Sevena Villa - A Family Friendly Villa with Pool in Weligama, Sri Lanka
Villas in Weligama, Sri Lanka
Description
THE PROPERTY
The design sits somewhere between traditional Sri Lankan architecture and something a Brooklyn design studio might have dreamed up if given three acres of tropical land and no brief. Exposed brick walls rise to high vaulted ceilings in the main living room. The tone is warm and earthy, rough-cut stone, dark timber, handpicked furnishings that feel considered rather than assembled. French windows throughout the ground floor pull the garden inside, or let you step out onto the veranda without quite deciding which you'd rather be. This is not a villa that tries to look like a luxury property. It simply is one.
BEDROOMS
Six bedrooms sleep up to 14 guests. The master bedroom has a king bed and opens directly onto a private terrace with pool views, the kind of room where you don't draw the curtains because the view earns the morning. The next four bedrooms each have queen beds, comfortable and well-proportioned, with the same French windows and garden outlook that run through the rest of the property. The sixth bedroom is a dedicated bunk room, two sets of singles, which makes the configuration genuinely practical for families travelling with children. Four bathrooms serve the full property, each fitted with rainfall shower, bidet, and the toiletries you'd expect at this level.
INDOOR LIVING
The main sala has the kind of living room you don't want to leave in the evenings, plush sofas, books worth reading, a large TV for the nights when no one wants to move, and that vaulted ceiling giving the whole room a sense of scale that photos never quite capture. The dining room has an unhurried quality to it: ornately carved chairs around a table that seats the full group, French windows looking out over the pool and garden, and the smell of whatever the kitchen has going. The kitchen itself is fully equipped with a gas stove, coffee maker, and a microwave, and access to fresh herbs grown in the villa's own garden. That last detail matters more than it sounds.
THE YOGA SHALA
This is the feature most villas in Weligama can't offer and most guests don't expect to find here. Sevena has its own dedicated Yoga Shala, a private, sheltered space for practice with the sounds of the garden all around it. For groups who want a structured morning routine away from a public class, this changes the character of a stay considerably. Book a visiting instructor through LCSL, or simply use the space quietly at your own pace. There are few better ways to start a day on the south coast of Sri Lanka.
OUTSIDE & THE POOL
The turquoise pool sits at the centre of the garden, ringed by sun loungers and shaded by the villa's canopy of tropical trees. Extensive lawns stretch out around it, open enough for children to run in, wild enough at the edges to feel genuinely immersed in the landscape rather than sitting in a managed resort garden. The outdoor dining area and veranda connect the inside and outside effortlessly. Barbecue evenings here, with the garden lit and the wildlife settled for the night, are the kind of evenings groups plan to do once and end up doing every other night.
DINING
Sevena Villa is fully staffed, with a private in-house chef at the centre of the experience. The kitchen team works across Sri Lankan, Asian, and Western cuisine, adapts to dietary requirements without making an issue of it, and takes genuine pride in the food that comes out. Past guests have consistently rated the meals as better than anything they ate in restaurants during their trip, and given what Weligama's restaurant scene offers, that is not a low bar. Meals are served wherever the group prefers: the dining room, the veranda, the poolside, or spread across the garden on a good evening. Grocery costs for ingredients are payable separately.
LOCATION & NEARBY
Sevena sits in a quiet lane off the main coastal road, close enough to everything, removed enough from it that the villa itself feels genuinely private. Turtle Bay Beach is a three-minute drive. Midigama Beach, one of the south coast's most consistent surf breaks, is also three minutes. Weligama Bay, where the beginner-to-intermediate surf schools operate and the town's café strip runs along the sand, is ten minutes by tuk-tuk. Mirissa, for whale and dolphin watching between November and April, is 13 minutes. Galle Fort is around 50 minutes up the coast highway. For longer days out, Yala National Park for leopard and elephant is roughly 2.5 hours by road, and the Udawalawe elephant reserve is under two hours. LCSL can arrange drivers, surf lessons, whale watching, and excursions, speak to our team when you book.

