About Serendivi

A serene space between beach and grove

Escape the confinement of a restless, fast-paced city and whisk yourself away to Serendivi — a truly serene space nestled between the pristine, golden beach of Kahandamodara and shady coconut groves, where you can witness every sunset melt into the turquoise waters and become one with nature and yourself.

Serendivi is a beachfront bespoke property on Sri Lanka's south coast, designed in tasteful post-modern architecture. Its column-less construction was a deliberate design choice so nothing obstructs the panoramic views of the Indian Ocean — the architecture lets you enjoy unhindered views in every direction. The villa combines the facilities of a resort with the cosy, familiar nature of a modern villa.

The name "Serendivi" means "a place that one happens to come across during a journey and falls hopelessly in love with."

  • A few steps from the golden, untouched Kahandamodara Beach — a turtle-nesting beach where fishermen still launch their boats as they have for generations.
  • The same spot offers views of both sunrise and sunset.
  • A base for Yala and Udawalawe safaris, the Mulkirigala rock temple and the Rekawa turtle hatchery.
  • Kalametiya bird sanctuary, whale watching in Mirissa, Kataragama, and the Shangri-La Hambantota golf course are all within reach.

Rooms & Suites

Six bedrooms, all facing the ocean

Rooms are designed to resonate post-modern luxury with completely minimalist chic décor, unobstructed ocean views, and natural light. As the villa puts it: "Head into your shower area for a pleasantly surprising view of the Indian Ocean, where you can witness the sun rise in the horizon as you sink in to a warm bath."

Gorgeous small beachfront boutique hotel, with only 6 rooms. Impressive rooms with state of the art bathrooms. Particularly lovely pool. Wonderful friendly staff. A perfect base for quiet relaxation. Highly recommended.

A stunning and spacious villa located at the edge of Tangalle, offering direct access to an unspoiled, expansive stretch of beach that remains blissfully uncrowded. We stayed for two nights with our pet dog, and the level of service and attentiveness we received was exceptional… The food, especially the seafood, was incredibly fresh and made to order.

Tripadvisor Guest · October 2024 · Travelled with family · Tripadvisor

Brilliant staff especially Fareese and the 2 chefs. So attentive. The food was divine. Fantastic room and views and the pool is amazing. Free bikes and kayaks. The beach was stunning and we had it to ourselves. One of the best places you could ever stay.

Tripadvisor Guest · September 2024 · Tripadvisor

Our stay in Serendivi was absolutely perfect! The place is incredibly beautiful, a modernly decorated villa with a pool right in front of the ocean. … The place has a chef that cooks the meals for you upon request, the price is reasonable (only breakfast was included) and the food is great!

Great Hotel with an amazing service and delicious food. We wanted to stay for three nights, ended up staying for 7. If you want to relax and enjoy a peaceful stay, I can definitely recommend this place.

fredij2016 · Reviewed 16 February 2020 · Stayed February 2020 · Tripadvisor

Everything was just amazing! My partner and I were the only guests for 4 days. We got the half-board package which included breakfast and dinner. We are vegan and the chef accommodated us very easily — and the food was amazing! The room view is stunning. The shower is really good. The bed is super comfortable.

Christina Plate · Visitor review · serendivi.lk

Enjoyed our time at Serendivi Resort Villa. I loved seeing the fisherman hauling nets in with lots of fresh fish and lobster, which the chef prepared for lunch! Also enjoyed riding a quad bike along the beach. To see the beautiful sunrise and sunset was a wonderful experience.

Shyamala Thiele · Visitor review · serendivi.lk

We had an amazing time during our stay. The rooms were super cozy, and the food at every meal was simply delicious! … Riding a quad bike on the beach, playing badminton, bike rides and a cool dip in the pool overlooking the ocean to top it all off.

This property is one of the best in Sri Lanka. Nestled in a lovely beach setting, with the most breathtaking room views of a clear ocean. The beach in front of the property is clean and just lovely.
