Serendib Beach Hotel is a small beachfront hotel on the Galle Road at Galboda in Induruwa, just south of Bentota on Sri Lanka's south-western coast. It is a modest, three-star place with a handful of rooms, an outdoor pool and a garden that opens straight onto the sand, and it suits travellers who want a quiet stretch of beach rather than a large resort.
The hotel stands at 648 Galle Road, Galboda, in Induruwa, between the coast road and the beach, with direct access to the sand of Induruwa Beach. Bentota and its river lie a short drive to the north, and Kosgoda, known for its turtle hatcheries, is within about five minutes' drive to the south.
Bandaranaike International Airport (CMB) is about 115 km from Induruwa by road, and the drive usually takes around 2 hours, depending on traffic around Colombo. The simplest way to arrive after a long flight is a private airport transfer booked in advance with Lakpura: an English-speaking driver meets you in the arrivals hall and takes you straight to the hotel in an air-conditioned car, van or coach sized for your group, from 2 up to 15 guests, at a fixed price for the whole vehicle rather than per seat. The same service works in reverse for your departure flight. Book the Colombo (CMB) Airport transfer to Serendib Beach Hotel.
The rooms face the sea and the pool, and some have a private balcony. Each is air-conditioned, with a seating area, a flat-screen television, a safe and a private bathroom with a shower, toiletries and a hairdryer, and Wi-Fi is free throughout.
The hotel restaurant serves Asian and Western dishes with an emphasis on seafood, and is open to non-residents as well as guests. Outside there is an outdoor pool overlooking the ocean, a garden and a terrace, and the hotel has a 24-hour front desk, luggage storage and free parking.
The beach in front of the hotel is the main attraction, and the coast either side is lined with quieter stretches of sand. In Bentota, a short drive north, the Bentota River is popular for boat safaris through the mangroves and for water sports, while the turtle hatcheries of Kosgoda are just down the coast. Lakpura can arrange private transfers and day tours from the hotel.
