Perched atop the bluffs near the southern tip of Sri Lanka, Cape Weligama provides the perfect idyllic getaway. It is the third instalment of the Resplendent Ceylon luxury resort franchise, which was the brainchild of Merril J. Fernando, the owner of Dilmah Tea. The incredible welcome we got at Cape Weligama will surely make the warmth and hospitality of the Emerald Isle rival its most famous export in the years to come.
Cape Weligama’s ideal location overlooking the Indian Ocean suits those who want to get away from the hustle and bustle of city life. The entire experience is built around the pool and garden concept. Thirty-nine villas of various sizes are built in carefully manicured walled gardens, centred around semi-private pools. The Ocean Pool Villa and the Duplex Two Bedroom Cape Pool Villa enjoy private 15m pools. Each of the villa complexes is named after a famous writer or explorer of Sri Lanka—Marco Polo, Ibn Batuta, Arthur C. Clarke, to name a few. All around are incredible views of the Indian Ocean, with heady multi-hued skies above, and blue green waves crashing against the promontory below.