My family had the most wonderful stay here on the last leg of our Sri Lanka trip. We knew it would be the best of the places we stayed just from the photos, but we were not prepared for just how little the photos did the place justice, but more importantly, the incredible staff there. The house was gorgeous, beautifully set out to maximise comfort, everything you would need was accounted for. But it was Kavindu & Eranda who made the stay as incredible as it was. They took such great care of us, and Erandas food was 10/10 every single time, making any requests so very well especially for our children. He tailored to their requests while also making incredible authentic local cuisine for the adults followed by the best desserts.
Kavindu I can't praise enough. He took such good care of us always with a smiling face and always ready to help. Our stay was so wonderful because of him and I can't thank him enough for everything he did to make sure our trip ended on the highest of notes. We never wanted to leave!! Thank you Kavindu, Eranda, and the team ❤️
We were a group of 14 people, and we felt right at home. The entire staff was incredibly attentive and took care of every detail! We will definitely be back.
We had a really special family holiday with three generations at Sevena Villa. The villa is outside Welligama in the countryside with a lovely pool, beautiful garden and lots of visiting wildlife which the kids loved. The whole team took really good care of us and the food at the villa was better than anything we ate outside. Recommend really highly for families or friends.
Beautiful house, the staff (Kovindu, Eranga, and Sandru) were very welcoming and available at all times. We stayed from January 22nd to 25th as a family and we all loved this villa, especially the pool!
We will come back next time and stay longer.
We had the most beautiful stay at Sevena villa. From the moment we arrived, it felt peaceful, spacious and thoughtfully designed. The interiors were elegant yet comfortable, with attention to detail that made it feel both luxurious and welcoming.
The bedrooms were generous and private, the beds incredibly comfortable, and the bathrooms immaculate. The kitchen was fully equipped and perfect for relaxed meals, while the outdoor area was a true highlight — morning coffee by the pool and evenings spent unwinding in total serenity.
What truly made the experience exceptional, however, was the wonderful staff. Every need was taken care of with warmth, attentiveness and genuine care. Nothing felt like too much trouble. Their presence made the stay not only comfortable, but deeply relaxing — we felt completely looked after from beginning to end.
The location was ideal — private and quiet, yet close enough to everything we needed. We would absolutely return and highly recommend this villa to anyone wanting a seamless, restorative escape.
We have had 6 wonderful days in Sevena Villa! Lovely house and garden, lovely pool, clean and tidy - very quiet area where you can really relax and see/hear a lot of different animals.
Fantastic staff, who were available when we needed them - and who in a very pleasant way made sure that everything was clean and tidy at all times and we could just sit back and enjoy our holiday.
The food tasted good, although we think the price was a bit on the high side compared to what we have paid in other villas and restaurants - and the portions were very small. This concept could be looked at again, as it is way overpriced for the ingredients!
We had an expectation of a functional kitchen, as we wanted to cook breakfast ourselves - this was not the case, however. We did find a solution with the landlord.
All in all, a good stay and can definitely be recommended.
Loved our stay, the house was beautiful, quiet location.it was such a Perfect and peaceful stay and the staff were very accomodating to us. We will be returning next year.
We all had an amazing stay at hotel Sevena. The staff were all absolutely amazing. Kaindu, in particular, was so kind, helpful and attentive - he really made our stay special and we are so grateful. Nothing was too much trouble. The setting was beautiful - so calming. Lots of wildlife too! It was so clean and comfortable, the food was delicious. 100% would recommend. Thank you!
We had a great stay at Sevena Villa. I loved seeing the animals that would pop into the yard. Monkeys, peacocks and Mongoose. Kavindu was fantastic and always helpful.
Everyone had a great time. The manager was extremely helpful in arranging activities like yoga sessions and spa treatments at the villa. The staff were warm and welcoming, while still giving us plenty of privacy and space to relax. The villa itself was spacious and comfortable, with more than enough room for our group. Overall, a really enjoyable and well-managed stay.
Loved our time in the villa. Lovely house on a beautiful property, great rooms and service. Is a little bit far out of town, but the villa team were happy to help organise tuk tuks.
We stayed in June 2026. The villa was immaculate from the beginning of our stay until the end. The food was amazing and the service provided by everyone was fantastic. This was the perfect stay for our family. We really enjoyed the living spaces and bedrooms. It was very peaceful.The location is also perfect for visiting so many popular towns close by including Weligama, Ahangama and Mirissa. Would highly recommend this villa and can’t wait to be back

10 of us enjoyed the space & jackie was the perfect villa manager! good food, comfyyyy rooms & seating around the villa.
Getting there is a bit tricky first time, but ok once u know the way!
Amazing weekend spent at this beautiful condo with a big group. Jackie and team were superb and the food they prepared for us was way better than any restaurant we went to in Weligama!
Our stay at Sevana Villa was nothing short of exceptional. The villa itself was beautiful , lush greenery and just a short distance from the Weligama beach. The rooms, private pool, and outdoor area provided the perfect setting for relaxation and enjoyment.
Chef Janaka was a culinary expert. His dishes were not only delicious but also beautifully presented. From fresh seafood to traditional Sri Lankan curries, every meal was a delightful experience. The other staff members, Kavinda and Gayan, were incredibly helpful and attentive, ensuring that our every need was met.

Sevena Villa played home to our group of 7 friends and an infant for almost a week, and is definitely a highlight of our entire Sri Lankan holiday. The villa exceeded our expectations, with very well done up and comfortable spaces, a fully equipped kitchen, loads of sunshine and most importantly a team of caretakers who really go above and beyond. Every meal was made with love and Janaka along with the assistance of Kavindu and others ensured that we were taken care of throughout our stay. Fresh towels (separate for bath and the pool), rooms cleaned and beds made every morning, meals served on the clock (keeping our intolerances and preference in mind), and the kitchen always spic and span!
We made use of every part of the house - the pool during the day and in the evenings, the dining table not only for amazingly flavourful meals but also for multiple games of Catan, the couches while we watched television or lounged, the balconies for cups of coffee while you soak in the sun, the kitchen (where I managed to bake a cake) and the lawns where the boys even managed to fit in a friendly match of cricket!
We’re definitely going to be recommending this property to loads of friends and family!

Don’t skip on this villa!
The villa and grounds are beautiful with visiting peacocks and monkeys in the trees.
It has the comfort and ease of home but with the luxury and service of a 5* hotel. Kavindu made sure our every need taken care of and Eranda cooked us the most delicious food all week. Our favourites were Egg Hoppers, Tuna Curry, Chicken and Roast Cashews.
We didn’t want to leave. Thank you for the most amazing week.
This stay was definitely one of the most beautiful and comfortable stays we have had ..
We were a group of 7 and we're made to feel right at home by the staff in the property Kavindu and Gayan.. The chief Janaka prepared the tastiest meals that made it very easy for us to stay in and relax and Kavindu looked after us throughout!
This beautiful and spacious property is situated off the Main Street and is surrounded by lush green.. the staff will help arrange for a car/tuk tuk when required..
The beds are very comfortable, hot water on demand and a lovely swimming pool to relax in..
We also saw peacocks on the property.. Will definitely love to go back..
