Reviews of Serendipity Mirissa

Spent two lovely afternoons visiting here (did not stay in rooms and did not have food) the staff were super friendly and welcoming. Lovely selection of juice / smoothies and lovely coffee. The pool is super clean and yes there are dogs here (welcome to Sri Lanka!) who were all in good health and super friendly.
Beach front and recommend a visit.
Thank you to the staff here for being so lovely 😊

Ruwan and the staff at Serendipity were outstanding. We could not fault the service they provided. Traditional Sri Lankan breakfast on offer, good coffee and cocktails.

We had a room facing the road which was a little noisy but it was cleaned and maintained excellently. We spent most of our time downstairs relaxing in the different areas.

The location is great, 5 minutes out of Mirissa so you have the beach to yourself. We made friends with Madu the Tuk Tuk driver recommended by the manager and we used him for all of our stay.

We will be back!

We came for our honeymoon and had the best time. The staff were kind, fun, attentive but also professional. The hotel itself was beautiful and clean, the beach is wonderful and the seating is comfortable and varied. The staff made sure we had everything we needed and more, booing any experiences we wanted at a great price and conviene time. The food and drinks menu was excellent and we were excited to try something new each day. We are sad to leave for our next destination!!

We had an absolutely amazing time!🌴✨

During the day, we relaxed right on the beach, soaking up the sun and enjoying fantastic cocktails — the atmosphere was perfect for unwinding. In the evening, we moved over to the restaurant and were truly impressed by the food. It was outstanding — beautifully presented and full of flavor.

The entire location is an absolute dream: stylish, relaxed, and designed with so much attention to detail. The service was warm, attentive, and professional — we felt welcome from the very first moment.

We’re already looking forward to coming back next year and making this one of our stops again — and hopefully we’ll even be able to stay in one of the rooms next time. Highly recommended!🌴☀️🌴

This was a beautiful hotel situated next to a beautiful beach. The staff were so friendly and accommodating. the rooms were finished to a high standard and very clean. The drinks, the breakfast and lunch were exquisite. We also needed a launderette and the staff kindly referred our cleaning to a local launderette, which is also great and made the remainder of our holiday. I liked that the hotel was not overly busy which gave it a nice, calm feeling and also quite private. I would definitely recommend this hotel to my friends and family and will definitely be returning in the new future.

After my wonderful experiences at Sen Wellness Sanctuary and Rekawa Wellness, I was excited to try another innovation from the same group : Serendipity Mirissa , and it certainly did not disappoint.

Even though I stayed for one day, the experience was excellent from start to finish. The group continues to surprise me with their uniqueness and thoughtful approach to hospitality, and this hotel was no exception.

The hotel and its attached restaurant were both fantastic. The food was delicious, fresh, and beautifully prepared, and the staff were incredibly friendly, warm, and welcoming, which made the stay even more enjoyable. The adjacent beach area was clean, peaceful, and perfect for relaxing.

The location is also very convenient. Its just a few minutes away from Mirissa Beach and other major tourist attractions. Despite being situated next to the main road, the rooms were quiet and comfortable, allowing for a restful stay.

Overall, it was a lovely experience, and I would definitely recommend Serendipity Mirissa to anyone looking for comfort, great food, and the same high standards of wellness and hospitality that the Sen Wellness group consistently delivers.

Fuimos a tomar algo ya que tienen tumbonas mientras nos bañábamos en el mar. Pedimos los shakes que son super buenos y refrescantes. También comimos ahí pescados muy ricos, calamar, ensalada y alitas. El servicio fue excelente! Sadakelum es muy amable y está súper atento. Gracias por todo 🙂
