Step into a world of adventure and excitement at Cape Weligama. Borderlands Adventure Centre is located on the east beach of Cape Weligama, a brisk 2 – 3-minute walk away. Plunge into the depths of the ocean to discover a hidden world of colour and life, kayak through the glistening waters or try your hand at SUP boarding. The choice is yours.
Swim and snorkel in the aquamarine bay beneath Cape Weligama. Explore neighbouring coves by kayak or learn to surf on Weligama’s legendary curls. The Dive Centre, staffed by an experienced international team of professionals, offers a comprehensive range of PADI dive courses and other off shore activities including private sunset cruises, big game fishing and banana boating. Cape Weligama’s introduction of its luxury catamaran redefines whale watching in Mirissa, taking you beyond the bay area to open waters, making it an experience that must be on your to-do list! (Mirissa and Weligama are sister towns on the opposite sides of the Weligama Bay). Away from this idyllic coastline, explore Sri Lanka’s lush rural hinterland of sleepy villages, paddy fields, meandering lagoons and ancient temples by guided bicycle ride. Take a boat or kayak out on nearby Koggala Lake, its tranquil lagoon edged by fragrant cinnamon gardens and tropical wildlife. For adventures further afield, must see destinations include Mirissa’s vibrant boat harbour and the historic Galle Fort where cobbled streets encased in coral and granite walls reveal ochre washed colonnaded houses, colonial churches, and renowned jewellery boutiques. Elephants, sloth bears & crocodiles may be spotted on day trips to the Uda Walawe national park.

Cape Weligama, in southern Sri Lanka, is home to a gorgeous collection of 39 freestanding Suites and Villas. Infinite 270-degree panoramas of the Indian Ocean are celebrated from every curvaceous corner of this meticulously landscaped 12-acre Relais & Chateaux luxury resort, perched on a 36m cliff top. Innovative wining and dining venues hug the lofty cape and are complemented by a spectacular crescent-shaped infinity pool seamlessly merging with the ocean. Cape Weligama has become the most celebrated among Sri Lankan Beach Resorts, along this fabled island’s palm fringed shores. Thirty minutes east of Galle, Cape Weligama inhabits 12 manicured acres atop a singular promontory rising 40 metres above the Indian Ocean. Stunning panoramas await you, naturally complementing the 39 private retreats designed by one of Asia’s most celebrated architects, Lek Bunnag.
Allow your taste buds to explore this exotic island on their own! The resort features multiple restaurants that set the bar for fine dining in Sri Lanka. The 60-metre crescent-shaped Moon Pool champions the most spectacular coastal views. Below is a well-equipped gym and a casual surf bar that spills onto a terrace where pathways lead to magical ocean lookout spots. There’s also a separate family pool, a spa villa and a watersports centre offering cycling trips, surfing, whale watching and diving. A highlight is Cape Weligama’s Ocean Safari experience which heads out to sea in search of Blue and Sperm whales, Dolphins & turtles, with a naturalist onboard. After leaving the whales, we anchor in the bay of Weligama for breakfast and a swim.
The villas and suites at Cape Weligama are set within eight Wattas each surrounded by a stone wall offering a great deal of privacy. Watta is the Sinhalese word for ‘garden’. The concept here is very much focussing on privacy, but with the services of a luxury hotel just outside your door.
