Villa Serendipity

Koggala, Southern Province, Sri Lanka

The serendipitous discovery of Villa Serendipity on the shores of the Koggala lake in southern Sri Lanka offers its guests a different kind of experience from the usual villas dotting the southern coastline.

The Koggala lake is renown for an abundance of birds and is covered with small uninhabited mangrove islands to be explored.

This backdrop makes Villa Serendipity the ideal getaway for those who crave some peace, quiet and serenity in a luxurious villa, with the exception of the pleasant twitter of birds.

The large two story building has been especially designed for its guests to appreciate the stunning surroundings to the fullest.

With large bay windows facing the Koggala lake, high ceilings, open spaces tastefully decorated with carefully chosen antique furnishings, the common living room at Villa Serendipity has many cosy corners to read a good book or lounge on a comfy sofa.

With a veranda overlooking the 20 meter infinity pool and the garden extending over onto the Koggala lake, Villa Serendipity is ideally placed for its guests to feel at one with nature whilst experiencing the best of modern luxuries.

Villa Serendipity has four elegant and spacious bedrooms in the main building with canopy beds, private sitting areas, writing tables and bathtubs.

A more private suite in available in the garden overlooking the lake with its own billiard table.

The villa is fully staff fully staffed with friendly team who will do their utmost to ensure their guests perfect and unforgettable stay at Villa Serendipity.

Villa Serendipity is ideally located with easy access to many sightseeing opportunities including the UNESCO world heritage site of Galle Fort; sea-turtle hatcheries in Kosgoda and Koggala; boat rides to discover local birdlife as well as the islands on the neighbouring Koggala lake and snorkeling in the Unawatuna bay.

Planning your Sri Lanka Experience
AIRPORT TRANSFERS
Depending on the number of guests arriving at once, a variety of vehicle options are available including saloon cars, 4 wheel drives, and people carriers, as well as fixed wing sea planes and helicopters.
GUIDED CYCLING
Sometimes the simpler things in life provide the greatest pleasure. Guided bike tours through the lush green paddy fields give a glimpse of an often unseen part of Sri Lanka. Marvel at kingfishers and bee-eaters, glimpse the daily rituals of village life or just enjoy the cool breeze of free-wheeling through a magnificent landscape. This has been a longtime top excursion.
WELCOME BASKETS
There’s nothing better after a long journey than delicious smells coming from the kitchen and a few bottles chilling in the fridge. We will send you the villa menus and work with the best suppliers to produce a fantastic collection of wines and champagnes to complement any palette. Wines need to be paid for in advance of arrival.
KANDYAN DANCERS / BUDDHIST BLESSINGS
An intimate front row seat of the unique Kandyan Dancers – expect back-flips, drums, masks and fire display – all from the comfort of the villa. Most villas have a shrine and guests can benefit from a visit by Monks from a nearby Temple to conduct a blessing for a gentle and moving experience.
WHALE WATCHING
From December to April Whales and dolphins, including the mighty Blue Whale, can be seen off the southern coast. Seeing one of the largest animals on earth in one of the most agreeable temperatures is a truly amazing experience. We always recommend a private boat so that guests can swim or snorkel before coming ashore.
SAFARI
Udewalawa and Yala are the big two and offer fantastic game viewing of Leopards, Elephants, Buffalo & Sloth Bears. For birders, SL is a dream destination. Kalametiya and Bandula National Park are a must and some 197 different species of bird will stop here throughout the year.
SUNSET SAILING
Setting out from Mirissa harbor to enjoy the sunset from the comfort of a luxury catamaran has been one of our top-rated experiences. For 3 hours embrace the joys of the ocean, sipping a sundowner or snorkeling. This is an unforgettable experience and one your clients will treasure forever.
