Offers & Long-Stay Benefits
Every benefit on this page exists for one reason: you booked directly with us. We are a family of villa hosts living in Hikkaduwa and Rathgama, and when you message us on WhatsApp instead of going through Airbnb or another booking platform, the commission those platforms would take stays in the deal — so we can hand it back to you as a lower rate and real extras. None of the offers below are available through Airbnb or any other OTA. They apply only to reservations made directly with us.
If you are planning a long stay villa in Hikkaduwa or a monthly villa in Rathgama, the long-stay benefits are the place to start — a monthly accommodation discount, a complimentary guided experience, and money off your airport shuttle. Everything else here rewards guests who send us friends, come back in a different season, or simply come back.

28+ nights: monthly rate, a free guided experience and 10% off an airport shuttle.

One rule governs everything below, and it is deliberately simple:
- Accommodation discounts never stack. If more than one applies to your booking, we give you the single best one — you never have to work out which offer to claim, and you never lose out by choosing wrong.
- The return-guest 5% is the exception. It stacks with any other offer, so returning guests always save a little more than first-timers.
- Non-accommodation perks stack on top. Kayaking, airport transfers and other experiences are separate from your room rate, so they add to your accommodation discount rather than replacing it.
1. Long-Stay Benefits — from 28 Nights
Our villas were built for slow travel, and most of our long-stay guests are couples, remote workers and digital nomads who settle in for a month or more. Book 28 nights or longer and your rate drops to our monthly rate, with a few things on the house.
28 nights or more
- Our standard monthly accommodation discount on the nightly rate.
- One complimentary guided experience. At both Birdsong Villa and Villa Serene Luxe, this is guided kayaking on Rathgama Lagoon for up to 2 guests — a 50 m walk from Birdsong, and with transport to the lagoon included from Serene Luxe. See lagoon kayaking.
- 10% off one airport shuttle — arrival or departure, your choice.
42 nights or more
- Everything in the 28-night tier above, plus
- 10% off one cinnamon experience — a hands-on morning with a local cinnamon family. See the cinnamon experience.
The complimentary experience, the shuttle discount and the cinnamon discount are all non-accommodation perks, so they combine with your monthly discount rather than replacing it.
Both Birdsong Villa in Rathgama and Villa Serene Luxe near Hikkaduwa beach are set up for long stays, with fast Wi-Fi, a proper kitchen and a workspace. Tell us your dates and we will send you the monthly figure.
2. Referral Programme
Most of our guests find us because someone told them about us, and we would rather thank you for that than spend the money on advertising. Both sides of the introduction save.
How it works
- The guest you refer gets 5% off an eligible stay with us.
- You get 5% off a future eligible stay, credited once the guest you referred has completed their reservation.
The referral accommodation discount does not stack with the monthly long-stay discount. If your friend books 28 nights or more, they receive the monthly discount instead — which is the bigger saving of the two.
How to claim: when you enquire on WhatsApp, just mention your friend's name and their booking. That is all we need to apply it — there are no codes, links or forms.
3. Seasonal Loyalty Reward
Off-season on the south coast is greener, quieter and — in our honest opinion — underrated. Guests who spend a long stretch with us during those months get something back for their next visit in the busy season.
How it works
- Complete a stay of 28 nights or more during off-season (May – October).
- Receive 10% off a future 5 to 27 night stay during peak season (November – April).
- The reward is issued only after your off-season stay is complete, not at the time of booking.
This is a standalone accommodation discount: it does not combine with the monthly long-stay discount, the referral discount, the return-guest discount, or any other accommodation discount. It is the one case where the return-guest 5% does not stack on top.
For example: stay 30 nights at Birdsong Villa in July, and once you check out we issue you 10% off a 10-night return visit the following January.
4. Return-Guest Discount
We don't aim for one-time stays. If you have stayed at any Eranorris villa before, you get 5% off when you come back — and this is the one accommodation discount that stacks with any other offer that applies to your booking, including the monthly long-stay discount.
Just message us from the same number, or mention your previous stay, and we will recognise you.
The small print. Each benefit applies once per reservation unless stated otherwise. All benefits are subject to availability, and guided experiences are additionally subject to suitable weather — if the lagoon isn't safe or the rain doesn't let up, we will reschedule with you rather than send you out in it. Benefits have no cash value and cannot be exchanged for a discount, a refund or anything else. Offers are not combinable except exactly as described above, and they apply only to stays booked directly with us, not through Airbnb or any other booking platform.
