Cape Weligama is perched on a 40-meter-high headland surrounded by tea plantations. Designed by one of Asia's most renowned architects, Lek Bunnag, the 39 accommodations offer breathtaking cliffside panoramas. The 60-meter crescent-shaped infinity pool seems to merge seamlessly with the ocean, while the new Cove Beach Club on the shore invites guests to enjoy relaxing afternoons and special coastal moments.
For the ultimate Ceylonese relaxation experience, therapists from Cape Weligama will come to your suite or villa, where you can pamper yourself with a soothing massage, a fragrant scrub, or an invigorating herbal steam treatment. Or relax with a yoga class or meditation session. There is no shortage of outdoor adventures either – the choice is yours: helicopter flights, sea safaris with whales and dolphins, visits to tea plantations, Sri Lankan cooking classes or surfing could all be on the agenda. Even the youngest guests will be kept busy with craft classes and child-friendly experiences.
Nestled into the natural slopes, the 39 suites and villas create the inviting illusion of a traditional Sri Lankan village. These stylish retreats feature spacious, modern living areas surrounded by tropical gardens. All accommodations feature a large terrace with dining area, in-room spa facilities, walk-in closets, fine toiletries, a steam room, and large bathrooms with two sinks and a stone bathtub. Ideal for larger groups or families, the Pool Villa and the two-bedroom Duplex Cape Pool Villa each have a private 15-meter pool, ensuring ample space and privacy.
Cape Weligama is a paradise for foodies. Enjoy the freshest catch of the day grilled at Ocean Terrace, or sample exquisite seasonal dishes at Tableau, with its dramatic cliffside location. For a relaxed coastal experience, visit the new Cove Beach Club, serving fresh gourmet dishes and wood-fired specialties. The perfect place for an authentic Ceylon tea or a sophisticated cocktail is the Surf Bar, overlooking a bay that attracts professional surfers from all over the world.
Where Marco Polo once sailed past the towering southern cliffs of Sri Lanka on some of the most famous voyages in history, Cape Weligama now sits enthroned in a prominent location. Standing high above the Indian Ocean on rugged cliffs, the luxurious resort blends harmoniously into the tea plantations, whose gentle rolling hills extend right down to the sea. Cape Weligama was realized by the traditional company Dilmah Tea in cooperation with the famous Thai architect Lek Bunnag and built in a typical colonial style. Step into a world of pure enjoyment, where time seems to tick differently and the hustle and bustle of everyday life and stress remain outside.
