Property Type: private 3-bedroom, 3-bathroom villa with a swimming pool, open-plan living, fully equipped kitchen, and parking, set in a quiet residential area 20–25 minutes from the beach
The Situation Before The owner rented out the villa independently on one platform, with little marketing and static pricing. Occupancy sat at around 30%, and monthly net profit averaged $600, while pool maintenance, cleaning, and separate utility bills for electricity and water ate up over 35% of revenue. The villa’s spacious design, private pool, and child-friendly setup were largely invisible to families and groups of friends.
What We Did
Analytics & Dynamic Pricing Studied the premium villa market in the Ahangama–Midigama stretch, popular with families and surfers. Introduced dynamic pricing that rewards longer stays: a 15-night booking starts at $1,300, while the attractive full-month rate is set at $3,000. In peak season (December–March) the monthly rate rises to $5,000. These monthly rates represent gross rental income before operating costs, not the owner’s net profit.
Professional Marketing A full professional photoshoot captured the villa’s indoor-outdoor flow, the sun-drenched pool terrace, and the calm, light-filled interiors. Listed on Airbnb, Booking.com, and Vrbo, and ran targeted campaigns towards families, small groups, and couples from Europe, Australia, and North America seeking a private base near the southern beaches.
Service & Cost Optimization Streamlined the cleaning schedule, pool maintenance, and garden upkeep with clear weekly checklists. To simplify costs for guests, we introduced a fair-usage utility allowance built into the price, with transparent reporting. Launched a paid concierge menu: airport transfers, scooter and car rentals, private chef dinners by the pool, and guided whale-watching or surf trips. This added +11% to average booking value.
Transparent Management The owner receives a detailed monthly report with all invoices, receipts, and a full breakdown of income, utility consumption, and operational costs. All local tax and utility accounts are fully managed.
Results of Cooperation Adelia Group now handles everything: bookings, multilingual guest communication, coordination of housekeeping, pool, and garden staff, and complete financial reporting. The owner has no day-to-day involvement.

“Our villa was a lovely family home, but it barely paid for itself. Adelia Group transformed it into a highly booked retreat, and the whole process is completely stress-free for us. We just read the monthly reports and see exactly where every dollar goes. It’s exactly what we needed.” — owner of Villa Palm Haven.
