Experience world-class dining, cocktails, and boutique comfort in the heart of Mirissa, Sri Lanka.

Wir sind so glücklich, dass wir dieses Hotel gefunden haben. Es ist ein kleines Hotel mit nur 6 Zimmern, die sehr schön eingerichtet sind. Wir hatten ein Zimmer mit Meerblick und es war ein Traum. Wir haben ein Begrüßungsgetränk bekommen und unser Gepäck wurde von den netten Mitarbeitern hochgetragen. Das Hotel ist so wunderschön gestaltet und hat einen Pool und eine Terrasse, sowie einen direkten Zugang zum Strand, wo Liegen und Sonnenschirme stehen. Wir haben jeden Tag frische Strand Handtücher bekommen. An dem gesamten Strand waren wir die meiste Zeit komplett alleine! Von den anderen Hotelgästen hat man nicht viel mitbekommen. Das Frühstück war total lecker und die Mitarbeiter haben wirklich einen tollen Job gemacht. Wir haben auch eine private Cooking Class gemacht und haben leckeres Essen gekocht, welches wir danach verspeisen durften. Der Hotel Manager hat uns einen netten Tuktuk Fahrer organisiert, der uns zu local Spots gefahren hat. Mirissa Zentrum ist in ca 5 min mit dem Tuktuk erreichbar. Es war ein pures Urlaubsgefühl und der Strand ähnelt dem der Malediven. 100%ige Empfehlung!

It was a really nice stay . I really loved the location the beach is right in front of you. the rooms are spacious and cozy and has a great balcony experience. I loved the services especially the manager and the workers were always available for us. My sister fell sick and they really helped me. You can go for it wothout second thoughts

The place is nice, a bit far from the city center but that’s not a problem since we can use a tuk-tuk.
The place is clean and quiet, and the staff are amazing.
It feels very safe.
The pool is relatively small, and the beach in front of the hotel is not suitable for swimming

What an absolute gem of a boutique hotel we found for a 3 night stay and because it exceeded our expectations, we extended our stay.
Ruwn, the manager , was outstanding and you can see he’s the training the team well. The food including the breakfast was fresh and delicious. As a family of 4 we would have no hesitation in recommending this venue for its food.
We asked on one day about culinary classes that could be recommended and without hesitation, Ruwn offered to host our own personal culinary class at the hotel with his Executive Head Chef leading the team and Ruwn making sure it exceeded our expectations.
I think it has one of the most stunning beach fronted hotels I’ve ever stayed and I genuinely hope my review is useful and other guests get to meet the lovely manager Ruwn and his team of rising stars

A Magical Beachfront Escape at Serendipity Mirissa – A Stay to Remember!

We had the absolute pleasure of spending 4 unforgettable nights at Serendipity Mirissa, and from the moment we arrived, we were blown away by the warm hospitality, stunning beachfront location, and exceptional experiences on offer.

One of the standout highlights of our stay was the incredible cooking course. It was not just informative but truly hands-on and immersive — a perfect way to connect with Sri Lankan culture through its vibrant cuisine. We learned to prepare a variety of traditional dishes, all bursting with authentic flavors, and the team made the whole experience both educational and fun. It was a definite trip highlight!

The meals at Serendipity were consistently excellent. From fresh breakfasts served with a smile each morning to delicious lunches and unforgettable dinners, every meal was a treat that suited everyone.

The hotel itself is ideally located right on the beach, offering unbeatable views to wake up too and the soothing sound of the ocean around the clock. Our rooms were all beautifully kept, with thoughtful details and a relaxed, airy vibe that made it easy to unwind.

But what truly makes Serendipity Mirissa special is the staff — kind, attentive, and genuinely passionate about making your stay perfect. They went above and beyond to ensure we were comfortable and happy every single day especially Ruwan the general manager who clearly loves his job and is excellent.

