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 beach, shops, restaurants and transport hubs of Weligama, 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.

We can promise a private, friendly, inclusive, serene and comfortable place to stay for at least part of your holiday. We’re happy to provide further information on this site to help you decide if Serendipity is the right match for you.

Serendipity Latest News:

Visitors to Sri Lanka will be pleased to know that many prices have been coming down in recent months, and the exchange rate for tourists is at a much more favourable level than it was only two years ago, offering great value for money for visitors to this most beautiful country.
 

In March we had a fun birthday party and an Irish friend visiting from London. We checked out Shennigans Irish Bar in Weligama for St Patrick’s Day. Definitely worth a visit.

There’s been lots of wildlife around again, too.

As we head into April, it’s getting rather hot as usual. Our Sri Lankan friends are starting to get busy preparing for Sinhalese & Tamil New Year on 13th/14th April. If you’re visiting the island then, we hope you have a great time as well.

Look out for some special offers coming soon on our rates for the forthcoming low season. Whatever, the time of year, amidst all of the surrounding nature at Serendipity, it’s easy to forget your day to day worries. That is our aim for you during your visit.
