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 🙂

I have just left this amazing place. From arrival to departure the experience was delightful
. We completely felt looked after by the staff who spoke good English. Spending our time on the beachfront on the very comfortable bean bags eating the best fresh food we have had in Sri Lanka…. Can’t complain. We will definitely return soon. Thank you for having us.

Company, location, service, food and ambience make up for a great holiday. Well, the company is totally on you but for the rest- Serendipity checks all the boxes. A small, cosy place with a magnificent view from the sit out, decent rooms with a good pool and a bar. The humble and pleasant staff are always ready to serve with a smile, trying their best to overcome the occasional language barrier. A great idea to book the entire place for a large group- makes for a fantastic private holiday. The cocktails are great, and the breakfast hoppers along with the Sri Lankan omelette make a happy start to the day. The manager, Ruwan, is open to feedback and set off making improvements to the place almost immediately. Serendipity is definitely a good choice to make!

We had an absolutely delightful stay with my family at Serendipity Mirissa and it truly felt like a little slice of paradise. From the moment we arrived, the warm hospitality of the staff made us feel right at home. Their genuine friendliness and helpful nature added so much joy to our holiday.

The location is unbeatable, right on the beautiful beachfront with stunning sea views.

Our room was comfortable, clean, and thoughtfully designed. The perfect place to unwind after a day of exploring Mirissa. The food was delicious too, with a great variety of dishes.

What made our stay truly memorable was the hospitality — especially from the manager and staff who went above and beyond to ensure we had everything we needed. Whether it was local recommendations or just a friendly chat, their care made all the difference.

We left with wonderful memories and would absolutely recommend Serendipity Mirissa for families, couples, or anyone looking for a relaxing, scenic beachfront getaway.

Очень красивое место с приятной атмосферой. Вежливый и внимательный персонал, заказы приносят быстро. Бассейн, океан, ненавязчивая музыка на фоне
Еда очень вкусная, получили настоящее удовольствие.