If you’re looking for a place in Sri Lanka that offers not just a stay, but a full experience of local culture, cuisine, and coastal beauty, Serendipity Mirissa is the place to be. We left feeling completely refreshed, inspired, and already dreaming of our return!

A Slice of Paradise with a Personal Touch!

We had the most incredible stay at this rustic beachfront gem in the south of Sri Lanka. If you’re looking for a place that combines natural beauty with warm hospitality and understated luxury, this is it.

The setting is pure magic – tucked away on a quiet stretch of golden beach, fringed with palm trees and the sound of waves as your constant soundtrack. The accommodation strikes a perfect balance: charmingly rustic, yet thoughtfully finished with high-quality touches that make you feel truly cared for. Everything from the hand-carved wooden furniture to the crisp linens felt intentionally curated.

What really set our stay apart, though, was the team. Attentive without being intrusive, always smiling, and genuinely passionate about what they do. A standout highlight was the Sri Lankan cookery course they arranged just for me and my family. It was more than just a class – it was an experience. From visiting the local market to learning about spices and traditional cooking methods, we felt fully immersed. We cooked (and devoured) dishes like coconut sambol, hoppers, and a fragrant fish curry, all under the kind and expert guidance of the in-house chef. Even our kids were engaged and had fun getting their hands dirty!

If you’re after an escape that feels authentic, restorative, and rich in local flavour – with a team that truly goes the extra mile – I couldn’t recommend this place more highly. We left with full hearts, happy bellies, and memories we’ll talk about for years.

Outstanding food and service in a stunning beachfront location. Cocktails were great, tuna was excellent. We will definitely return on our next visit to mirissa. thank you

Fuimos a cenar un grupo grande y el servicio fue excelente. El dueño nos hizo sentir como en casa y la comida excelente.

Serendipity is seriously special!

The restaurant alone is worth the trip and it had some of the best Sri Lankan cuisine I had during my entire month in the country.

Their handcrafted cocktails at sunset were incredible and the beachfront setting made every meal feel like a special occasion

The boutique room was beautifully designed and so peaceful. You can hear the waves from bed which was perfect after long days exploring. The whole place feels intimate with only a handful of rooms so it never felt crowded.

The location is perfect if you want that secluded beach vibe but still be close enough to Mirissa for day trips.

If you're looking for a boutique experience with amazing food and a beautiful Sri Lankan beach setting, this place delivers.

Il posto è meraviglioso e lo staff di una cordialità infinita, la cucina è buonissima ed è possibile mangiare direttamente sulla spiaggia, il manager ruwan è una persona squisita risolve tutti i problemi e le richieste di cui avete bisogno, lo consiglio tantissimo

Amazing food and even better vibes at Serendipity Mirissa. Right on the beach. Super fresh sea food and lovely service.

A Must-Visit Beachfront Gem in Kamburugamuwa!

This newly opened beachfront restaurant & bar in Matara is a paradise for food lovers and ocean seekers! With breathtaking views, mouthwatering seafood, and handcrafted cocktails, every moment here feels magical.

Fresh flavors, tropical vibes, and sunset-perfect drinks—what more could you ask for? Whether it’s a romantic dinner, a fun night out, or a chill beach day, this spot has it all.

SERENDIPITY 🇱🇰

Its a great location by the beach. Quiet serene environment. Staff were really helpful and recommend this place to anyone. Will visit again.

Experience was amazing pls come here

We were a bit underwhelmed with food in Sri Lankan south coast. Most restaurants in Mirissa look beautiful and have high ratings (probably fake) but they lack the depth of taste. Serendipity came as a positive surprise.

The food had a good level of spice, sour, salty and sweet. The chef came to our table to ask if the food was ok - a very kind gesture. Prices were very fair and value for money much better than the beachfront seafood restaurants on Mirissa main beach. I wish we discovered this place earlier.

Bonus points: the cleanest bathrooms we’ve seen in any restaurant here.
