Accommodations
Designed by acclaimed Thai architect Lek Bunnag and strategically nestled into the natural slopes atop Weligama‘s striking headland, a collection of private Residences and Villas; offering 40 bedrooms in all, create the welcoming illusion of a traditional Sri Lankan village.

Cuisine
A gourmet paradise, Cape Weligama pays homage to its location with the day’s freshest catch selected by you at Pola (the Sinhalese word for ‘market’)’ and cooked to order in the ocean facing De Mauny restaurant. Eat with your hands, Sri Lankan style, at Kumbuk, a casual open-air spot showcasing this island’s unique and spicy curries. Opt for authentic teppanyaki at Misaki, dramatically poised at the cliff’s edge, with nothing but azure expanse as far as the eye can fathom.

The resort’s cellar of handpicked New and Old World wines complements these extensive East to West menus. Honouring the deep roots connecting Cape Weligama to this island’s rich history, the waterfront Taylor Pavilion provides a relaxed yet refined venue for traditional Ceylon high tea, as well as to linger over sunset cocktails and after dinner nightcaps under the stars.

Ambiance
Sri Lanka’s most captivating Indian Ocean vistas, even from your bed, are just the first of every day’s revelations around this relaxed waterfront property. While a diverse range of activities are on offer year round, from surfing lessons, scuba diving and lake kayaking to rice paddy bicycling and even leopard safaris, many of our guests find the greatest pleasure in simply unwinding on their private shaded terraces, with a pot of freshly brewed, single origin Ceylon tea for which this fabled isle is rightly famous. Curl up with a novel from your residence’s private library, or amble barefoot to swim in your shimmering infinity pool. Dine on Western favourites or luscious Sri Lankan flavours anytime you like. Our wish is that you consider yourself at home along our headland.

Private Pampering
For the ultimate Ceylonese indulgence, Cape Weligama’s experienced therapists come to your Residence or Villa where dedicated spa facilities allow us to pamper you ‘at home’. Organic home grown Sri Lankan spice scrubs made from clove, nutmeg, sweet orange and sandalwood relieve stress and naturally attend to travel weary muscles while bespoke, essential oil massage blends incorporate Ceylon tea, renowned for its antioxidant, anti-ageing and calming properties. Unwind with a blissful massage on your veranda, or with a fragrant scrub followed by an invigorating herbal steam treatment in your shower room and finally a sleep inducing soak in your stone bathtub, with your bed just steps away.

Features
Our crescent-shaped infinity Moon Pool curves an expansive 60 metres around the cape’s edge, taking in sweeping, 270-degree blue views. Alongside, stone pathways lead down to secluded coves where turtles flap about in the crystal-clear shallows. Gaze into the azure distance where Weligama’s iconic stilt fishermen balance on slender poles and whales breach the Indian Ocean’s seemingly endless horizon. A fully equipped, air-conditioned gym lets guests keep in shape amidst this paradise. The ample Cove Pool offers plenty of splashing space for our youngest guests to frolic safely

Southern Sri Lanka
Emerald hues of the coconut palm frond dappled headlands meet the sapphire waters of the Indian Ocean here along this isle’s curvaceous southern stretch. Just off the craggy coast, sarong clad fishermen perch acrobatically on their wooden stilts. Centuries old stone carved temples dot the lush undulating interior where elephants still inhabit the tropical jungle. A thirty-minute coastal drive leads to the massive granite ramparts of the 400-year-old Dutch colonial Galle Fort, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and symbol of this region’s strategic importance to maritime history. Nearby, the slender white Dondra Lighthouse, built by the British in 1890, marks this island’s southernmost tip. Beyond, the vast cerulean sea churns unremittingly all the way to Antarctica.
