A beautiful British owned guest house, Serendipity has recently been completely refurbished. Located in a tranquil village area close to Weligama, our lush garden boasts an array of fruit, vegetables and spices. These are used in our kitchen and allow us to offer a variety of seasonal fresh organic food to our guests. The front verandah presents an ‘infinity garden’ effect, looking across to the verdant woodland opposite. You can expect to see many natural local visitors, from peacocks and other exotic birdlife, to squirrels, chameleons, iguanas, and even the occasional monkey swinging in the trees nearby. We're surrounded by cinnamon plantations, paddy fields and a variety of jungle trees, all adding to the calm rural ambience. Our enticing swimming pool will enhance your stay here, as well as offering a place to cool down in the heat of the Sri Lankan sun. You can also get a massage from a local ayurvedic masseur in our very own massage hut - a space that can also be used for yoga and meditation. We believe that our friendly, inclusive and quiet ‘out of town’ location makes Serendipity the perfect place to experience an uncomplicated stay.

Serendipity is owned by Gavin F. London born and bred, he first visited Sri Lanka in 2004 and fell in love with this beautiful country. In late 2017 he purchased Serendipity, and undertook a full refurbishment of the property, along with the addition of a beautiful swimming pool and, more recently, a massage/meditation hut. Running his own business as a copywriter and proofreader, as well as promoting Sri Lanka as a tourist and business destination, he loves showing his guests the delights that the island can offer. He will be in residence for much of the year (especially during the winter 'high' season) and is happy to offer any help that is requested. He is a big fan of the BBC TV show, Doctor Who, and of Eurovision! ** Gavin is not currently present at the property but will return in mid-January 2024. When he is not there, our housekeeper, Dilshan will be responsible for looking after you. He has more than 18 years of experience in the hospitality industry in Sri Lanka, working with tourists and visitors at both large and small hotels and restaurants. He speaks good English, is a great cook, and is renowned for his big friendly smile. He also serves as our in-house tuk tuk driver for local journeys.

Set in a peaceful village in a ‘jungle’ location, close to the south coast beaches, Serendipity is the perfect choice for your base to both get some relaxation and explore this beautiful part of Sri Lanka. Located in almost half an acre of hilltop garden, Serendipity can indulge you with a quiet and relaxing place to stay, whilst still being close to the many attractions the area has to offer. If you just fancy lazing around at home, you can make use of our swimming pool or our massage/meditation hut to help you chill out. Away from the bustle of town and beach-life - with the persistent noise of trains, buses, car horns and beach parties - our serene location provides a great place to relax amidst the natural beauty of the Sri Lankan countryside. Located only 3.5km (2 miles) from the local beaches and the shops and restaurants of Weligama town, these can be reached by just a 10-minute ride in our tuk tuk. We're also within easy reach of the historic and picturesque Galle Fort. Promising a private, friendly, serene and comfortable place to stay for at least part of your holiday in Sri Lanka, we’re sure you'll find that Serendipity is the right match for you.
