Luxury hospitality brand Serendipity Retreats has secured a major accolade for its unique property, The Cavern, which was named 'Sri Lanka's Leading Boutique Hotel 2025' at the prestigious World Travel Awards Asia & Oceania Gala Ceremony in Hong Kong.
The award recognises The Cavern’s spectacular design and unparalleled guest experience, cementing its position as a standout destination for high-end travellers.
The three-bedroom boutique hotel is hidden within the Rolex Award Winning cloud forest of Totum Estate, near Agrapathana. It stands as a unique tribute to innovative design and sustainable luxury, seamlessly carved into a natural cave structure. Enveloped by Sri Lanka’s iconic tea plantations, The Cavern redefines experiential travel by harmonising five-star service with the untamed beauty of the hill country.
This recognition provides Middle Eastern travel partners with a verified, award-winning product to sell to clients seeking secluded, design-led luxury and immersive experiences in Sri Lanka.
Jennie Harrison, Head of Sales & Marketing, Serendipity Retreats, said: "We are incredibly proud to win this major accolade less than two years after opening—a clear testament to our small but exceptional team. The award validates and recognises our hard work, unique architecture, experiential offerings, and the sheer natural beauty of this special place. To be recognised alongside such exceptional hotels reinforces that the quality of hotels in Sri Lanka is now hitting the highest global standards, further cementing the island's position as a true bucket-list destination.”
