La Veranda Di Serena - Unawatuna

Beachfront boutique hotel on Unawatuna's private bay with turtle sightings

Private Beach & Ocean Access

La Veranda Di Serena sits directly on a private beach area with a protected bay suitable for swimming and snorkeling. Guests can watch resident sea turtles swimming from the balcony while eating breakfast or relaxing on the sunbeds. The hotel's location on Unawatuna Beach provides safe swimming conditions thanks to the rocky outcrops that reduce wave intensity.

Room Types & Views

The hotel offers Deluxe Rooms with Sea View, Deluxe Double Rooms with Sea View, and Apartments with Sea View, all featuring air conditioning and private bathrooms. The top-floor Apartment with Sea View includes a generous living area with two showers and direct ocean views from every room including the bathroom. Garden View rooms provide a budget-friendly option while still offering access to the hotel's private beach and shared terrace.

Activities & On-Site Services

Guests can arrange diving, fishing, cycling, and snorkeling through the on-site tour desk with bicycle rental available. La Veranda Di Serena offers cooking classes and bike tours along with walking tours that explore local culture. The 24-hour front desk provides currency exchange, car hire, and airport shuttle services with pickup and drop-off included.

Dining & Facilities

Breakfast is served on the terrace overlooking the ocean, featuring fresh fruit juice, eggs, toast, and Sri Lankan omelets upon request. The hotel's restaurant offers special diet menus and kids' meals, and the bar serves wine and champagne with breakfast in the room available. A shared kitchen and lounge area are accessible to all guests, and packed lunches can be arranged for day trips.

Family & Children

La Veranda Di Serena provides babysitting and child services along with family rooms accommodating groups. Children have direct access to the private beach area, and the protected bay allows for safe swimming under supervision.
