of their way to ensure you have a perfect stay.
Highly recommend.
Our one week stay at Luna Villa with our 4 kids aged 16-22 was simply magical. Luna is an oasis of tranquility in Weligama, with its beautifully manicured grounds, huge beachfront infinity pool, and cavernous, thoughtfully designed ensuite bedrooms and outbuildings. The staff, managed by Ranga, were extremely courteous and helpful while remaining unobtrusive. Chef Lasanth prepared delicious meals which were far better than any local restaurants and hence we enjoyed a lot of both local and international cuisine at the Villa. The Seafood Barbecue was the highlight, complete with tiki torches, flower arrangements, and candles. Ranga was extremely helpful in suggesting and organising trips and massages for us. Snorkeling with giant sea turtles in Mirissa was the highlight of the week. The owner Glen, who was off site, was always accessible and replied quickly to any questions we had. He has created a truly special place. The proximity to the beaches and nightlife in both Weligama and Mirissa are ideal. Whether with family or friends I could highly recommend Luna Villa as a perfect way to decompress after touring Sri Lanka.
We just spent a fabulous week at Luna Weligama with friends and couldn’t have asked for a better weeks’ break. The accommodation is impecable, the gardens beautiful and watching sunsets by that pool - breathtaking!
Despite our best intentions we ended up spending most of our time at Luna or swimming at the beach directly in front. Chef created such delicious meals everyday we didn’t want to leave!
Luna is at the quieter end of Weligama but you’re never more than a beach walk or short tuk tuk ride away from anything.
We’d definitely stay at Luna again and couldn’t recommend it more. highly.
The experience starts when the gate opens to the small courtyard where the manager and some of the staff are waiting for you: at that moment you know that you’re going to experience something special.
Then you pass the little porch and discover the luxuriant garden, the beauty of the architecture and the sophistication combined that give you that sense of peace and comfort.
Everything at Luna has been thought with details in mind, style, and care.
It’s not opulence that I’m talking about, it’s chic.
The rooms are beautifully designed and there are patches of art everywhere. The dark green stone of the pool matches perfectly with the brown, green, grey and black you’ll find everywhere in the property.
Beyond what you see, there’s the experience: the staff is there to satisfy your needs and curiosity, and always with a smile. And the food, from Sri Lankan and Asian to Occidental is delicious: we tried several times the curries -the fish or chicken, or jackfruit ones- and they were all delicate and tasty (my mouth is watering just writing those words…).
By now I’m sure you understood that we very enjoyed our stay (we went with friends and family, kids included, as the house can fit around 10 people) and I highly recommend Luna Weligama while in Sri Lanka.
Just had 4 wonderful nights at Luna Weligama. A well appointed property with all the details thought of and an amazing staff so all we needed to do was relax and enjoy the facilities. Highlights had to be the cooking class taken by the in house chef and the effort made for a birthday celebration.
I had the pleasure of staying at Luna Weligama for two weeks celebrating Christmas and the New Year with friends. What a wonderful choice. Let me start by talking about the compound staff. Always smiling, always ready to assist and the chef preparing the most amazing foods. If you stay, make sure you enjoy the Sri Lankan hoppers for breakfast Aand the fresh fish curry as often as you can.
Our day started with 6.30 coffee and a long walk along the Beach. We then surfed, swam in the pool, showered and enjoyed breakfast around the communal table at 9 o’clock. Some days we went out but many we spent purely at Luna. The resident masseuse coming most days to provide the most incredible massages under the shade of the palm trees with the ocean breezes and the sound of the waves lapping on the shore.
Everything about Luna was easy, personalised, and well thought through. The rooms were quiet, comfortable and beautifully appointed. The entire compound is put together with incredible thought and an absolute eye for detail. We will return for sure and I cannot thank the manager enough for making Christmas and New Year as special as it was.
Back from 2 weeks at Villa Luna in Weligama. What can I say, incredible. One of the best pools, beachfront access for sunset and surfing. Villa comes with their own tuk tuk to take you to local gyms, cafes, restaurants, etc. we were looked after so well by Ranga the Villa manager and all the staff. Delicious breakfast, lunch and dinner. Stylish decoration, we loved our bedroom with sea views and spacious bathrooms. Didn’t want to leave!
I give 5-Star Review for Luna Weligama, Sri Lanka
Luna Weligama is truly a hidden gem!
The amazing food prepared by a private chef was a highlight of our stay—every meal was exquisite. The staff were incredibly attentive and went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect. The villa offered exceptional privacy and personalized service, making it feel like our own slice of paradise.
It’s undoubtedly one of the best stays I’ve ever had. The calm and serene surroundings provided the perfect setting to reset and recharge for the year.
One of the standout experiences was the garden massage—a truly luxurious and unforgettable indulgence.
Highly recommend Luna Weligama for anyone seeking relaxation, luxury, and privacy!
We had an unforgettable stay at Luna to celebrate a 30th birthday. The property is breathtaking, surrounded by greenery and thoughtfully designed with care in every detail.
Ranga, the house manager, and the wider team were incredible. They truly went above and beyond to make our stay special - from arranging a private barman for sunset cocktails to lighting fireworks and placing lanterns in the gardens. Nothing was ever too much to ask.
The poolside BBQ was a highlight - the food was fresh, beautifully cooked, and perfect for the setting.
Luna is a one-of-a-kind experience, and we’re already planning our return. Highly, highly recommend.
Fantastic property. We had a team retreat at Luna and there is nothing to complain about. The team is fantastic the service impeccable and the food delicious. Tip: yoga at sunrise by the pool! We will be back!
We booked Luna Weligama for our team meeting of 8 pax and it exceeded every expectation. The attention to detail in the interior decoration is exceptional — every space is beautifully curated and inspiring. The property is stunning, spacious, and perfect for both work and relaxation.
A huge thank you to Glen and Can who managed the property with incredible warmth and professionalism. The chief staff, Rangga was always available to attend to any request, making our stay seamless and enjoyable. The rest of the staff were equally amazing, delivering attentive and thoughtful service throughout.
Not to mention the gorgeous pool overlooking the beach — with direct beach access, it was the perfect spot to unwind between meetings. And of course, Jake the dog was the sweetest companion and brought so much joy to our group!
Highly recommended for team retreats, group stays, or anyone looking for a beautifully designed and welcoming stay in Weligama. We’ll definitely be back!
