We had an absolutely amazing stay at this beautiful hotel in Mirissa, Sri Lanka! 🌴✨

The entire property is stunning, perfectly located, and very well maintained. The atmosphere is truly special and makes it easy to relax from the first moment. The staff is incredibly friendly, professional, and always attentive – you really feel welcomed and taken care of throughout your stay.

A special thank you to Sadakelum, who provided outstanding service. He was extremely attentive, professional, and genuinely kind – he made our experience even more memorable.

One of our highlights was the private dinner on the beach. It was beautifully arranged, the setting was romantic and unique, and the food quality was outstanding. A big thank you to Milinda for the excellent service during the dinner – everything was perfectly organized and very attentive. Also, compliments to the chef for the high-quality and delicious food!

We would also like to highlight the manager, who was always present, very helpful, and made sure all our wishes were fulfilled at any time.

The only small point for improvement would be the pool, which could use a bit more regular cleaning.

Overall, we had a fantastic stay and would absolutely recommend this hotel. Thank you for such a wonderful experience – we would love to come back! 🌊🌅

Хорошее место! Есть бассейн! Берешь что-то в баре и купаешься вдоволь. Дают полотенце. А с 17 до 19 счастливые часы, два напитка по цене одного

We enjoyed our stay here. Sadakelum Helped us lots when we were hanging around the villa and drinking/ eating in the space- there was a language barrier but he was very accomodating and he corrected any mistakes made. Thank you Serendipity and Sadakelum!

Stayed here for 4 nights. Staff were very good and friendly especially Sadakely M. It was my wife’s birthday and they were fantastic! Location is a bit out of the town but a Tuc tuc is easy to get. We didn’t eat there apart from the breakfasts which were great as we wanted to try lots of other restaurants.We had room 3 which gets traffic noise as it’s on the road side. All in all a great little place and would definitely recommend ☺️☀️

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 😊

Mein Freund hat mich hier mit einem privaten Dinner am Strand zum Geburtstag überrascht und es war einfach nur magisch. Das Team vom Serendipity hat das so liebevoll umgesetzt, mit Kerzen und Blumen im Sand.
Was den Abend aber wirklich besonders gemacht hat, war der Service. Wir hatten einen eigenen Kellner, der unglaublich aufmerksam war, ohne aufdringlich zu sein. Mein Freund hatte vorab Wein bestellt und der Kellner war wirklich extrem genau – er hat den Weinkühler ständig gecheckt und perfekt nachgeschenkt. Man hat sich richtig gut aufgehoben gefühlt.
Das Essen war absolute Spitzenklasse (besonders das Tatar und die Meeresfrüchte!). Insgesamt haben wir für das Privat-Dinner inklusive Wein ca. 95.000 LKR bezahlt. Das ist natürlich ein stolzer Preis, aber für diese Exklusivität und den perfekten Service war es für uns jeden Cent wert. Ein unvergesslicher Abend!

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 recently stayed at Serendipity and it was fantastic. Would highly recommend to anyone looking to stay in Mirrisa!

The food and cocktails were fantastic! The pool, facilities and rooms were 10/10! And Ruwan and all the staff went above and beyond to make our stay amazing!!

5 stars! We will be coming back!

Great place for hanging out! Super friendly staff, extremely good food! You have to try. We were here with small kids, the pool is great. Absolutely recommended.

Great location, conveniently located along the main road. That said, be prepared for a loud stay. The “city view” is blocked by the wooden panels of the exterior but it honestly didn’t bother us as we used this hotel as a place to sleep (with activities planned in the day).

It’s a no frills place and i’d emphasise on the convenience of location. The room we stayed in is clean, and the toilet is brightly lit. Ruwan & his team took care of us, and on a day where we left early for an activity, they prepared our late breakfast when we returned.
