Unlike timeshares Serenia does not have strict occupation time periods or blackout periods and one is at liberty to live here as long as you wish, a further advantage of being part of the exclusive Serenia family,” emphasised Sabina.

Each apartment has been designed by Camagni consisting of Italian kitchens, European bathroom fittings, glass=enclosed rain showers, floor-to-ceiling double-glazed windows and Bohemian hand-blown crystal chandeliers.

Our prime proposition is resort living which is something that we want to share with the general public. Construction is to begin in June 2018 and we are hoping to finish everything by December next year,” noted Kodituwakku.
