Cape Weligama

Set on a dramatic headland overlooking the Indian Ocean, Cape Weligama feels like a coastal village born from dreams, an intimate collection of 39 suites and villas, each echoing traditional Sri Lankan design with terracotta-tiled roofs, lush tropical gardens, and interiors that marry maritime heritage with contemporary luxury.
Here, space is a joy. Verandas spill into the sea breeze, expansive bathrooms offer steam rooms and freestanding tubs, and many villas gather around shared 15-metre pools tucked into stone-walled gardens. From the cliff-top Moon Pool, a sweeping crescent of turquoise that seems to blend into the ocean itself, to the family-friendly Cove Pool nestled among palms, every vantage point invites the gaze to stretch to the horizon.
Below the cliffs lies the resort’s Cove Beach, a serene stretch of golden sand where gentle waves lap the shore. It is the perfect place for morning swims, sunset strolls, or simply listening to the rhythm of the ocean, offering a rare moment of privacy along Sri Lanka’s southern coastline.
Days at Cape Weligama feel deliberately unhurried, shaped by the rhythm of the tides. Wake to breakfast on your terrace, then head out for Surf lessons, a whale and dolphin boat tour, or village cycling tours bring you closer to nature’s pulse. Back on shore, the Sanctuary Spa and yoga spaces offer restorative calm.
