Welcome to Serendipity

Your tranquil retreat in southern Sri Lanka

Your home away from home in the beautiful southern province of Sri Lanka.

Set in a peaceful village in a ‘jungle’ location, close to the southern coastline, Serendipity is the perfect choice as your base to both relax and to explore this beautiful part of exotic Sri Lanka.

Located in almost half an acre of garden, our Serendipity oasis can indulge you with a hassle-free and hustle-free place to stay, whilst still being close to the many attractions the area has to offer. If you fancy a day lazing around at home, you can make use of our swimming pool or our massage/meditation hut to both invigorate and relax your body and mind. Or you can simply top up your tan on one of our sunbeds.

Away from the bustle of the town and the beach resorts – with the persistent noise of trains, buses, lorries and late-night parties – our serene location provides a great place to refresh your mind, body and soul amidst the natural beauty of the Sri Lankan countryside. Located only 3.5km (2 miles) from the shops and restaurants of Weligama town centre and the local beach, you can reach these convenient facilities with just a 10-minute ride in a tuk tuk. We also have good wi-fi and a strong phone network signal for your digital and communication needs.

Promising a private, friendly, inclusive, serene and comfortable place to stay for at least part of your holiday, we’re happy to provide further information here to help you decide if Serendipity is the right match for you.

I spent two weeks at Serendipity over Christmas. I loved the early morning, listening to the birds and watching the wildlife. Amazing place!.

In the morning there were peacocks walking near the territory, one was even on the roof. Perhaps one of the best places in Weligama.

Serendipity Latest News:

 
Nobody will deny that the world is in a bit of a mess at the moment. Sri Lanka has had its fair share of problems in recent years, but is rapidly getting back to normal and remains a great place to visit. The exchange rate for tourists is at a much more favourable rate than it was only two years ago, offering great value for money for visitors to this most beautiful country.

Amidst all the surrounding nature at Serendipity, it’s easy to forget the day to day worries that are still troubling the world. That is our aim for you during your visit.

Due to an imminent happy event for our housekeeper, Viraj, we are not currently taking any bookings until 28th December. In the meantime, we would like to wish all of our former guests and potential future guests a very Merry Christmas, wherever you are spending it.
