Cape Weligama, part of the prestigious Resplendent Ceylon collection, is a luxurious coastal and cliff top retreat on Sri Lanka’s south coast.

The resort offers 39 spacious suites and villas set across 12 acres of lush landscaped gardens, with stunning views of the Indian Ocean.

The layout ensures a serene and peaceful atmosphere, with the small clusters providing a sense of privacy.

At the heart of the resort is the Main Square, which houses the dining and living pavilions offering sweeping ocean views. Cape Weligama’s extensive facilities include a cliff-top infinity pool, a well-equipped fitness centre, a luxurious spa offering a range of treatments, and a tennis court.

The tranquil ambiance, combined with these exceptional facilities, makes Cape Weligama one of Sri Lanka’s finest coastal escapes.

What we love

High quality hotel with lots of facilities
It's owned by Dilmah Tea and is therefore in the same family as Wild Coast and Tea Trails. This demonstrates it's high quality
It's brilliant for families and couples as there are separate pools

It sits above the beach, so is more of a cliff top hotel rather than a beach front hotel. However, there is a nice little bay a short walk away with a fun restaurant and bar

Some of the villas have shared pools rather than private pools

Families are very welcome; there's a two bedroom family suite, the family friendly Cove Pool and kids menus available. You'll also find kids cookery lessons and mask painting.

Cape Weligama are committed to sustainability and established Dilmah Conservations in 2007. Key initiatives are focused on climate change, land and sea and people and culture.

In easy reach of Weligama, but also Mirissa. Cape Weligama is also just 30 minutes from Galle.

What our travellers say

We went to Sri Lanka as a three-generation family of three. The superb trip was organised by Samanthie and the team and it's difficult to see how it could have been bettered.

Red Dot organised the most wonderful 3-week holiday for us. Samanthie built a trip around the amazing sights we had requested visiting, together with her own suggestions and a wide mix of hotels, which gave us the flavours of both traditional Sri Lanka and the sleek, stylish contemporary version of the country. Our Driver made the whole experience incredibly special for us.

I can’t thank Cherylle and the Red Dot team enough for their meticulous planning of our family holiday to India travelling through Rajasthan over Christmas. As a family of all adults, every suggestion from daily activities to hotel choices was simply perfect. We travelled through Delhi, Ranthambore (an unforgettable tiger safari!), Jaipur and Agra and I truly feel we experienced the very best of each destination while moving at a relaxed, well thought out pace

My partner arranged a holiday trip at fairly short notice to Sri Lanka with Red Dot on a recommendation, Samanthie was so patient & helpful with her suggested itinerary which we followed with some minor amendments. On arrival at Colombo we met Manjula our chauffeur/guide who was absolutely brilliant!

Dulmini and the Red Dot Team arranged a fantastic trip for us around Assam and North East India. Faultless service. I cannot recommend them more highly.

We looked up, and communicated with umpteen tour operators. Though Red Dot seemed to have offices in Sri Lanka and the UK, they seemed to have the best reviews. We were fortunate enough to correspond with Cherylle, who not only assured us of the safety of our friend, but created a personalised, and flexible, itinerary which we could not have done ourselves.

A 14-day tour with Red Dot Tours was the perfect antidote to the bleak UK winter. After a glowing recommendation from a friend, we contacted Red Dot Tours and were not disappointed. Our consultant, Lahiru, curated a seamless itinerary. Throughout the planning phase, Lahiru was incredibly responsive; the final itinerary—delivered via a user-friendly 'Guest Portal'—was impressively detailed, covering every hotel stay and excursion.
