Overview
When you arrive at Cape Weligama, apart from the aesthetics of distinctive Balinese flavor, you would be tempted to class it as yet another typical beach resort. But when you get into the buggy that leads you deeper into the heart of this 12 acre property, that you discover is perched atop a cliff that plunges 36m down to the sea, you are captivated by the whole ethos of a place that is fashioned in the style of a traditional Sri Lankan village. The earthy tones of the simple facades of the villas that dot the property are set off by the colourful riot of fragrant frangipani, vivid bougainvillea’s and palms that dot the landscape. The mansions house 4 spacious suites that share a fun pool. The 2-3 free standing stone villas that comprise a Wattas share 15m infinity pools. The dwellings within are luxuriously and thoughtfully appointed and come with complementary 24hr private butler services, bespoke dining and in room spa facilities, designed to satiate the most exacting expectations of a truly indulgent resort experience. The sparkling, azure toned jewel in the Cape Weligama crown is the 60m crescent shaped infinity pool that encircles the cliff edge. It comes replete with a magnificent, undisturbed view of an seemingly endless ocean spanning out into the far horizon beyond.
